Stop managing clients across WhatsApp, email, and five different tools. Rixio is the client operating system for freelancers and small agencies — proposals, agreements, phases, payments, and time-locked client chat in one workspace.

Hey hunters 👋 I built Rixio after one too many client messages landing at 11pm on a Sunday — and feeling like I had to answer immediately or risk looking unprofessional. That's the real problem with freelancing and running a small agency: it's not that we lack project management tools. It's that our clients live in our inboxes, our WhatsApp, our headspace — with no boundaries and no structure. Scope creep happens because "yes, sounds good" in a WhatsApp thread isn't a signed agreement. Payment disputes happen because nobody agreed in writing on what "done" means. And burnout happens because there's no such thing as "off the clock" when a client can reach you anywhere, anytime. Rixio isn't another project management tool — we're not trying to be Notion or Monday for your internal tasks. Rixio is a client operating system: one workspace where your clients see proposals, sign agreements, track payment-gated phases, and message you — but only inside hours you set. Outside that window, the platform holds their message until you're back. No more phantom-vibrating-phone anxiety. What's live today: 🖊️ Digital proposals + agreements with a full signature audit trail 💳 Payment-gated project phases (no more chasing invoices for a milestone the client considers "done") ⏰ Time-locked client chat — you control when you're reachable 🗂️ One workspace replacing the WhatsApp + email + Notion + spreadsheet juggle We built this specifically for agency owners and freelancers who work on relationships, not gig-marketplace transactions — so if that's you, I'd love your eyes on it. Would genuinely love to hear: what's your current worst client-management pain? Midnight messages, scope creep, or something else entirely? Comments like that shape our roadmap directly. 🙏

honestly this looks solid, the time locked chat part is clever. one thing though, can you add a way to send the proposal straight from whatsapp when a client first messages you? like capture the chat context and turn it into a draft proposal automatically. would save so much copy pasting back and forth

Love how everything lives in one workspace without feeling cluttered. The time-locked chat is a really thoughtful touch for keeping client conversations tied to the right phase instead of disappearing into some random DM months later.
