FreeSlate is made by a small independent design studio. We run client projects too, and we built the tool we wanted: one calm place for the brief, the revisions, the deadline and the invoice.
Briefs lived in emails, revisions in message threads, deadlines in our heads and invoices in a spreadsheet. Every project had a moment where a client remembered the agreement differently, and we had no single place to check.
The big studio tools were built for agencies, charged every month and wanted our clients' details on their servers. So we made something smaller, calmer and private, for people who work on their own.
One accent colour, clear words and nothing flashing for attention. Colour is saved for the things that need you: late, overdue, over budget.
We dislike subscriptions as much as you do. Buy it once, keep it, and get the updates.
No accounts, no tracking and no servers holding your clients' details. Your studio stays yours.
Every stage, checklist and brief template comes from running real client projects, not from a feature list.
The web app and iPhone app, client sign-off links, cloud sync with Google Drive, Dropbox and OneDrive, and the full toolkit.
FreeSlate on the App Store with a free 14-day trial, and the web version for your computer.
A client page to follow project progress, iCloud sync, and what early users ask for most.
FreeSlate is in final testing. Join early access and we'll tell you the moment it's ready.
