For freelancers and small studios
Get paid for all the work you do.
Zenboard keeps your clients, projects, time and invoices in one calm place. Each morning it shows the work you haven’t billed and the invoices running late, and every client gets a page to follow the work.
Free to start. Setting up takes about two minutes.
This is Zenboard itself, on a sample studio’s day. Try anything: nothing you do here is saved.

How it fits together
One request, from ask to paid.
Her portal, your plan and your invoices are one system, so a request moves through it by itself. Follow one from start to finish.

Deliverables
Linked from 2 tasks · Logo presentation, Brand guidelines
The same tasks as a list or a board, grouped by the workstreams in the project.
Client portal
Your client sees the work, not the workspace.
Share a project with one link. Your client follows progress, sends requests and signs off on work, without an account. You decide what they see.
One link, no login.
Send your client a link. They open it and see the project: progress, recent work and what needs them. No account, no password.
You choose what they see.
Turn on progress, finished work, documents or invoices. Notes, time and costs stay inside Zenboard.
Preview as client shows you their exact view.
Requests become tasks.
Your client asks in the portal. Approve it and it lands in your tasks, and they watch it move to done.
Could we add 20 more guests to the list?
SentIn progressDoneApprovals, on the record.
Send a plan, a quote or a design for sign-off. Your client approves or asks for changes, and the answer stays with the file.
Invoices, next to the work.
Your client sees what is due and what is paid, on the same page as the work it pays for.
