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.

Step 1 of 4. She asks: Priya asks for social sizes of the logo, in her portal.

Who it’s for

Made for the people who run the business and do the work.

Plan the day, keep every client close, and get paid without a spreadsheet.

The brand should feel like the gear: quiet, sure of itself, made to be used. We present the routes in , then build out the chosen one.

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.

What Maya sees4 of 5 on

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.

Approvals, 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.

Finance

Nothing you do goes unbilled.

The details

Small things, done properly.

The parts you use a hundred times a day, made to be quick and to stay out of the way.

Everything is a few keys away.

The command palette opens with ⌘K. Type, move with the arrow keys, press Enter.

Shortcuts you learn once.

The keys follow the words: H highlights, E completes, G then P goes to Projects.

Focus mode.

One task on screen, a timer, and nothing else until you come back.

Your calendar, beside your tasks.

Connect Google Calendar and your meetings sit on the same day as your plan.

Your day, in your inbox.

A short email each morning: the highlight, the plan, and what is waiting on others.

Bring your work with you.

Import your pages from Notion. Connect an AI assistant through Zenboard’s MCP server.
