BlokNotes for freelancers

Your entire freelance business in one calm workspace

Freelancing means being the project manager, the account manager and the bookkeeper — usually across a notes app, a spreadsheet of clients, a time tracker and an invoicing tool that don't talk to each other.

BlokNotes folds that stack into one workspace. The client you met this morning, the notes you took, the hours you logged and the invoice you'll send Friday are all connected records in the same place.

The problems this solves

Tool sprawl eats your margin

A notes app, a CRM, a time tracker and an invoicing tool each cost money and attention. BlokNotes replaces the stack for the price of one tool — currently free during beta.

Context lives in your head

Which version did the client approve? What did you quote? What's still unpaid? BlokNotes links notes, quotes, hours and payments to the client record, so the answer is on one page.

Invoicing day is a scavenger hunt

Reconstructing a month of work from memory and calendar entries is how hours get lost. Billable time entries and timesheet PDFs make invoicing a ten-minute job.

How it works

How freelancers use BlokNotes

  1. 1

    Capture the lead

    A prospect emails you. Create the company and contact, drop the conversation into a note, and add an opportunity with the estimated value to your pipeline.

  2. 2

    Quote it without retyping

    Pull your standard services from the article catalog into a quote — day rate, tax, validity period — generate the branded PDF and mark it sent. The deal moves to 'Quoted' automatically.

  3. 3

    Do the work, log the hours

    Keep project notes, tasks and meeting minutes connected to the project. Log billable time as you go, with a description you'll be glad to have on invoicing day.

  4. 4

    Invoice and get paid

    Convert the accepted quote to an invoice, attach the timesheet PDF, and record payments as they land. Overdue invoices flag themselves.

FAQ

Questions from this corner of the world

Is BlokNotes suitable for a one-person business?

Yes — it is arguably at its best there. One workspace covers notes, clients, projects, hours and invoicing, and you can add a reader account for your accountant later.

Does it handle VAT, GST or sales tax?

Yes: tax rates and labels are set per line item — call it VAT, GST, sales tax or anything else — with your tax IDs and bank details on every document, any currency per client and custom numbering.

What does it cost?

BlokNotes is free during the public beta, with all features and no usage limits.
