Freelancer OS — Client CRM, Projects, Proposals, Invoices & Time Tracking with Real Hourly Rate

Run a freelance business, not a pile of apps — and finally see what each client actually pays you per hour. Freelancer OS keeps clients, projects, proposals, invoices and tracked time in one linked Notion hub, and surfaces the truth generic templates never compute: your real hourly rate per client and effective rate per project (earnings ÷ hours actually worked). The 'great' client who haggles and scope-creeps often ranks below the quiet one — now you can see it, and quote your next job from data instead of hope.

What's inside:

• Client CRM — lifetime value, hours worked, star ratings and a real-hourly-rate ranking of who to keep and who to fire.
• Project pipeline — board and calendar from Proposal → Active → Delivered → Paid, each row showing effective rate, profit and outstanding.
• Time log — billable hours that don't just get logged, they price your next quote and drive billable utilization.
• Invoices with aging — draft, sent, paid, overdue, with a days-overdue chase view so you get paid faster and never lose one.
• Proposal pipeline — sent / viewed / won / lost with an automatic win-rate and open-pipeline value.
• Expenses & real profit — fee minus business costs, per project and overall, ready for tax season.
• Client onboarding — a reusable intake questionnaire and welcome checklist so you look pro from day one.
• Tasks per project — due-dated with overdue / due-soon flags.
• 40+ AI freelance prompts — proposals, scope guards, rate-raise notes, invoice chasers, weekly summaries.

A business dashboard ties it together: income this month, outstanding invoices, active projects with deadlines, time this week, and live KPIs (average effective rate, billable utilization, proposal win-rate, pipeline value). Works for any service freelancer — designer, developer, writer, VA, consultant or marketer. This is a business-organization template, not legal, tax or financial advice.
