Track client projects through kanban stages, manage your sales pipeline from lead to won, and let AI surface insights you'd miss — all in one app, no subscription.
Every screenshot below is live from CronSpire Flowboard. No mockups.
Built by a 25-year digital project manager who got frustrated with tools built for teams. Every feature exists because not having it cost real time and real money on real projects.
See every project, every stage, in fifteen seconds. The thing that got lost in Monday's long scroll — a project you forgot to chase, a client you owed an update — is impossible to miss in a kanban view. Drag projects between stages, set deadlines, add Figma and Drive links directly on the card.
Your sales pipeline and your projects in the same app, open at the same time. The moment that changes your freelance business is when you can see — without switching tools — that you have three active projects and an empty pipeline. That visibility is what prevents the feast-or-famine cycle. Included in CRM Only and Full plans.
Start a timer when you begin work, or add hours manually. After enough projects, you'll start seeing patterns — the type of work you always underestimate, the clients whose scope always expands, the projects that look profitable until you count the hours. That data changes how you quote. Included in PM Only and Full plans.
Create professional quotes with your company details, line items, taxes, and notes. Export as polished PDFs. When a deal is won, convert it to a project in one click — your pipeline flows directly into your project board without re-entering anything. Included in CRM Only and Full plans.
The feature I built because I was tired of guessing. Before sending a quote, work out what the project actually costs you — broken down by in-house staff, contractors, outsourced teams, and your own time. Add overhead, a risk buffer, and your target margin. The calculator tells you the minimum you need to charge to hit your number. Then push it straight into the quote builder — AI generates professional client-facing line items that hit your price without exposing your costs. Included in CRM Only and Full plans.
Not a chatbot. Not a content generator. The AI watches your actual project and deal data and flags the things that cost you money when you miss them — a deal sitting in Proposal for three weeks without a follow-up, a project with no movement in ten days, a pipeline that looks full but has nothing closing for two months. 500–1,000 actions included, or connect your own API key for unlimited use.
See your weighted pipeline value, monthly revenue projections, and what your pipeline history tells you about the next 90 days. Spot a slow month coming before it arrives — which gives you time to do something about it. Included in CRM Only and Full plans.
See everything that happened across your business in one timeline — deals moved, projects updated, hours logged. The weekly AI review summarises your week across projects and pipeline so Monday morning starts with clarity instead of archaeology through your inbox.
Close projects properly with a full retrospective — total hours, timeline accuracy, lessons learned. Share a live read-only project view with clients via a private link so they can check progress without emailing you for updates. Included in PM Only and Full plans.
Installs on Windows, Mac, and Linux as a standalone desktop app. Full functionality without internet — your data stays local and changes sync automatically when you're back online.
Your data syncs securely to encrypted cloud storage. Access your workspace from any device with the same license key. Never lose your work, no matter where you are.
Work in GBP, USD, EUR, CAD, AUD, or any custom currency. Choose your preferred date format. Built in the UK, used by freelancers worldwide.
Unlike every other project management tool, Flowboard is a one-off purchase. No monthly fees, no per-seat pricing, no surprise charges. Pay once, use forever.
See everything that matters in one unified dashboard. Sales stats, project health, AI insights, and upcoming follow-ups — all in real time.
Pipeline value, won revenue, weighted forecast, conversion rate, and total deals — with beautiful KPI cards and colour-coded progress bars for each stage.
Total projects, in-progress count, completion rate, overdue alerts, average progress, health summary by priority, and projects by stage with donut charts.
Claude AI analyses your data and surfaces what needs attention: stalled projects, cold deals, pipeline imbalances, revenue risks, and smart recommendations.
Never miss a follow-up. See all upcoming contact dates, snooze reminders, and get email notifications for deals that need your attention today.
Built for freelancers who sell services, not products. Every feature exists because solo professionals need it.
