Indy

Indy is an all-in-one workspace for freelancers that puts proposals, contracts, invoices, time tracking, and a client CRM behind one login. Instead of a proposal tool here and an invoicing app there, the whole client lifecycle lives in one place, which means fewer tabs and far fewer things slipping through the gaps between tools.

What Indy actually does

It covers the paperwork that surrounds the work you were actually hired to do, from the first pitch to getting paid. The core pieces are:

• A proposal builder for clean, branded proposals in minutes
• Contract templates with legally binding e-signatures, no printing or scanning
• Invoicing with built-in templates and payments through multiple methods
• Time tracking that turns logged hours into invoices with one click
• Tasks and project boards with deadlines and priorities
• A client CRM holding messages, proposals, invoices, and files in one record

A few of those pieces matter more in daily use than they sound on a feature list. The branded client portal gives each client one tidy place to view proposals, sign contracts, and pay invoices, which makes a solo operation look a good deal more established than its headcount. Saved templates for proposals, invoices, and forms mean you set up your standard documents once and reuse them, instead of rebuilding the same proposal every time a lead comes in. And with white labeling, recurring invoice series, and a 1 TB file store sitting behind the same login, the work, the paperwork, and the client communication finally stop living in three different apps that never quite agreed on what was going on.

Who it's built for

Solo freelancers and very small studios are the clear fit here, especially anyone currently juggling a separate proposal app, e-signature service, invoicing tool, and a folder of contracts they rewrite by hand each time. Having the time tracker feed straight into an invoice is the kind of small thing that quietly stops you from undercharging. The honest counterpoint: if you have already built a workflow you trust out of separate tools and your clients are used to it, moving everything into Indy is real switching effort. The case for it is strongest when you are starting out, or when the patchwork has finally become more trouble than it saves.

The deal

The plan is $40, down from $99, and covers unlimited proposals, contracts, invoices, and clients, plus 1 TB of storage, a branded client portal, white labeling, time tracking, and Zapier, Gmail, and Google Calendar integrations. For a single tool that absorbs four or five separate freelance subscriptions, that is a straightforward trade. [Grab the Indy deal on DealMirror](https://www.grabltd.com/recommends/indy-dm/).
