Track proposals, active work, and client follow-ups in one kanban board
Freelancers juggle multiple clients at different stages of the relationship: some are still evaluating a proposal, others are mid-project, and past clients need a follow-up to keep the pipeline warm. The Freelance Clients Board turns this chaos into a single kanban board with clear columns for leads, proposals, active work, delivery, and follow-up. Instead of scattering client notes across email threads and spreadsheets, every task lives on a card you can move as the relationship progresses. Because the board supports the MCP server and REST API, you can also let an AI agent create tasks, update statuses, and check on stalled clients automatically, saving you the manual admin that eats into billable hours.

AI agent usage
An AI agent connected via the MCP server can manage this board on your behalf: creating tasks for new client inquiries, moving cards through Proposals Sent, Active Projects, Review & Delivery, and Post-Project Follow-up, and flagging tasks that have stalled in a column too long. This keeps freelancers from manually tracking every client status update.
