The only tool that starts
before the work does.
The only freelance tool with AI-powered scoping, project management, time tracking, and invoicing in one place.
Free forever. No credit card required.
Everything your
project needs.
Project Management
Your project board builds itself
The scope becomes an organised task board automatically. No setup, no templates. Just start working from day one of every project.
Time Tracking
Every billable hour, accounted for
Track time per task from day one. Know exactly where your hours go and what each project is actually costing you before it's too late.
Invoicing
From tracked hours to paid in one click
Generate professional invoices directly from your logged time and send them without ever leaving Rootwork.
AI Scoping
Know what you're agreeing to before you say yes
Paste in any client message. Rootwork surfaces deliverables, hidden work, effort estimates, and scope risks instantly, before you quote a single number.
How it stacks up
One tool instead of three.
Most freelancers cobble together a timer, a project board, and an invoicing tool. Rootwork does all three.
