From brief to final
A calm operating system for a busy creative practice.
Cinch gives freelance designers enough structure to stay ahead of client work without forcing every project into the same rigid process.
Collect usable feedback
Let clients point directly to changes on images and PDFs instead of describing them in email.
Track billable hours
Run a timer from the task or add time later, with project rounding that reflects client billing.
Shape the workday
Keep most tasks date-only and add exact times for calls, presentations, handoffs, or launches.
A flexible client workflow
Use the structure the project actually needs.
A logo exploration does not have to behave like a website build. Cinch lets each project take the shape that makes sense.
Set up the client work
Keep the client, project, tasks, subtasks, files, and collaborators together without flattening every relationship into one board.
Choose the useful view
Work from Dashboard, Tasks, Board, Table, Timeline, or Calendar while the underlying project stays in sync.
Move through review
Collect visual notes on the proof, resolve the revision, schedule the next handoff, and keep the time attached to the work.
Client feedback that is specific enough to act on
Invite clients or collaborators to the project, keep comments on the exact part of an image or PDF, and preserve resolved notes as useful history.
- Pins, regions, arrows, and freehand drawing
- Page-aware comments for multipage PDF proofs
- Open and resolved markups beside the task
Billable time without a second project system
Track time from the work instead of rebuilding client and project names inside a separate timer. Manual entries cover the moments when the creative process ignores the clock.
- One running timer across the workspace
- Manual entries for backfilled or corrected time
- Per-project rounding for different client arrangements
Deadlines without calendar clutter
Keep a deliverable attached to a date, then add an exact time only when a presentation, review call, launch, or production handoff needs one.
- Optional start and due times with timezone context
- Month, week, and day calendar views
- Due-now reminders for scheduled work
Connected work
The rest of the project stays close.
