For freelancers

Spend less time chasing, more time doing the work.

For designers, photographers, writers, consultants, developers and coaches who'd rather not be their own accounts department.

A week with Puffin

  1. Monday. “Quote Alex for the brand refresh.” You check the card and tap Send.
  2. Wednesday. Alex taps Accept on the quote page. No account, no printing, no signing.
  3. Thursday. “Invoice Alex for his quote.” Same lines, same terms, nothing typed twice.
  4. Friday. Alex pays by card from the Pay now link, and the invoice shows as paid.

Set up from what you already have

Tell Puffin you're a wedding photographer, or paste your website. It suggests your services, prices and payment terms, picks up your logo and colors, and you change anything before it's saved.

Reminders that don't burn bridges

  • You say: “Who's late?”

    Puffin shows: Who to chase

    Leo, invoice 127 days late

    Bloom Studio, quoteNo reply for 4 days

    Sample data

  • You say: “Remind Leo, nicely”

    Puffin shows: Reminder for Leo

    Hi Leo, just a friendly note that invoice 12 for $600 was due last week. You can pay it here…

    Sample data

The later an invoice gets, the firmer the wording: gentle, then firm, then final. On Free, every reminder waits for you to tap Send. On Pro, Puffin can send payment reminders by itself, and you can switch that off for any client you'd rather handle yourself.

And the rest of the admin

  • Clients

    Paste an email signature and Puffin saves the name, company and email, with notes and history.

  • Possible work

    Keep track of leads until they're won or lost, then turn one into a quote.

  • Hours

    Log time as you go, approve it, and bill it as lines on a draft invoice.

  • How business is going

    Ask what you earned this month, what's owed and who your best clients are.

  • Focus timer

    25 minutes of focus, then a short break, right in the chat.

  • Bring your records

    Upload a spreadsheet or an export from Bonsai or HoneyBook to bring in clients and unpaid invoices.
