For freelancers
A personal CRM for freelancers — your next contract comes from someone who already hired you.
Lead lists are for agencies. Your pipeline is the PM who hired you in 2023, the designer who passed you the overflow project, and the founder who said "maybe next quarter." Endearist keeps them warm between gigs — on your device, no monthly fee.
Your contacts change jobs — and take your next gig with them
The product manager who hired you at one agency is at a new company within two years — and she's the one who'll bring you in there. Endearist's relationship journal keeps the arc visible: the first project together, the day she announced the move, the reminder to congratulate her after week one. When she's settled in and needs hands, you're not a name in a vendor list — you're the person she already trusts.
Quarterly check-ins prevent the feast-or-famine cycle
The dry spell in month four started in month one — the moment you stopped touching base because you were fully booked. Endearist's per-contact cadence reminders ping you when a past client slips past 90 days of silence, and the warmth score shows which relationships are quietly cooling. Fifteen minutes of check-ins a week while you're busy is what keeps the calendar full when the current project wraps.
Honest notes about clients need a private home
What you actually need to remember about a client is rarely flattering: pays six weeks late, scope-creeps every Friday afternoon, lovely to work with but needs three reminders per deliverable. Those notes don't belong in a cloud CRM with a vendor's terms of service attached. Endearist is local-first — your candid client notes live on your laptop and your phone, readable by exactly one person: you.
€69 once — not another line in your subscription pile
Your invoicing tool, your time tracker, your portfolio host, your accounting software — the monthly stack adds up fast when every euro is your own. Endearist costs €69 once, lifetime. And because everything exports to plain Markdown, your relationship history is as portable as your invoice PDFs: yours to keep, readable in any text editor, whatever tools you've switched to by 2030.
Referrals between clients are your best marketing
Half your best gigs came from one client mentioning you to another — and you found out by accident, weeks later. Endearist lets you log who referred whom, so you actually remember to thank the agency owner who has sent you three clients now, and to send her something better than a thank-you note when the third one signs. Referrers who feel seen keep referring; referrers who hear nothing stop.
