The freelancer admin kit
Freelance admin, handled in one kit.
Most freelancers lose five to ten hours a week to work that never gets billed: quoting, proposals, invoices, and the awkward “just checking in on that payment” emails. WorkKitly is a small set of free tools built to finish that whole chain — in your browser, with nothing uploaded and no account to create.

The Get Paid Kit
Each tool works on its own. Together they follow the order money actually moves through a freelance job — and what you type in one step (your rate, your client’s name) is remembered on your device for the next.
Proposal Generator
Scope, deliverables and payment terms in a document that looks like you mean business.
Build a proposal →Invoice Generator
Describe the job in one line, check the numbers, print a clean invoice. No watermark, ever.
Create an invoice →Payment Emails
Three tones for three situations, from a friendly nudge to a final notice that still stays professional.

Free tools, no strings
No free “trials”, no daily caps, no branding stamped on your documents. If a tool is listed here, it works — fully — the moment the page loads.
Freelance Hourly Rate Calculator
The honest version: taxes, expenses, vacation and non-billable time are all in the maths, not hidden from it.
Open tool →Invoice Generator
Smart Fill reads one sentence about the job and pre-fills the form. You check it, tweak it, print it.
Open tool →Proposal Generator
Templates per trade — design, writing, marketing, development, consulting — with payment schedules built in.
Open tool →Late Payment Email Generator
Polite, firm, or final. Fill in the invoice details once and copy wording that fits how overdue it really is.
Open tool →Estimate Generator
Quotes and estimates that convert into invoices with one click when the client says yes. In development.
Scope of Work Generator
Pre-written scope sections per trade, with scope-creep protection language baked in. In development.
Why private
Your client list is nobody else’s business
Most “free” generators are lead machines for a paid accounting suite. Your invoice — with your client’s name, your rates and your revenue on it — gets sent to their server so they can market to you later. Some stamp their logo on your PDF unless you pay. We think that trade is backwards.
Every WorkKitly tool runs entirely in your browser. Open your browser’s network tab while you use one: you will see zero uploads. That is not a policy promise; it is how the tools are built.
- No sign-up. No email gate before the download, no account, no password to leak.
- Nothing uploaded. Invoices, proposals and rates are generated on your device and stored only in your own browser, on this device.
- No watermark. Your documents carry your name and your logo space — never ours.
- No daily caps. Make one invoice or forty. The tool does not count, because it is not metering you for an upsell.

When we compare paid software, we run the same real jobs through each product, publish the scores, and date them. Prices change; our pages say when they were last checked.
FreshBooks vs Wave
Two ways to invoice as a solo freelancer — one free with card fees, one $23 a month with a five-client cap. We did the fee maths on a $2,000 invoice so you don’t have to.

Questions
Asked often, answered plainly
Yes — fully working, no trial clock, no “free for the first three invoices”. We earn money from clearly disclosed affiliate commissions in our guides when someone upgrades to paid software, and from ads we may add later. The tools themselves stay free.
Nowhere. The invoice is built and printed by your own browser. Some tools save your business details in your browser’s local storage, on your device only, so you don’t retype them next time. Clear your browser data and they are gone. See the privacy policy.
No. The rate calculator uses a tax percentage you enter as a planning estimate, so the rate covers what you expect to owe. It is not tax advice and does not replace an accountant — it stops you quoting a rate that forgets tax exists.
Yes, that is what they are for. Invoices and proposals generated here are standard business documents. For contracts or anything legally binding, have a lawyer in your state review the wording first — our proposal terms are a sensible starting draft, not legal advice.
Accounts are how tools start charging and tracking. Keeping everything on your device keeps it free, instant and private. The trade-off is real: your saved details live in one browser, and we say so openly.
