Work
Run all your work in one place.
Work is project management software for small business: tasks, projects, goals, time, whiteboards and client portals, linked to your customers, documents and money instead of spread across five apps.
Free plan, no card needed. Or book a demo.
Your day
Open Work and see what needs you today.
Work opens on a short briefing: your open tasks, the projects that need attention, what is coming up and how your goals are moving. One click from there to anything.
- Quick actions: Add a task, Start a project, Set a goal, Track a number
- My open tasks, Active projects, Needs attention and My active goals
- Upcoming schedule, recent updates and team workload on one page
Plan, deliver, track
Plan it, do it, see how it is going.
Everything in Work follows one simple order. Decide why (goals and strategy), do the what (projects, whiteboards, client portals, docs), then track how it is going (time, workload, reports).
- Plan: Strategy and Goals
- Deliver: Projects, Whiteboards, Client portals and Docs
- Track: Time, Workload, Reports and Dashboards
Workload
See who has too much on, before it hurts.
A weekly grid shows each teammate's hours against their capacity. Spot a heavy week and move a task to someone with room, right from the grid.
- Hours per person, week by week
- Reassign a task from the grid
- Tasks without an estimate are counted separately, never guessed
Connected
Projects that know about the rest of your business.
A project in startbuddi is not an island. It has its own room in Chat, links to files in Documents, pulls its expenses from Money Manager and can show progress to the client in a portal.
- Every project gets a discussion room in Chat
- Link documents, contacts and goals to the work
- Project expenses come from Money Manager

Questions about Work
Is this project management software good for a small agency?
Yes. It was built for small teams: start from a template like Client delivery or Website project, track tasks and budget, and share progress with each client in a portal.
Do I have to set it all up before I can use it?
No. Start a project needs only a name; everything else can change later. Or pick one of 14 project templates, which set up milestones, tasks and due dates for you.
Is there a Gantt chart?
Yes. Every project has a Timeline with dependency arrows, milestones, a Today line and the critical path highlighted.
Can my clients see progress?
Yes, through a client portal. They sign in with an email link, see only what you share and never take a seat.
Is Work free?
Work is included on every plan, including Free. The Free plan has 1 seat and 1 whiteboard, and you can build and preview a client portal before you unlock inviting clients.
