Project management
Project management for solo founders
One list of everything you need to do, simple projects for clients and goals, and nothing to maintain. Project management that fits one person.
Free plan, no card needed. Or book a demo.
When you are the whole team
Most project tools assume a team: roles, permissions, standups. As a solo founder you need something lighter: one place to see what is due, what is overdue and what matters this week.
startbuddi's My work is a single list of your tasks from every project. Tasks do not need a project, so it works as a plain to-do list. When a client project or a launch comes along, give it a project with a template and a timeline.
Keep it simple
- A to-do list with priorities, due dates and recurring tasks.
- A calendar that shows a crowded Thursday on Monday.
- Goals with two or three key results, if you want them.
- Your CRM and invoices in the same login, so you are not switching apps.
- Tasks without projectsUse it as a plain to-do list.
- Calendar viewEvery dated task on a month grid.
- Room to growAdd projects, goals and teammates later.
- FreeWork is on the free plan.
One list
Everything you need to do, in one list.
Every task that is yours, from every project, with priority, status and due date, and the deadlines coming up next.
- Assigned to me, Created by me and Overdue tabs
- Search, or filter by status, priority or project
- Tasks don't need a project, so it works as a plain to-do list too
Set a goal
A goal or two, when you want them.
Write the outcome, add a couple of key results and link the tasks that move them.
- Weekly, monthly, quarterly or custom periods
- Visible to everyone, the team only, or private
- Key results move by hand, from tasks or from milestones
Same workspace
Projects that know about the client and the money.
Work in startbuddi is linked to your contacts, time and invoices, so a project is never an island.

Drop-ins for a quick word
