Desk FT
For freelance designers

Briefs, files, feedback
and invoices for every project.

Give each client a private desk with your name on it: the brief, every deliverable, where the project stands, a conversation and your invoices, on their phone or in a browser.

Free for your first two clients · No card · iPhone, Android & web

The typical project, honestly described.

Feedback arrives as an email, a voice note, a comment in a chat and a photo of a sticky note. Deliverables go out on links that expire in seven days. The client can't find last week's logo and you can't remember which feedback you've already acted on.

Pick a desk type. It starts filled in.

Choose Designer / Creative when you set up, then a desk type. Each comes with a starter checklist and timeline. Edit anything.

What each client gets

Turn on the modules each client needs. Everything sits on one desk with your name on it.

DOCUMENTS

Deliverables that don't expire

Logos, mockups, exports and source files on the desk. Clients download them whenever they need, from their phone or computer.

FORM

A brief worth reading

Send a brand questionnaire before you start. Clients answer in the app; you get structured answers, not a voice note.

TIMELINE

Where the project stands

Kickoff, concepts, refinement, handoff, with due dates. Clients see each stage without asking.

LINKS

Figma, references, guidelines

The live design file, the mood board and the brand guidelines saved on the desk, one tap to open.

MESSAGES

Feedback in one thread

A private conversation next to the files, instead of five channels.

INVOICES

Deposits and milestones

Bill from the same desk. Card through your own Stripe account, or Interac e-Transfer in Canada. Desk FT takes no cut.

Questions

Do my clients need to install an app?
No. They can open their desk in any web browser. The free Desk FT app for iPhone and Android adds push notifications if they want it. Either way they see your branding.
Can clients mark up or approve designs in Desk FT?
Not yet. There's no annotation or proofing tool; clients reply in Messages, and you can keep the live design file in Links.
What does it cost?
Free for your first two clients, with every module. Pro is $19.99 CAD a month (US$14.99 in the US) for 5 workspaces with 10 client desks each, and removes the "Powered by Desk FT" line. Pro is billed by the App Store or Google Play, so you subscribe in the iPhone or Android app. Pricing

Built by one person, in Canada. Questions, or something your clients need that Desk FT doesn't do yet? Email [email protected]. You'll get a reply from the person who builds it.
