Your entire freelance
business, beautifully local.
Flowara is the all-in-one business app for freelancers — 100% offline, 100% private. Projects, time tracking, invoicing, AI, and more. No cloud. No account. Your data never leaves your Mac.
Every module a freelancer needs
Twelve integrated modules that share the same data — no import/export, no switching apps, no sync fees.
A 12-tab project hub: tasks, time, billing, bugs, risks, notes, files, and more — all in one place.
Live timer, manual entry, natural language logging, Pomodoro, and automatic app/screen capture.
Full client profiles with health scoring, contact history, linked projects, and EU VAT validation.
Professional invoices with multi-tax VAT, recurring billing, Stripe/PayPal links, and SMTP email.
Create estimates that convert to invoices in one click. Import line items directly as project tasks.
Polished proposals with rich content blocks, pricing tables, and deposit tracking.
Log business expenses by project or category with clear monthly summaries and tax breakdowns.
Revenue analytics, tax summary by rate, accountant-ready CSV/PDF exports, and payment trends.
Chat with your business data using Claude, GPT-4, or a fully local Ollama model — private by design.
Send invoices, estimates, and proposals directly from Flowara via your own SMTP, with CC contacts and timesheet attachments.
Proactive notifications for overdue invoices, expiring quotes, idle timers, and budget overruns.
A live overview of revenue, active projects, upcoming deadlines, and billable hours — all at a glance.
Things SaaS tools literally can’t do
Because Flowara lives natively on your Mac, it can do things that browser-based tools are architecturally incapable of.
Flowara silently tracks which app and browser tab you’re working in and maps it to your active project. Accurate time logs with zero manual effort — impossible in any SaaS tool.
Use Claude or GPT-4 with your own API key, or run a fully local Ollama model — zero data sent to Anthropic or OpenAI servers. No competitor offers 100% private, offline AI.
Type “worked 3h on homepage redesign for Acme” and Flowara parses it into a time entry automatically — no forms, no dropdowns.
Track risks by probability and impact, assign owners, and set mitigation plans per project. No other freelance tool has this — designed for agency-level client work.
Log, triage, and resolve bugs directly inside each project. Built for developer and agency freelancers who need more than task lists.
Flowara automatically scores each client based on payment history, project activity, and revenue — so you know at a glance who’s worth prioritising. No competitor has this.
A 12-tab project hub — nothing comes close
Every project is its own workspace: tasks, sub-tasks, Gantt timeline, tracked time, linked invoices, bug reports, risks, meeting notes, files, and more — all in one view, all connected.
Every billable minute, captured effortlessly
Start a live timer, type a natural language entry, or let Flowara capture your screen activity automatically. Pomodoro mode keeps you focused. Timesheets export as polished PDFs.
Invoices that look great and get paid faster
Create branded invoices in seconds. Multi-tax VAT lines, deposit tracking, recurring schedules, and Stripe/PayPal payment buttons embedded right in the PDF — so clients can pay in one click.
Accountant-ready reports, always up to date
Know exactly where your money stands — collected vs. outstanding, VAT by rate, revenue by client, expenses by category. Export full reports as PDF or CSV for your accountant.
AI built in — private, flexible, powerful
Flowara’s AI assistant runs on the model you choose — Claude, GPT-4, or a 100% local Ollama model. Ask questions about your revenue, get project summaries, draft proposal copy, and more. Your data never leaves your machine when using a local model.
Your top client is Acme Corp at €9,200 — that’s 32% of your quarterly revenue. Three invoices are still outstanding totalling €4,840.
Your data stays on your Mac. Always.
Flowara stores everything in a local SQLite database on your machine — no cloud sync, no remote servers, no data mining. You own your data completely. One-click backup exports your entire database as a .zip archive.
Built for real freelance work
Every feature has been built to solve an actual problem. No bloat, no filler — just the tools that matter.
Apply different VAT rates to individual line items on the same invoice. Essential for mixed-rate EU billing — most tools only support a single flat rate.
Set up monthly retainer invoices that generate automatically. Create recurring projects for ongoing client work — schedules, tasks, and all.
Enter a client’s EU VAT number and Flowara validates it against the official VIES database — auto-filling the company name. Built-in; rare outside dedicated accounting software.
Build polished, detailed proposals with rich content blocks, pricing sections, and cover pages. Link to projects and track deposit payments. Win more business.
Send invoices, estimates, and proposals via your own SMTP. Per-document recipient logic, CC contact picker, and optional timesheet PDF attachment for billable hours transparency.
Flowara grades each client based on payment behaviour, project activity, and revenue contribution. Know who to chase, who to prioritise, and who might be at risk — at a glance.
Design your invoices and proposals with HTML/CSS templates. Full control over layout, fonts, and branding — exported as pixel-perfect PDFs every time.
Never miss an overdue invoice, expiring estimate, or budget threshold again. Flowara surfaces alerts proactively — no configuration required.
Partially invoice an estimate as a deposit — the estimate stays open and tracks the remaining balance. When the work is done, issue a balance invoice that automatically deducts the deposit in the PDF. No double-billing, no manual maths.
Bill a client upfront for future work with no estimate. Hours and tasks logged to the project are consumed against the advance balance — Flowara prevents new invoices from being raised until the retainer is fully used.
Create calendar events directly from Flowara — project deadlines, client meetings, and task due dates sync to your macOS Calendar app with one click.
Start free. Go Pro when you’re ready.
Flowara Lite is free forever. Pro gives you every feature — PDF export, AI, full analytics, templates, backup, and more — for the price of a coffee a month.
Pricing in EUR. Exact price displayed at checkout based on your region. Available exclusively on the Mac App Store.

“Flowara replaced three separate apps I was juggling. Everything is connected — my clients, projects, time, and invoices all talk to each other perfectly.”
“The app/screen capture is a game-changer. I used to forget to log half my time. Now Flowara tracks it automatically and I just confirm the entries.”
“I love that everything is local — no subscriptions for cloud storage, no privacy concerns. The AI assistant on Ollama means even my chat with the app stays on my machine.”
