The CRM that frees freelance motion designers from admin friction. Auto-import emails, track projects from Slack, and never miss a payment deadline again.
Freelance motion designers spend too much time on admin. We surveyed the community — the numbers speak for themselves.
Draftdesk plugs into the tools you already use, pulling everything into one workspace so you never have to context-switch again.
Every client email lands in the right project automatically. Thread history, attachments, and context — always one click away.
Mention a project in Slack and Draftdesk updates the timeline. Status changes, feedback rounds, and approvals — all captured.
Get notified 3 days before every agreed deadline. Invoice statuses update automatically — no more chasing payments.
Link Gmail, Outlook, and Slack in under two minutes. Draftdesk begins learning your client patterns immediately.
Emails auto-sort into client profiles. Slack mentions tag the right projects. Your entire pipeline materializes without data entry.
Payment reminders fire 3 days before deadlines. Status dashboards update in real-time. You focus on the craft.
Generic freelancer CRMs are built for photographers and coaches. You need something that understands revision rounds, comp deadlines, and the chaos of managing projects across AE, Slack, and email.
