Stop Switching Between Five Different Apps

Notes app + task manager + time tracker + spreadsheet + calendar = five tabs and zero focus.

Notes app + task manager + time tracker + spreadsheet + calendar

→ All replaced by one input field

The average freelancer uses at least four tools for work management: something for notes, something for tasks, something for time tracking, and a spreadsheet for money. That's four apps to open, four interfaces to learn, four places where information gets lost.

Six types, one tool

Backlog replaces all of them with one unified entry system. Every piece of information — a note, a task, a deadline, hours worked, money in, money out — is created the same way: type, pick a type, save.

  • Notes replace your notes app
  • Todos replace your task manager
  • Agenda replaces your calendar (for deadlines)
  • Timetracking replaces your time tracker
  • Income + Expense replace your spreadsheet

Everything connected

The real power isn't just consolidation — it's connection. When your notes, tasks, time, and money all live together, tagged to the same clients, you get insights that separate tools can never give you.

This is what Backlog does.

One workspace for your entire freelance business. Join the waitlist.
