MonoDesk - For designers, web/video creators who'd rather be creating

No one tells you that freelancing means running an entire business on your own – the briefs, the feedback threads, the scope creep, the second-guessing. MonoDesk is built for that reality and replaces the constant context-switching that kills momentum, with one calm workplace. Built for how freelance creative professionals actually work!

Heya! Aaron here from MonoDesk - we built the app we wished existed when we were freelancing.

One workspace for projects, clients, planning & a helpful AI assistant.

Really keen to hear what you think!

Hey, I’m Lou, part of the MonoDesk team and a freelancer myself.

When we say we built MonoDesk for creatives tired of juggling briefs,
feedback, tasks, and admin across a dozen tools, I’m one of them.

If you’re a creative pro, we'd love your take.
What’s missing? What should we build next?

It's free during beta. Jump in and tell us what you think.

Love, love love this! In my previous role as Cretive Director, I had to juggle so many tools - Pixieset for client submissions, Milanote for client feedback, Box… the list goes on. For admin stuff, does this support secure client document sign offs like contracts, project completion paperwork, NDAs, etc? Congrats on this! I’m all for unification

@jacklyn_i thanks so much for your feedback! We’re considering all things client approval as an upcoming feature!

@jacklyn_i  @aaron_rutley During a freelance handoff, it's proving which version got approved that gets messy. If MonoDesk adds client approval, I'd start with versioned deliverables, one-click signoff, and a lightweight audit trail beside the Planner. That makes the workspace feel complete.

This is an impressive app, congratulations! The quality of the AI-generated content genuinely exceeded my expectations, other apps I’ve tried haven’t come close. I’ll definitely be integrating MonoDesk into my project moving forward. I just found a bug on the calendar, it isn’t working properly, it may be due to a bug.

Great product! I wish I had this when I was a freelance designer. Way better than having to pay for and use different tools. Congrats on the launch!

@alejandro_mizraji thanks Ale! Appreciate the feedback!

Love it! Makes me wish I was freelancing at the moment, as this looks super helpful :) I'll be sharing with my freelance friends this week to get their take. Nice website btw!

Very useful! Especially the context switching part, because that usually distracts me, especially when switching to insta or X haha
