About the startup

Stop paying for five tools when one does it all. Most freelancers run their business across a mess of apps — Notion for notes, Toggl for time, DocuSign for contracts, Asana for tasks, and some cobbled-together client update system. Chik replaces all of it. What Chik gives you: Task & project management: Create tasks and subtasks, set due dates, upload files, and leave comments. Organised and fast, without the enterprise bloat. A dedicated client portal Invite clients as Partners via email. They get a clean, simplified dashboard showing only the tasks you've assigned to them. Your internal drafts, notes, and billing stay completely private. They never see the mess. Built-in time tracking Log billable hours per task, synced in real-time across all your devices. Generate a shareable, live time report link in one click — it auto-updates every time you log hours, so your clients always have an accurate picture of what they're paying for. Legally binding contracts Draft, send, and get contracts signed without leaving your workspace. Clients sign with their legal name and a one-time verification code. Fully compliant with ESIGN (USA) and eIDAS (Europe). Tamper-proof and downloadable as PDF. Notes Write meeting notes, project briefs, and SOPs. Organise in folders. Share anywhere via a public link. Who is it for? Freelancers and small agencies who are tired of tool sprawl. Especially web designers, copywriters, social media managers, virtual assistants, consultants, and anyone who bills clients for time. Pricing Chik Basic is free forever — includes full task management. Chik+ is a one-time $97 lifetime deal that unlocks everything: client portals, time tracking, contracts, and notes. No monthly fees, no per-seat charges, no surprises. The Teams plan ($157 lifetime) adds up to 15 team members.
