15 places to keep a client's work. 14 too many.
The brief is in an email, the artwork in Dropbox, your notes in Notion, the delivered video in a folder whose name you have forgotten. Hector Notes brings everything about one client into a single Mac app — and finds it again when you go looking.
One note = one problem. Everything about it lives inside.
You stop searching. You just ask.
Filing is no use if you cannot remember where. Ask where a client stands, when that brief arrived, what you replied six months ago, or whether you already solved this problem last year for someone else. Hector searches everything you have written — every client, every project, including what is finished.
Only the excerpts useful to your question are sent. The rest never leaves your Mac.
You open the app, it tells you where you stand.
What is moving, what is waiting on your client, what you promised yourself you would pick up today. No schedule, no due dates, no board to keep up to date — just what matters this morning.
Four states. No dates, no priorities, no tags.
Upcoming, in progress, waiting on client, done. No coloured badges, no progress bars, no counter to push up. You have no team to steer: you have work to deliver.
And your client finally knows what you do for them.
In one click they get what is finished, what is moving, what is waiting on their answer. Most independents never send this kind of update — too long to write. Here it composes itself: you pick the period, you untick what is none of their business, you send.
That is what makes a client say you are well organised. And what makes them want to call you again.
The language of the progress update is set per client: a French freelance can have an English-speaking client.
Twenty years of writing progress updates on Sunday nights.
