How It Works

Create Client Workspaces

Set up a workspace per client. Each has its own projects, billing rates, and client portal access. Clients see only their work—full isolation.

Track Time While Working

Start timer on task, code, stop timer. Time logged against specific tasks. At week's end, see exactly how many hours went to which client.

Generate Invoices Instantly

Click 'Generate Invoice' on client. GitScrum pulls all unbilled time, applies rates, creates professional invoice. Download PDF or send from GitScrum directly.

Share Client Portal

Give clients access to see their project progress. They see task status, upcoming work, and can add comments. Professional experience without extra setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Still have questions? Contact us at customer.service@gitscrum.com

Is GitScrum affordable for freelancers?

Yes. GitScrum pricing works for single users. No minimum seat requirements like enterprise tools. One price covers PM, time tracking, and invoicing—cheaper than buying separate tools.

Can I handle both retainer and project clients?

Yes. Configure each client differently: hourly rates for retainers, fixed-price milestones for projects. GitScrum handles both billing models in the same workspace.

What do clients see in the portal?

You control visibility. By default: project progress, task status, upcoming milestones. Optionally: time logged (for hourly clients), files, and ability to add comments/requests.
