A dashboard for freelancers that lives entirely on your computer. Track your leads, income, time, and to-do list — without subscriptions, accounts, or sending your data anywhere.

• Pipeline — see all your work at a glance, from first conversation to getting paid. Drag jobs across columns as they progress (Lead → Proposal → Active → Invoiced → Paid).
• Income — a monthly bar chart showing what you've earned, your best month, and a projected year-end total based on your average.
• Time & capacity — log hours by client, see how your week is filling up, and keep an eye on your workload.
• Next actions — a simple to-do list with priority levels so you know what to tackle first.
• Ask AI — describe a change in plain English and the dashboard updates itself. "Moved the Acme project to invoiced" or "Logged 3 hours on the Barnardo's website" — that kind of thing. Completely optional.

Everything is saved in your browser — there's no account, no server, and nothing leaves your computer unless you choose to use the Ask AI feature with an internet-connected AI service. The dashboard works fully offline.

1. Download the latest groundwork-x.x.x.html file from the releases page
2. Open it in any web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)
3. Answer a few quick setup questions (your name, currency, annual income target)
4. You're in

Take the guided tour on first load — it walks you through each section in about two minutes.

1. In your current version, go to Settings → Data → Export JSON and save the backup file
2. Download the new groundwork-x.x.x.html and open it
3. Go to Settings → Data → Import and load your backup

Your data should carry over automatically in Chrome and Edge (all local files share the same storage). In Firefox it won't — each file has separate storage — so the export step is essential. When in doubt, always export first.

The dashboard is available in English, Spanish, French, German, and Italian. Change your language in Settings. Switching language also adjusts the default currency symbol.

Click the currency symbol in the top-right corner to hide all financial figures — handy if you're working in a coffee shop or on a video call.

The "Ask AI" box lets you update your dashboard by describing what happened, rather than clicking through forms. It works with several AI services — you'll need an account and API key from whichever one you choose:

Add your key in Settings → AI Models. If you'd rather not use AI at all, every part of the dashboard works manually — nothing is hidden behind it.

Settings → Data → Export JSON saves a full backup you can restore from at any time. You can also export your pipeline as a spreadsheet (CSV) if you want to work with it in Excel or Numbers.

Everything works with a keyboard if you prefer not to use a mouse:

• Tab through pipeline cards, then Enter or Space to open one
• Arrow keys to move sections up or down
• Escape to close any pop-up

AGPL-3.0. If you distribute or host a modified version, you must make the source available under the same terms.

• Fix: pipeline projection now correctly calculates YTD + outstanding stages (Active + Invoiced), rather than a raw pipeline sum that could show less than already-earned income

• New: choose how the Projected year-end figure is calculated — monthly average extrapolation (default) or pipeline total
• Pipeline total mode lets you include or exclude Leads and Proposals; Active, Invoiced, and Paid are always counted
• Projected year-end now updates live when pipeline cards are added, edited, deleted, or dragged between columns

• Income chart now starts from the correct month based on your financial year end date
• Claude and ChatGPT integrations temporarily removed pending further testing

• Initial release
