ToDev is a planner for freelancers. Your tasks, client projects and invoices live in one place, so you can see what to do today and what you are still owed. TODAY Open the app and see what is due today, what slipped from earlier days, and which projects are active this week. Move late tasks to today in one tap. When the day is light, Today shows what is coming up next. WEEK See the whole week as one list, or tap a day to focus on it. Swipe a task right to complete it, or left to move it to another day. PROJECTS AND CLIENTS Group tasks by project, give each project a color, and link it to a client. A project shows its open and finished tasks, its invoices and its client on one page. MONEY Record income and expenses, mark invoices as paid, and attach the PDF. Money shows what clients owe you, what is overdue, and what you earned and spent this year. ON IPHONE AND IPAD On iPad, lists and details sit side by side and the Week becomes a seven-day board. Sign in with Apple, Google or email. Your data syncs with the web app at todev.app. PLANS Basic is free: 3 projects, 3 clients, 3 invoices and 120 tasks. Business: 50 projects, 50 clients, 50 invoices and 2,000 tasks.
