Projects without setup weight
Create a project with the essentials first. Add SOW text, pricing policy, budget, hours, and client details only when they matter.
Decide what is in scope before the work drifts.
Polenest Scope is a local-first app for freelancers who need a simple record of the original SOW, client requests, in-scope decisions, out-of-scope work, and approval records.
What Scope handles
Reusable SOW library
Save common SOW templates once, preview the content, then attach one to a project and edit the project copy when needed.
Scope in / out records
Turn a client request into a clear decision: included in the project, or outside the agreed scope with hours and charge amount.
Approval records
Save a local approval record and share review text when you need the client to confirm out-of-scope work before continuing.
Common paths
Learn the daily flow
Project, SOW, request, scope item, approval record, and backup are the core steps. The guide keeps them in one short path.
Review local data handling
Scope is built around local records. You choose when to export, share, or back up a JSON file.
Get support
For app issues, include OS, app version, device model, screen name, and reproduction steps.
Keep it as a record
Scope records are project notes and approval context. They are not tax invoices, legal advice, or a replacement for a signed contract.
FAQ
Is Scope a cloud service?
The mobile app is local-first. Core projects, SOWs, decisions, approval records, and backups can be used without sign-in.
Can I move records between devices?
Export a JSON backup and import it on another device. You choose the storage destination, such as Files, iCloud Drive, Google Drive, or another provider.
Does Scope decide automatically for me?
No. You decide whether a request is in scope or out of scope. Optional local AI experiments, when available, only prepare suggestions for review.
