What collaboration tools do you use/recommend?
In the case of freelancing, I’m wondering what software/tools other developers use? I’m doing a small amount of work outside of my day job. So at the moment, I have the following requirements:
- Jobs are kept small (collaboratively) so that they can be tracked and managed easily
- These are maintained as a task list
- As these jobs are done, I’ll document how much time it took me
- At the end of the billing period, I’ll summarise these jobs in an Invoice
Hopefully, this means that there are no surprises at the end of the billing period. However, we’re just using free software to manage this (the tasks are in Notion, I use PayPal to invoice).
So I’m wondering, what tools do other developers use? Are there processes that I should think about that I’m not doing? Interested to hear your thoughts!

I recently shared how I track my billable work in Notion in this short video:
When it comes to the actual invoices, I use Wave. For some smaller amounts I take advantage of their payment capture for the invoices as well. Otherwise most clients pay me via direct bank deposit.
Hope this helps.
