Your data never leaves your PC
Everything you need
Eight modules. One app. Zero cloud.
No subscriptions to eight different tools, no data scattered across platforms. Orkely runs entirely on your machine and covers the full loop from first client contact to getting paid. Everything below is in the free edition except the two marked Pro.
Free
Project Management
One project per job, with milestones, status tracking and every file attached to the work it belongs to.
Free
Tasks & Time Logs
Kanban boards and list views, priorities and deadlines, with hours logged against each task and files attached to the step they belong to.
Free
Invoicing
Invoice lines generated from the tasks you finished, branded PDFs built on your own PC, and payment details that fit any country.
Free
Finance & Expenses
Log income and expenses as they happen, correct any entry later, and watch the monthly and yearly trend without opening a spreadsheet.
Free
Files, Backup & Restore
Receipts, photos and documents kept with the project or the task they belong to — plus local backup and restore whenever you want it.
Pro
Proposals
Quote the job before you start it with a rich-text builder, then turn the accepted proposal into a project with its tasks already laid out.
Pro
Reports & Insights
Revenue, activity and billing broken down per client, built from your own local data.
How it works
One job, from first contact to invoice.
Every step feeds the next one, so nothing gets typed twice and nothing gets forgotten.

Free
Add the client
Contact details, notes, and a running history of every job, quote and invoice linked to them.

Free
Turn the job into a project
One project per job, holding its own tasks, files, hours and costs. Run as many at once as you like.
3
Free
Log tasks and hours
Kanban or list view, priorities and deadlines, with time logged and files attached to the step they belong to.
4
Free
Put the costs on the job
Parts, materials and receipts logged against the job they belong to, each openable straight from its own folder — not lost in a shoebox.
5
Free
Invoice from the tasks
Pick the tasks you are billing and they become invoice lines on a branded PDF, generated locally, with the payment method you actually use.

Common questions
Is Orkely really free?
Orkely Free is 100% free to download and use, for as long as you like. No account signup, no credit card, and no trial limits are required. Orkely Pro adds proposals and reports for a single one-time payment.
Are there any client or project limits?
No. Because the application runs fully locally on your computer, there are no limitations on the number of clients, projects, tasks, proposals, or invoices you can create.
Do I need an internet connection to use Orkely?
No. Orkely runs entirely on your computer. Sending documents (proposals, invoices) via email requires a connection, but all project, CRM, and invoicing core operations work fully offline.
