For freelancers and solo studios
Leads in your DMs, proposals in a doc, invoices in a spreadsheet, and money you have to chase. Studio OS puts it all on one calm desk, shows exactly who owes you, and puts a Pay now link on every invoice.
Before
With Studio OS
How it works
The same loop every job goes through. Studio OS keeps it in one place, so nothing slips.
Each lead moves Lead → Talking → Proposal sent → Won or Lost, with an optional estimate. Home adds up what is still in play. One tap turns a won lead into a client.
Build a proposal line by line and share its page. Your client types their name, ticks the box, and presses Accept. Their mail app sends you the acceptance, and you record it in one click.
An emailed acceptance, not a certified e-signature.
Add your own payment link once, from Stripe, PayPal, Square, or any https page. It shows as Pay now on the invoice page, the PDF, and the chat copy until it’s paid. Partial payments keep the right balance.
Money goes through your payment page. Studio OS never charges anyone.
Home lists every overdue invoice with the client, what’s left, and how many days late. Email reminder opens your own mail with the note written. Record a payment or mark it paid, right there.
Phone, iPad, or computer
Open the link and add it to your home screen. Nothing to download. Pick Night or Day.
Want the same desk everywhere? Turn on sync in Settings and link up to 3 of your devices with a QR code or a short code. It’s optional, and end-to-end encrypted.
Built for your kind of work
On day one you pick what you do. Studio OS adds the lists that work needs, like gigs and releases, job sites and change orders, or sponsors and a content plan. Lists with an amount get Make invoice.
Also in the box
Contacts, private notes, project status, an hourly rate, and a timer. Hours bill onto an invoice once.
A page your client opens with your note, small files, and links for big ones.
Print any proposal or invoice to PDF, or copy a clean message for text or DMs.
“This month’s invoice” makes a fresh copy. Lists like sponsor deals bill with Make invoice.
Money collected, expenses, what’s left, and what’s still owed. It doesn’t file your taxes.
Download a backup file whenever you like. Lock it with a passphrase if it leaves your hands.

Monthly fees vs. pay once
The big client tools do more than Studio OS, and they charge every month for it. If you’re one person who mainly needs proposals, invoices, and to know who owes you, here is the math.
| Tool | Entry plan with invoices & proposals | First year | Year two |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio OS | One-time license | $49 | $0 |
| Bonsai | Essentials, $19/mo billed yearly | $228 | $228 |
| HoneyBook | Starter, from $29/mo | $348 | $348 |
| Dubsado | Starter Plan, $335/yr | $335 | $335 |
Prices from each company’s own pricing page, checked October 22, 2026, in USD before tax. They can change. Those tools include things Studio OS doesn’t: built-in card payments, scheduling, automations, and teams. Studio OS launch price; regular price $79.

FAQ
In the browser storage of each device you use. If you turn on sync, an end-to-end encrypted copy passes through and is stored on our sync server (on Cloudflare), which can’t read it. Download a backup now and then, and lock it with a passphrase if you store it somewhere shared.
Yes. One license key works on up to 3 of your devices. Turn on sync in Settings and link them with a QR code or short code; changes then flow both ways and catch up after time offline. Each new device confirms with a code emailed to you. Sync is optional, and every device still keeps its own copy.
No. There is no Studio OS account or login. You buy once through Lemon Squeezy and get a license key by email. A new device asks once for a code sent to that email.
Through your own payment page. Paste a link from Stripe, PayPal, Square, or similar in Settings, and every unpaid invoice shows a Pay now button. Studio OS never touches the money.
No. Your client types their name and ticks a box, then their mail app sends you an acceptance email. That’s a clear written yes, not a certified e-signature.
No. Reminders and acceptances open a mail app with the message written, and you send it. Studio OS never stores a mail password. The only email it sends itself is a device code or a new-device notice, to your purchase address.
You need a connection to open it. Your records are already on the device, so nothing is lost if the connection drops.
Yes. The sample desk is a made-up studio you can click through. It’s kept apart from a real desk, and Start over resets it.
