What Freeter is

Freeter is a desktop organizer for keeping work tools and workflows grouped by project. Switch to a project to focus on its tools, then divide its workflows across tabs. A Shelf keeps items you want available no matter which project or workflow is open. The app includes webpage, file opener, web query, to-do list, commander, timer, and note widgets. Its webpage widget can embed services such as Google Docs, Gmail, Slack, Asana, Jira, Trello, Google Drive, and Google Calendar, with separate sign-in sessions for each project, workflow, or widget. Freeter is free and open-source software under the GNU General Public License. The maker says it does not collect or transmit telemetry, usage tracking, or other data. The download page lists Windows 10 and 11, Linux with a graphical interface, and macOS 10.15 or later for Intel and Apple Silicon. It identifies version 2.8.0-beta as current and says Freeter v1 is obsolete and unsupported. The maker directs bug reports to a community forum and says development is funded by sponsors and backers.
