What Worklenz is
Worklenz is an open-source agency management platform for projects, time tracking, profitability, and client updates. Teams can use board, list, timeline, and calendar views with custom statuses, priorities, labels, subtasks, and dependencies. Time and finance tools include manual or one-click tracking, invoicing, budgets, burn-rate monitoring, and estimated-versus-actual costs. Resource views show team capacity and workloads, while a scheduler helps plan assignments. A client portal shares project status, tasks, and milestones without exposing internal discussions or other clients’ data. Worklenz runs on web, iOS, Android, or self-hosted infrastructure through Docker. Mobile apps sync with the web app but omit advanced reporting, workload management, templates, and detailed finance settings. Cloud plans include a free tier for unlimited users and three active projects, while paid options start at $9.99 per month. A 14-day trial is available.
