Brillo

The business app I wished existed, so I built it.

Freelancers and studios stitch together five tools to run their business: a CRM here, an invoicing app there, a spreadsheet for revenue, a project tracker, and something for client portals. None of it talks to each other. Brillo is my attempt to collapse all of it into one workspace. Clients, pipeline, projects, tasks, invoices, and a revenue dashboard, in one place, with multi-currency support baked in.
I'm building Brillo end-to-end: product strategy, UI design in Figma, full-stack app development with Claude Code as my pair, and a Framer landing page for the marketing side.

Landing page that sells clarity, not features.

The marketing site is built in Framer. The hero leads with the outcome ("Organize, Deliver & Grow") instead of feature lists. The product preview on the landing page shows the actual dashboard, not a stylized illustration. People considering a business app want to see what they're getting. The Framer build keeps iteration fast, so I can ship copy and layout changes the moment user feedback comes in.

A dashboard built around how freelancers actually think.

The home dashboard greets you by name and shows what matters at a glance: MRR, QRR, ARR, active value, pending revenue, project count, and a health score. Plus an Activity signal that reads the room ("Things are moving steadily. May is typically slower. Send a quick follow-up to stay top of mind."). The goal is to replace the spreadsheet a lot of independents check on Sunday nights to figure out how the business is doing.

Designed in Figma, built in Claude Code.

The entire product UI was designed in Figma first: sidebar navigation, records, clients, pipeline, projects, invoices, analytics, and tasks. Then I built the app from scratch using Claude Code as my pair programmer. Working with an AI coding partner let me move at a pace I couldn't have managed solo. Every screen, data model, and integration shipped through that loop: design in Figma, prompt and review in Claude Code, ship, iterate.

Multi-currency from day one.

Most freelance tools assume you bill in one currency. The reality is messier: a designer in India might invoice clients in USD, EUR, and GBP in the same month. Brillo handles multi-currency as a core primitive, not an upgrade tier. Revenue rolls up correctly across currencies and the dashboard reflects the full picture.

Pipeline, projects, and invoices that share state.

A client in the pipeline becomes a project when they sign. A project generates invoices. Invoices feed the revenue dashboard. Tasks roll up to projects. Everything is connected because everything lives in one schema. No more copying client names across four tools.

What's next.

Brillo is live at app.brillo.so with a free tier. Client portals, deeper analytics, and more integrations are on the roadmap. If you're a freelancer, studio, or agency lead, I'd love to hear what your current stack looks like and where it breaks.
