ClientDock — Local-First CRM

Hi HN ClientDock is a lightweight, privacy-first CRM that runs locally. It’s designed for freelancers and small teams who want simple client tracking without subscriptions, logins, or cloud sync. Highlights: Local-first (data stays on your machine) Fast, minimal UI Client notes and follow-ups No SaaS, no per-seat pricing It’s currently in beta, with features like bulk import coming soon. I’d love feedback on usefulness, missing features, or UX. Link: https://github.com/CraftIndie/clientdock-releases/tree/maste... Thanks for checking it out

What it does

Most CRMs feel heavy, complex, and built for big sales teams—not freelancers or small businesses who just need a simple way to track clients and interactions. ClientDock fixes this with a clean, fast, and fully local-first CRM where all data stays on your device. Just an easy workspace to manage clients, projects, documents, and interaction notes while keeping everything private and organized.

    Hi HN, I built ClientDock - a client portal for service providers to manage communications and files without email chaos. Background: After losing a critical client deliverable in a 200+ email thread, I decided to build a better solution. Most "client portals" are bloated project management tools. I wanted something focused on one thing: making client communication effortless. Technical Details: - Built with Next.js 15 (App Router) - Deployed on Cloudflare Workers using OpenNext adapter - Cloudflare D1 (SQLite at the edge) for data - NextAuth v5 for authentication - Drizzle ORM for type-safe…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
