Manila

Manila brings the feel of a vintage accordion folder right to your pocket, giving freelancers a tactile and focused way to manage client project briefs. Each project lives as a manila card where you record the client name, a clear project title, and the deadline. Adding a new brief is always one tap away thanks to a simple floating action button that sits within easy reach. Your Dashboard greets you with two handwritten sticky-note counters showing how many briefs are still open and which ones are due this week, plus a quick list of your three most recently added projects. From there, the Open tab organizes every active brief by deadline so you instantly know what needs attention first. Tapping any card brings up the full detail view where you can edit the information and keep it current. When you finish a project, a natural swipe left on the brief reveals a complete action that moves it to your Archive without any fuss. The Archive tab holds all your finished work in a tidy, read-only gallery where each card wears a subtle binder-hole reinforcement ring and a warm terracotta paperclip, signaling completion without checkmarks or clutter. A dedicated Search tab lets you find any brief by client name or project title in seconds, no matter how thick your folder gets. Everything you store stays only on your device, so your client details and deadlines remain private and fully accessible even when you are offline. There are no accounts to create, no cloud sync to manage, and no subscriptions to worry about. The entire experience echoes a physical filing system with a textured kraft paper background, dog-eared card corners, and colored paperclips that signal status at a glance — teal for open, terracotta for complete. Manila helps you bring order to multiple freelance gigs, track short-term contracts, and keep your day focused on the work that matters, all within an interface that feels reassuringly analog and refreshingly simple.
