Why Cinch
Built around the work, not the ceremony.
Cinch adapts to the way you work, so the useful details stay visible and the busywork stays out of the way.
Cinch for freelance designersProjects that stay clear
Break work down, set priorities, and keep every update in one place.
Time that adds up
Track time as you go and see exactly where the hours are going.
Organizations without silos
Move between organizations while keeping each team, role, and project clearly separated.
Integrations that fit
Connect the tools you already use with our MCP connector and API.
Nested tasks to stay organized
Subtasks that aren't just an afterthought, they are treated as first-class tasks nested within other tasks.
Your language, built in
Use Cinch in any of 25 languages, with right-to-left support where needed.
Track time where the work happens.
No separate timesheet to sync and no second tool to remember. Start a timer from any task or add an entry after the fact.
- One running timer across your workspace
- Start, pause, and stop from any task
- Manual entries when you need to backfill
- Per-project rounding that matches your billing

One source, many angles
Change the view, not the underlying work.
Dashboards, tasks, boards, tables, timelines, and calendars all stay in sync. Pick the view that fits the question in front of you.
Dashboard
See your work and the team’s in one place.
Tasks
Focus on the work that needs attention.
Board
See the flow of work at a glance.
Table
Scan fields and make fast updates.
Timeline
Plan dependencies across a project.
Calendar
See date-only and timed work in month, week, or day view.
Optional time-based tasks
Keep tasks date-only, or add an exact time for a client call, handoff, or launch. Timed work appears in month, week, and day views and can remind you when it is due.
Explore timed tasks and remindersKeep feedback on the work, not in your inbox.
Review and annotate images and PDFs inside the task already tracking the project. Invite clients and teammates to mark the exact spot, keep the conversation beside the proof, and resolve the feedback when the revision is done.
- Pins, regions, arrows, and freehand drawing
- Page-aware PDF comments with zoom and pan
- Open and resolved markup counts in Files
Field notes
Make room for better work.
A practical guide to finding clarity in the middle of a busy creative practice.
AI when you want it. Off by default.
Cinch never sends your work to an LLM on its own. Connect ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude, or any MCP-compatible client with access you control.
- Scoped personal access tokens
- One-click OAuth for supported clients
- Open MCP server and OpenAPI spec
- Revoke access at any time
