Our Story

About Shipmark

Built for freelancers and small startup teams juggling client work across too many disconnected tools.

The Problem We Faced

Freelancing meant juggling five tools just to run one client project

We started as a small team taking on client projects — the kind of work most freelancers and early-stage startups do: a few active clients, a handful of developers, and a constant stream of "what did you get done this week" and "wait, what did the client actually ask for again?"

A daily standup didn't fix it. Neither did a shared Notion doc, a spreadsheet of client renewals, or a password manager nobody remembered to update. Every part of running client work — the daily log, the scope, the build steps, the domain that's about to expire, the invoice sitting unpaid — lived in a different tool, and none of them talked to each other.

So we built Shipmark to be the one place a freelancer or small team actually needs: log your day in 30 seconds, track build steps across AI-assisted coding sessions, collect and approve client requirements through a shareable link, share progress back with a read-only client portal, keep a directory of every client's services and payments, and store your credentials in an encrypted vault — all under one login.

We built it for ourselves first. Now we're sharing it with any freelancer or small startup team that's tired of stitching together five tools to do what should be one.

Our Mission

“Give freelancers and small teams everything they need to run client work, without adding overhead to the people doing the work.”

You shouldn't need five subscriptions to log your work, manage a client, and keep a project on scope. Shipmark handles the daily logging, the client relationship, and the busywork around both, so you can spend your energy on the work itself.

What We Believe

Our Values

Simplicity

We obsess over reducing friction. Logging work should take 30 seconds, not 5 minutes. Every feature we ship passes the "does this make Shipmark simpler?" test.

Builder Respect

Freelancers and developers are not resources. They are builders. Shipmark gives them autonomy while giving managers and clients the visibility they need — without surveillance.

Transparency

We believe visibility builds trust. When teams can see what everyone is working on, collaboration improves and blockers surface faster. No politics, just work.
