Every gig, every client, and a profile that wins work, all in one place.
Steerd is the home base for your freelance business. Keep your pipeline, the clients and agencies you win work through, and the profile you send each one, all in one place instead of five spreadsheets, a Word CV, and your inbox.

“I'm a developer in Berlin, and for years I ran my own freelance work from a spreadsheet, a folder of Word CVs, and a memory full of clients and agencies. Steerd is the tool I wanted the whole time, and it works the same whether you write code, shoot film, design, make music, or run any independent business. I built it for how we actually win work, not for how software thinks we should.”
Manuel Bieh, Founder, building Steerd in Berlin
Your business is scattered across five tabs.
Most freelancers track gigs in a sheet, keep their CV in Word, and run follow-ups out of their inbox and their head. It works fine, right up until a gig slips or a client asks which version of your profile you sent.
Spreadsheet
Gigs you half-remember to update
Word & PDF
A new CV for every client
Inbox
Follow-ups you meant to send
Your memory
Which client, which agency
Calendar
Calls with no context attached
The work is fine. Running it from five places is the problem.
One place to win the work, and keep it.
Steerd covers the part of freelancing that spreadsheets and billing tools ignore: getting the next gig and presenting yourself like a pro.
Win the work
A pipeline that understands how freelancers actually win: direct clients, and the agencies and agents who front the end client. Every opportunity, every conversation, and the next step in one view, so nothing slips between the cracks.
- Track gigs from first lead to signed
- See every open opportunity at a glance
- Never lose a follow-up again
Present yourself like a pro
A real profile engine, not a one-off résumé. Tailor a pitch-ready CV to each gig in minutes. It stays versioned and multi-theme, ready to send the moment a client asks. No more rebuilding the same document in Word every week.
- Tailor a CV per gig in minutes
- Multiple themes, one source of truth
- Versioned, so you know exactly what you sent
Run the work
Projects, contacts, activities, and status in one home base. Log a call, set the next step, and always know where every client and gig stands, without digging through your inbox.
- Contacts and projects, connected
- Activities and next steps on every deal
- Always know what is next
It grows as you do
Start solo today. The day you bring on your first people, Steerd is the same tool, now with team profiles, who's on what, and the margin between your day rates and your cost rates. You don't migrate to a different product to become an agency.
- Team profiles when you hire
- Resourcing: who is on which gig
- Margin when day rates meet cost rates
You win work through agencies and agents. Your tools should know that.
Generic CRMs see a flat "deal." But the reality of selling your services has a middle layer: an agency, an agent, or a recruiter who fronts the end client. A talent agency, a production company, a design studio, a staffing firm. Steerd models it. You track the people and agencies you work through, which end clients they connect you to, and exactly which profile you sent where. No more guessing on the follow-up call.
The agency or agent, the end client behind them, and the profile you sent. Tracked, not remembered.
On course in an afternoon.
No migration project. Bring what you have, and start steering.
Bring your gigs in
Add your live opportunities and clients, or let Steerd pull them from your inbox. Your pipeline takes shape in minutes.
Build your pitch-ready profile
Set up your profile once. Tailor a CV per gig from there, in any theme, ready to send the moment a client asks.
Stay on course
Log calls, set next steps, and watch every gig move from lead to won, with nothing slipping in between.
Why not just keep the spreadsheet?
Because the spreadsheet does not know who you win work through, and your billing tool only starts once you have already won it.
Straight talk about what Steerd is, and what it isn't.
Steerd is for winning and running the work. We are deliberately not trying to be your accountant on day one. Here is exactly where the line sits today.
What Steerd does today
What Steerd doesn't do (yet?)
Questions, answered straight.
Is Steerd an invoicing tool?
No, by design. Steerd is for the part before the invoice: winning the gig and presenting yourself. Invoicing tools already own billing, so we stay focused on getting you the work and play nicely alongside whatever you bill with.
What kind of work is Steerd for?
Anyone who sells their own services: developers, designers, filmmakers, musicians, consultants, product people, and small studios alike. If you win work, present yourself, and run projects for clients, Steerd fits, whatever your craft.
What is the "agency channel," exactly?
A lot of work comes through agencies, agents, or intermediaries who front the end client, whether that is a talent agency, a production company, or a staffing firm. Steerd models that middle layer: who you work through, the end client behind them, and which version of your profile you sent. Generic CRMs flatten all of that into one "deal."
Does it work as a small agency, not just solo?
Yes, that's the point. Start solo, and when you bring on your first people the same tool adds team profiles, resourcing, and margin. You don't switch products just to grow up.
Is my data private?
We collect only what the product needs to work, we never sell your data, and you can export or delete it whenever you want. We treat that as table stakes, not a feature.
What does it cost?
You can start for free. Steerd is priced for an individual freelancer, with an expansion tier for when you grow into a small team. No enterprise sales calls.
Get your whole business on one heading.
Bring your gigs, your clients, and your profile into one place, and stop running your freelance business from five tabs.
