I'm the creator, Chris :)
I'm stoked to be able to share v2.0 of Swair with you all. After working hard over the past year and listening to feedback, new features have been added that aim to help our users work better with clients.
What is Swair? Swair is an all-in-one communication hub that is a task management tool, client portal and payment gateway.
The problem: If you're a freelancer or customer, have you had to deal with multiple communication channels to work on one task? Email, dropbox, slack, Whatsapp, the list can go one. Because of this there is no unification of information, files and conversations, so communication becomes fragmented and it's easy for mistakes and disorganisation to impact things.
The solution: Based on my own experience dealing with contractors, I wanted an all-in-one hub to serve as the place to not only work on tasks, but serve as a portal into the work, so I can be kept up-to-date on what's being done and not make a job out of keeping informed. And so, Swair was born from my own frustration and desire to improve communication and collaboration by providing a common workspace that satisfies the needs of both sides. It allowed me to make better informed decisions with less effort and reduced the level of anxiety on the job.
Swair is FREE to use for clients or those not wanting to make use of payment features.
