Freelance UI/UX designer suffers from micromanaging clients who demand constant real-time monitoring, frequent direction changes, and unrealistic deadlines, leading to mental stress and loss of confidence.

Existing design tools like Figma allow real-time collaboration but lack client management features to set boundaries, restrict monitoring, control scope changes, and protect freelancers' mental health.

Helps freelancers maintain control and mental well-being.

Key Features

Scheduled client viewing times for Figma files with automatic lock outside hours
Scope change detector that flags and logs direction changes for billing
Panic button to instantly pause client access and escalate to support
Integrated stress tracker with break reminders and anonymous client feedback

Target Users: Freelance UI/UX designers in software and technology, typically solo operators working with demanding clients

Revenue Model: $19/mo per user SaaS subscription for basic, $39/mo for pro with Figma integration and priority support
