I built FreelancEye, an open-source mobile PWA for developers and freelancers who want to find real clients.
Instead of guessing who might need a website, SEO help, or digital cleanup, you can search local businesses, spot weak online presence, run a quick AI audit, and save the best prospects into a simple follow-up pipeline.
Why I built it
Finding freelance clients often starts from a blank page.
You know there are businesses that need better websites, SEO help, cleaner online presence, or basic digital systems, but finding and organizing those opportunities manually can be messy.
FreelancEye is meant to give freelancers a better starting point.
What it helps with
The value is simple:
- Find businesses in your city, nearby, or in another market.
- See who has no website, weak web presence, or obvious improvement opportunities.
- Run an audit to understand what you could offer.
- Save the lead before you forget it.
- Follow up later with notes, status, and context.
It is built for developers, designers, SEO freelancers, marketers, and small agencies who want client leads without starting from a blank page.
How the workflow feels
The app is mobile-first because prospecting does not always happen at a perfect desk setup.
You can use it like a lightweight installable app:
- Search a city or market.
- Browse local businesses.
- Spot weak or missing web presence.
- Run an AI audit.
- Save the lead.
- Come back later with notes, status, and context.
The goal is not to replace sales work. It gives you a starting point: who to look at, what might be wrong, and what kind of help you could offer.
Open-source and self-hostable
The hosted demo has limits to control API costs, but the project is MIT licensed and free to self-host.
I wanted the hosted version to be transparent instead of hiding the limits behind a forced account or payment flow.
If someone wants unlimited usage, they can clone the repo, add their own keys, and run it themselves.

Final thought
This started as a practical tool for freelancers, but I think the bigger idea is simple:
Give people a better starting point for outreach.
Not magic leads. Not fake automation. Just a way to find real businesses, understand the opportunity, and follow up with context.
