One platform to run your business
and manage your sites.
MeadowStudio brings your freelance CRM, client portal, invoicing, and a professional WordPress development environment together — free, in a single workspace.
No credit card required. Free forever for solo workers.
Why MeadowStudio
Everything under one roof — not five subscriptions.
MeadowStudio was built by a freelancer who got sick of juggling separate tools for proposals, time tracking, invoicing, client communication, and WordPress development. We stripped everything back and rebuilt it from scratch.
Draft a proposal, capture a digital signature, track hours on your Kanban board, convert them into a PayPal-ready invoice, and when the client approves, flip open the IDE and ship the work — all within MeadowStudio.
Free Core
Unlimited projects, tasks, invoices, and full IDE access for solo workers.
Passwordless Portal
Clients receive a Magic Link — no account needed to view updates and pay invoices.
Meadow Studio IDE
Your WordPress backend, reimagined.
No more bouncing between FTP, phpMyAdmin, and local editors.
Everything you need, nothing you don’t.
Twenty-two features. One workspace. Free to start.
One-Click Invoicing
Convert approved project budgets and tracked billable hours into professional, PayPal-ready invoices in seconds. No copy-pasting.
Unified Time Tracking
Log hours directly against project tasks. Every billable minute is captured and ready to invoice — no standalone timers, no spreadsheets.
Passwordless Client Portal
Send clients a secure Magic Link. They view proposals, track progress, and pay invoices — no account, no password, no friction.
Kanban Pipelines
Track leads from first enquiry to paid invoice on a drag-and-drop board. Customise stages to match exactly how you work.
Automated Invoice Chasers
Hate asking clients for money? Let MeadowStudio do it. Polite, professional reminders go out automatically when an invoice goes overdue.
Site Protection
Safe Save Technology
Every PHP edit is locally linted for syntax errors before hitting the server. A bad semicolon blocks the save — your live site stays up.
AI Copilot
AI Copilot
AI assistance is built into your subscription. Highlight any code to debug, optimise, or use Auto-PHP to write plain-English instructions — no API keys needed.
Data Control
Advanced DB Explorer
Run structural SQL queries, rename tables, and auto-generate UPDATE and DELETE statements inside a clean visual grid — no phpMyAdmin required.
Code Management
Virtual Snippets
Write and manage standalone PHP snippets stored safely in your database. Assign them to WordPress hooks and toggle them live with a single click.
Version Control
Local History Timeline
Every safe save generates an automatic backup. Browse the chronological timeline of any file and restore previous versions in one click.
DevOps
Integrated Terminal
Monitor your live debug.log and profile WordPress hooks directly from the browser’s integrated terminal.
Hire an AI Team
Upgrade to Pro and meet Bob & Daniella — your virtual assistants who read 40-page briefs, draft executive summaries, and build your to-do lists overnight.
Built-in Email Inbox
Send and receive email without leaving your workspace. Compose directly from a lead or project record, and your full inbox lives in the same tab.
Internal Staff Chat
Real-time direct messaging between team members with typing indicators, reactions, and a built-in meeting scheduler — no Slack subscription needed.
Team Calendar
A shared calendar for meetings, events, and deadlines. Unscheduled tasks surface alongside your calendar so nothing slips through the cracks.
Helpdesk & Issue Tracker
A full ticketing queue with priority levels, custom fields, and client-visible tickets — your clients can raise and track issues directly through their portal.
Financial Reports
Cash Flow & P&L, Sales Performance, Tax Liability, and Web Visitor reports in one place — everything you need at tax time without the accountant fees.
Product & Service Catalog
Build a catalog of your products and services. Add them to quotes and invoices in one click — no retyping prices or descriptions ever again.

Visitor Analytics & Customer 360
See who is browsing your site page-by-page. De-anonymise a visitor into a CRM lead in one click, then view their full 360 profile of interactions and history.
Strategy & Roadmap Designer
Drag-and-drop project phases with cost per phase and a running total. Attach a strategic roadmap to any lead or project and share it with your client.
Visual Architecture Map
A live dependency graph of your plugin’s files and function relationships. See exactly how your code is connected before you change anything.
Your business tool and your dev environment. Finally, one place.
