About this tool
Keep Contract Templates, Clauses, and Signature Notes in One Local Workspace
Every freelancer develops a set of contract clauses over time. The scope-of-work language that prevents revision creep. The payment schedule that protects cash flow. The intellectual property transfer that keeps ownership clear. The termination clause that handles cancellations without a dispute. These clauses are hard-won from experience, and they are usually scattered across old PDFs, email threads, and project folders where they are tedious to find and easy to forget.
This contract template manager gives those clauses a dedicated local home. Create records for contract templates, client-specific drafts, sent contracts, and signed agreements. Store the clause text, client legal details, signer name, signed date, and internal notes all in one browser workspace. Everything is saved in IndexedDB on your device - contract language, client details, and signing notes are not uploaded anywhere.
The clause library is the core value. Structure your templates around the sections that matter most: scope of work, payment schedule, revision policy, intellectual property, confidentiality, cancellation, and termination. When a new project comes in, the template gives you a ready starting point instead of a blank document. Edit the client-specific sections, adjust the scope language, and the draft is 80% complete before you open a word processor.
Status tracking separates templates from active work. Use Template for reusable structures, Draft for client-specific work in progress, Sent for agreements under client review, and Signed for completed contracts. The summary metrics show how many contracts are in each state, which is useful when you have several concurrent projects.
This is a drafting and record-keeping workspace, not legal advice. The wording in your contracts is your responsibility. If you work in a high-stakes context or an industry with specific legal requirements, consult a qualified professional. Use this tool to organize and draft contract language efficiently, not to replace professional legal review.
Use this after a proposal is accepted in Proposal Builder, before project tasks start in Mini Kanban, and before billing begins in Local Invoice Tracker. Export JSON backups before clearing browser data or moving devices.
If you are a developer or designer freelancer looking to build skills and command higher rates, the React Playground, CSS Playground, and HTML Playground offer structured, interactive learning - no install, no setup required.
Step by step
How to Use
- 1Create a contract template or draftStart with a title, client name, status, and effective date. Use Template for reusable language, Draft for client-specific edits, Sent for contracts under review, and Signed for completed agreements.
- 2Add client detailsUse the client details field for legal names, email addresses, company names, billing addresses, or other information you need in the agreement.
- 3Store reusable clausesPaste clause groups for scope of work, payment schedule, revision policy, ownership, confidentiality, termination, and handoff. Keep the text readable so it can be copied into your final agreement.
- 4Record signatures and datesAfter the agreement is signed, add signer name, signed date, and any notes about where the signed copy is stored.
- 5Export contract recordsUse Print / PDF for a selected contract record, CSV for a spreadsheet overview, and JSON for a full local backup before clearing browser data.
- 6Back up to GitHub Gist (optional)Click the GitHub icon in the toolbar and paste a personal access token with gist scope. Your contract templates sync automatically every 10 seconds after edits and are stored as a private Gist - restore on any device by entering the same token and Gist ID.
- 7Keep your Gist private — never store sensitive data in itGitHub private Gists are not truly encrypted — they are unlisted links. Anyone who has your Gist URL or Gist ID can read the full contents without logging in. Never share your Gist URL, Gist ID, or Personal Access Token with anyone. Avoid storing passwords, API keys, or highly sensitive credentials. For maximum privacy with no data leaving your device, skip Gist sync and use the Export and Import buttons to transfer files manually instead.

Frequently Asked Questions
Freelancers usually reuse clauses for scope, revisions, payment, ownership, confidentiality, and termination. This tool gives those clauses a dedicated local place instead of scattering them across old contracts. You can keep template records and client-specific drafts separate with the status field.
Yes. Contract records are saved to IndexedDB in your browser. That means clause text, client details, signer names, and signed dates stay on your device unless you export a file yourself.
This tool helps organize contract templates and clause text, but it does not provide legal advice. You are responsible for the wording you use and should consult a qualified professional for legal requirements in your location. Use the tool as a drafting and record-keeping workspace.
Set the contract status to Signed, then add the signer name, signed date, and notes about where the signed file lives. The summary metrics show how many records are templates, sent contracts, and signed contracts.
Yes. Select a contract record and use Print / PDF. The browser opens a printable document with the saved fields, which you can save as PDF from the print dialog.
Common reusable clauses include scope of work, payment schedule, revision limits, client feedback deadlines, intellectual property transfer, confidentiality, cancellation, and termination. Keeping these in one place makes each new draft faster and more consistent.
Use Proposal Builder to define the offer, this tool to organize the agreement language, Scope Creep Tracker to record later changes, and Local Invoice Tracker when payments are due.
Yes. IndexedDB data can be removed when you clear site data. Use Export JSON before browser cleanup, device migration, or profile reset so you can import the contract records again later.
Yes - use the GitHub Gist backup. Click the GitHub icon in the header, paste a personal access token (gist scope only), and click Sync Now. Your data is saved as a private Gist and auto-syncs every 10 seconds after edits. On another device, paste the same token and Gist ID to restore.
GitHub "private" Gists are not encrypted — they are unlisted links. Anyone who has your Gist URL or Gist ID can read the full contents without needing a GitHub login. Never share your Gist URL, Gist ID, or Personal Access Token with anyone. Avoid storing passwords, API keys, or highly sensitive credentials. Use Gist sync for regular workflow data only. For maximum privacy with no data leaving your device at all, skip Gist sync and use the Export and Import buttons to move files manually via USB or your own encrypted storage.
