Dolphinity is a company which has written in-house software to handle tasks that most freelance or small companies will need to handle. Some of these tools are made available for free, in the hopes that it will also be useful for other companies out there.

Below is a list of project management software you may find useful:

Organiser is the successor to Planner below. Organiser gives the possibility to create a tree of projects and subprojects and fill them with a variety of types of items. This enables you to subdivide projects where it matters, to keep an overview of things. Organiser added tasks & Gantt charts and supersedes Planner, being much more flexible. Organiser allows multiple types of items to be stored in the file, such as Todo items, Facts, Contacts, Tasks, Web locations and Agreements. Click the box for more information. Latest version is v2.6 (Jul 6th, 2010).

Organiser's strong points:

• A free alternative to MS Project for projects where require less statistical information (though the projects don't necessarily have to be small).
• Easy grouping of all your actions (with planning) and related tasks into groups that you define and modify as projects grow larger or smaller.
• Supported items include simple todo's, contacts, facts, agreements, actions (tasks with start & end dates), locations (websites, folder locations or even single files), mail, call and payment reminders.
• User-friendly intuitive interface.
• Tasks can be 'Waiting For' to get an overview of things you still require from people (see this tutorial).
• Gantt chart to get a visual look on your planning, including visualization of action progress/overdue actions etc.
• Fits the 'Gettings Things Done' method from David Allen perfectly.

Planner is free project management software that attempts to bridge the gap between planning with simple spreadsheets (no help whatsoever) and complex products such as Microsoft(r) Project. It does so by providing a simple interface to your planning work while still providing a clear and concise overview of things to be done. Click the box for more information.

Planner is recommended for:

• Small companies doing work for multiple clients, multiple projects per client.
• Single-persons trying to organize their tasklists, both private and businesswise.
• Time-based tasks (Organiser, see above, does not handle date-based tasks yet).

Declare is time billing software: it lets you and your co-workers store your time declarations in a simple and direct way. This multi-user program allows you to keep an overview of what you still need to invoice your client(s). It also allows keeping track of non-billable declarations for administrative purposes only.

Declare is recommended for:

• Small or single-person companies.
• Simple billing requirements.
