I Built FreelancEye, an Open-Source Mobile PWA for Finding Clients

FreelancEye is an open-source mobile progressive web app (PWA) designed to help freelancers and developers find real clients by searching for local businesses, analyzing their online presence with AI, and organizing prospects into a follow-up pipeline. The tool is mobile-first and MIT licensed, allowing users to self-host for unlimited use, while the hosted demo has API cost limits. Its purpose is to provide a practical starting point for outreach, not automated leads, by helping users identify businesses that need digital improvements.

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. 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. The value is simple: It is built for developers, designers, SEO freelancers, marketers, and small agencies who want client leads without starting from a blank page. 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: 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. 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.

Not magic leads. Not fake automation. Just a way to find real businesses, understand the opportunity, and follow up with context.
