Projects give structure to your freelance work. Each project belongs to a client, has a deadline, and can be broken into milestones — discrete deliverables with their own due dates and payment amounts. As milestones are completed and invoiced, Hedwig tracks your progress automatically.

​
Create a project

1

Open the new project form

Go to Workspace → Projects and tap Create Project, or navigate to Projects from the main menu.
2

Set the project details

Fill in the core project information:
3

Add milestones (optional)

You can add milestones right from the project creation screen. Each milestone needs a title, an amount, and a due date. Add as many as the project requires.
4

Create the project

Tap Create. Hedwig creates the project, generates a draft contract, and — if you’re on the Pro plan — automatically creates a draft invoice for each milestone.
When you create a project with a deadline, Hedwig adds a “Project ending” event to your calendar automatically. If you connect Google Calendar, this event syncs there too.

​
Milestones

Milestones break a project into stages. Each milestone tracks its own due date, payment amount, and completion status.

​
Milestone statuses

​
Add a milestone to an existing project

Open the project and tap Add Milestone. You’ll need to provide:
  • Title — what you’re delivering (e.g. “Design mockups”, “Final delivery”)
  • Amount — the payment due for this milestone
  • Due date — when this milestone is due
When you save a milestone with a due date, a “Milestone due” event is added to your calendar.

​
Generate an invoice for a milestone

Once you’re ready to bill for a milestone, open the milestone and tap Generate Invoice. Hedwig creates a draft invoice pre-filled with the milestone title, amount, and client details. From there you can choose which blockchain network to receive payment on and send the invoice directly to your client.
You can only generate one invoice per milestone. If a milestone already has an invoice, the option is disabled.

​
Project status tracking

Each project has one of four statuses: When you mark a project as Completed, Hedwig automatically invoices any milestones that are still in Pending status and emails your client a project completion summary. The calendar deadline event is also updated.

​
Progress tracking

Inside each project you’ll see a progress summary:
  • Milestones completed — count of milestones with an Invoiced or Paid status
  • Completion percentage — calculated from total vs. completed milestones
  • Total amount — sum of all milestone amounts
  • Amount paid — sum of milestones with a Paid status

​
How projects connect to invoices and contracts

When you create a project, Hedwig automatically:
  1. Generates a draft contract using AI, pre-filled with the client’s name, your name, the scope of work, and all milestone details. The contract is linked to the project and client.
  2. Creates draft invoices for each milestone (Pro plan only). These invoices are ready to send when you reach each milestone.
You can view linked invoices and the project contract directly from the project detail screen.
On the free plan, milestone invoice automation is not available. You can still generate invoices manually from each milestone after you create the project.
