Freelancers aren’t employees. They’re self-managing professionals who thrive on autonomy—but still need clarity to deliver great work. Traditional tools often ignore that balance. CoLayer doesn’t.

When freelancer Carlos Ruiz joined a remote team designing an app for mental health, he was used to chasing updates across Slack and Trello. But CoLayer changed everything:

"I could see the project flow, leave comments, and pick up work—all without needing to hop on a call. I felt trusted and included."

CoLayer gives freelancers access to just what they need: task visibility, shared docs, and async updates—without dragging them into team politics or day-to-day chatter. Permissions are simple, communication is focused, and everything stays in context.

For teams hiring contractors, that means smoother collaboration and faster results. For freelancers, it means they can plug in, contribute, and unplug when needed.
