Built for freelancers, by freelancers
We know the chaos of juggling clients, deadlines, and invoices — because we've lived it.
Why we built Makarios
We went freelance to do great work on our own terms — not to spend evenings updating spreadsheets, chasing down billable hours, or negotiating scope that was never agreed to in the first place.
Every tool we tried was either built for teams of fifty, charged a monthly fee that ate into already-thin margins, or required handing our client data to someone else's cloud. None of them understood what it's actually like to run a one-person business.
So we built Makarios: a calm, focused workspace that stores your data locally on your machine, tracks the hours you actually worked, and helps you deliver projects without the overhead.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: help freelancers succeed. We believe that great tools shouldn't stand in your way—they should help you do your best work, stay organized, and get paid what you're worth.
We're committed to creating software that:
- → Respects your time and doesn't require hours of setup
- → Grows with you without breaking the bank
- → Puts you in control of your data and your business
- → Focuses on what matters: delivering great work and getting paid
Our Values
Simplicity Over Complexity
We believe in building tools that are powerful but not overwhelming. Every feature in Makarios exists because it solves a real problem freelancers face, not because we think it's cool.
Fair Pricing
You shouldn't have to choose between good tools and making a living. That's why we offer Makarios as a one-time purchase with lifetime updates—no subscriptions, no surprises.
Privacy & Security First
Your client list, rates, and invoices are your business. Makarios stores everything locally on your device — no cloud account, no data mining, no third-party access. Export your full workspace as JSON anytime. You own your data, completely.
Continuous Improvement
We're constantly listening to our users and improving Makarios based on real feedback. When you purchase Makarios, you're not just buying software—you're joining a community of freelancers helping shape the future of the tool.
Why "Makarios"?
Makarios (μακάριος) is an ancient Greek word that means "blessed" or "fortunate." In modern Greek, it's often used to describe a state of happiness and contentment.
We chose this name because we believe that freelancing—when done right—can lead to a more fulfilling, balanced life. When you're organized, getting paid on time, and delivering great work, you're not just successful—you're makarios.
