A design project management app is an online workspace where design teams, project managers, and clients can log in to track project progress, share files, collaborate on feedback, and manage timelines. It brings all communication, tasks, and assets together in one place, so you don’t have to juggle multiple emails, spreadsheets, or chat threads. This helps everyone stay organized and makes the design process smoother for your team and your clients.
Softr makes it easy to create a design project management app tailored to how your team works. You can connect your design assets, tasks, and project data from tools like Airtable, Notion, monday.com, or Hubspot, and set up a workspace where team members and clients can log in, review updates, upload or download files, and give feedback—all in one place.
You don’t need to write any code. Start with a template or build from scratch, adjust the layout, control who sees what, and brand it for your studio or agency. It’s quick to launch, easy to keep updated, and flexible enough to support both small and large projects as your needs change.
You can build a wide range of features into your design project management app, depending on your workflow. Here are some of the most common options:
\- User logins – so each team member or client can access their own project dashboard
\- Custom dashboards – to show project status, key tasks, milestones, or deliverables
\- Forms – for feedback, approvals, or resource requests
\- File sharing – team members and clients can upload and download design files securely
\- Search and filters – to quickly locate assets, tasks, or feedback threads
\- Tables, lists, and detail views – to display project tasks, timelines, or client comments
\- Comments or status updates – to keep feedback and project communication organized
\- Charts – to visualize project progress, workloads, or deadlines
\- Calendar view – to track meetings, milestones, or design reviews
\- Permissions and roles – so clients, designers, and managers only see what’s relevant to them
All these features can be created using Softr’s drag-and-drop blocks, without any coding. If your process changes, it’s easy to update your app to match.
No coding is required. You can build your entire design project management app using Softr’s visual editor. Everything—from layout to permissions—can be customized without writing any code.
Yes, you can manage multiple clients or project teams within a single design project management app. Each user will only see the projects and resources assigned to them, based on their login and role. This setup is especially helpful for design agencies or freelance designers managing several clients and design teams at once.
Softr supports a wide variety of data sources, making it easy to power your design project management app. You can connect to Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, Coda, monday.com, HubSpot, ClickUp, Xano, Supabase, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, MariaDB, BigQuery, and more. You can also connect other services using the REST API.
You’re not limited to just one source—combine data from multiple places in your app, so your design team can, for example, view project status from Airtable and client feedback from Google Sheets side by side. Most sources offer real-time, two-way sync to keep everything up to date automatically.
Yes, Softr lets you fully tailor the user experience and permissions for your design project management app. You can customize the app’s layout, navigation, and content to match your design studio’s branding and processes. Each section or page can be shown or hidden based on who’s logged in, so clients only see their own projects and files, while designers and admins can access more detailed management tools.
You can set up roles like client, designer, or project manager, specifying exactly what each role can view or edit. For example, clients see their project progress and deliverables, while internal team members can collaborate on tasks and manage timelines. This customization helps keep your app streamlined, secure, and relevant to each user's needs.
Absolutely. You don’t need existing data from another platform to start building your design project management app with Softr. You can use Softr Databases, which are built-in and fully integrated with your app—perfect if you’re starting your project management workflow from scratch.
If you already have project data in tools like Airtable, Google Sheets, or Notion, you can connect those as well. Softr even supports REST API connections if you want to pull in data from other sources. No matter how you start, you’ll have control over how your design projects are organized and displayed.
Yes, you can fully white-label your design project management app in Softr. You can use your own logo, brand colors, fonts, and custom domain to make the app feel like a seamless part of your design workflow. You also have the option to remove all Softr branding, so your team and clients only see your agency’s identity throughout the entire project management experience.
Absolutely! Softr gives you lots of flexibility to control both the design and layout of your design project management app. You can fine-tune colors, fonts, spacing, and overall page structure to reflect your brand and project needs. You choose how each page is laid out, arrange blocks for things like project boards, asset libraries, or feedback forms, and set what different users see when they log in.
For showcasing your project data, you can add different types of blocks depending on your workflow:
\- Table blocks – to manage project tasks, deliverables, or timelines
\- List or Card blocks – to feature project briefs, team members, or assets
\- Detail View – to display individual project overviews or milestones
\- Forms – for client feedback or resource requests
\- Charts – to visualize progress
\- Calendar blocks – to keep track of deadlines or review sessions
And if your project needs change later, it’s easy to make updates right in Softr’s visual builder.
Softr is built with security at its core. All data in your design project management app is encrypted both in transit (TLS) and at rest, and everything is hosted on secure, reliable infrastructure. You have complete control over who can access different parts of your app with role-based permissions, user management from your data source, visibility rules, and global restrictions to keep sensitive project information protected.
For external data sources like Airtable, Notion, or SQL, Softr does not store your data—it simply displays it in real time based on your permissions. You always have control over who can view or edit your project data.
Softr also uses industry-standard best practices for authentication, access control, and platform monitoring to help safeguard your information.
You can start building your design project management app for free. Softr’s Free plan lets you publish one app with up to 10 app users and 2 user groups, and supports all standard data sources like Softr Databases, Airtable, and Google Sheets.

You can sync with tools like Slack for team updates, Google Drive for file sharing, and automate tasks through integrations with Zapier, Make, or N8N.
