Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built Growlance because bidding on Freelancer.com is a grind: refreshing the feed for hours, rewriting the same proposal, losing track of who replied.
Growlance runs entirely on your own machine. It watches the feed, surfaces the projects that actually fit, drafts a tailored proposal you can review before it goes out, and keeps a built-in CRM of your clients and bids. It uses your own OpenAI and Freelancer API keys — so there's no vendor cloud, no telemetry, and nothing leaves your computer.
A few deliberate choices: • Local-first & private — your data lives in a local DB, not our servers. • One-time purchase — no subscription. Your only ongoing cost is your own OpenAI usage, at cost. • Review-and-send — you stay in control; a human approves every bid.
It's macOS, Windows & Linux. Happy to answer anything about the AI proposal drafting, the privacy model, or responsible-use guardrails. What would make this a no-brainer for your workflow?
Does the AI actually adapt to my writing style over time, or does every proposal start to sound the same after a few weeks?
How does it actually pick which projects to bid on, and can I set rules or filters so it doesn't go after ones outside my niche?
Ran it on a few of my Freelancer bids and was surprised how well the AI proposals matched the project tone without me babysitting it. Love that my own keys stay local, feels way more private than the usual SaaS auto-bidders.
How does the auto-bidder decide when to bid versus hold back, and can I set my own minimum project budget before it starts submitting proposals?
How does it actually pick which projects to bid on - is there any filtering by budget or skill match, or do I have to set all that up myself through prompts?
