From the first email to the invoice being paid

Gestrics is the desktop program where a freelance translator keeps their clients, their jobs, their invoices and their payments. It installs on your computer and stays there — no central server, no cloud account, no subscription.

Neither installer is signed yet, so both systems stop you the first time. Windows: More info → Run anyway. macOS: when it refuses to open, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open anyway.

What a job looks like, start to finish

01 · Outreach

Chase clients without losing the thread

Contacts with a status, a full history and follow-up reminders.
Email templates with variables, edited and previewed on one screen.
Batch sending with your own daily cap, so you don't burn your mailbox.
Mail leaves your account over SMTP — the client sees your address, not a middleman's.

The outreach tab: contact list, statuses and the email composer.

02 · The job

The assignment, with everything it carries

Language pair, source word count and rate — or hours, for work billed by time.
Import the analysis from Trados, memoQ or Wordfast and price each match band.
Deliverables attached to the job, sent from the job itself.
A glossary per client, shared across every project you do for them.

A project card showing the assignment, CAT breakdown and glossary.

03 · The invoice

An invoice that knows where you're billing from

VAT and withholding under the name they actually have where you invoice — IRPF in Spain, ISR in Mexico.
75 countries with their own tax profile, each with its own identifier and wording.
In Spain, an invoice ledger where each entry is chained by hash to the one before it, and corrective invoices on their own series.
Its own PDF, ready to send by email from the same screen.
And it warns you when your country requires the invoice to be filed with the tax authority: already the case in twelve of the countries it checks, and in Spain from July 2027 under Veri*Factu.

The invoice card with its PDF, VAT and withholding lines.

04 · Getting paid

Get paid, and know how it is going

A Stripe payment link inside the invoice itself.
Staged reminders that follow how late the payment is.
Recurring billing for retainer clients — always confirmed by you, never issued behind your back.
Metrics: collected per month and per client, average rate, average days to payment.

The metrics tab with the collected-per-month and per-client charts.

Questions, or something broken? Write to contact@outreachstudio.app — it reaches the person who builds Gestrics, not a queue.

The trial runs for 14 days with every feature unlocked, and asks for no card. After that, using Gestrics requires a license, activated inside the app. It is a one-time payment, not a subscription: no renewal, nothing to cancel. When you buy, the key reaches your email in under a minute — you paste it into Gestrics and that is it.

Neither installer carries a developer signature yet, so both systems warn the first time. On Windows you get "Windows protected your PC": click More info, then Run anyway. On macOS the block is firmer and the app simply will not open: go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, find Gestrics near the bottom and click Open anyway. Neither warning means the app is unsafe — it means nobody has paid a certificate authority to vouch for it yet.
