Nabbly

About Nabbly

Nabbly is a single board for freelance projects and remote roles, built because finding the work is its own unpaid job.

The problem it solves

Freelance briefs and remote roles are scattered across a dozen job boards, hiring communities and mailing lists. Checking them properly means keeping tabs open all day; checking them casually means missing the ones worth having. Either way the searching is unpaid, and it never really stops.

What it actually does

Nabbly watches those places continuously and puts every new posting in one place, usually within minutes. Each one is tagged by field, budget and urgency, so a board of tens of thousands becomes a short list of the work that fits you. Tell it what you do and it ranks around that; it can also ping you the moment something lands, and draft an opening reply from the posting itself.

What it doesn't do

It doesn't host work of its own, take a cut, or charge anyone to post. It doesn't vet the people behind a listing either โ€” these are public postings gathered as they were written, so the usual caution applies to anything asking for money up front. And it can't promise you the job: replying early gets you read, it doesn't beat being the better fit.

A message from our founder

I'm Benjamin. I freelance, same as you. I built Nabbly because of how that actually feels.

Not the work itself. The work is the good part. It's everything around it. The Sunday night you count what's booked and it isn't enough. The gig you'd have been perfect for, found four days after it closed. The week you spent refreshing tabs instead of doing the thing you're good at, telling yourself that counted as working.

Nobody warns you that going out on your own means the looking never stops. It follows you into evenings and weekends, and into the holiday you finally took. It sits in your chest at 2am, doing arithmetic about next month.

And because it's unpaid, and nobody sees it, you start to assume everyone else has this figured out. That you're the only one scrambling. You're not. It's the job nobody put in the job description.

I wanted the opposite. Not more hustle. Less. A version of freelancing where the work comes to you, where security stops being something you chase and becomes something you have. Whatever you do, whatever field you're in, there should always be something worth going after. Finding it shouldn't cost you your evenings.

That's the whole reason this exists. Freedom is the point. Not the word on a brochure. The real kind: knowing something is coming next. Turning down the work that's wrong for you. Asking for what you're worth. Resting on a Sunday.

You didn't go freelance to spend your evenings looking. Take them back. Leave the looking to us, and let the work come to you.
