ScopeGuard · free and open source, MIT
Every client ask documented. Every extra change priced.
ScopeGuard helps freelancers and service teams capture client requests the moment they happen, check what's actually in scope, and turn extra work into approved change orders before it disappears into goodwill.
Why it exists
A client asks for one more change. You say yes to keep things moving. The work takes longer than expected, billing for it later feels awkward, and you eat the time. ScopeGuard interrupts that moment.
What you get
- Request log. Capture every client ask as it happens, so nothing depends on memory later.
- Change orders. Turn out-of-scope work into a change order with price, status and the client's approval.
- Project guardrails. Exclusions, signoffs, progress, invoices and what the changes cost, in one place.
How it works
- Define what's included. List the deliverables, and what's not included. Now the project has edges.
- Log requests as they come in. One click records the ask.
- Approve before the work grows. Outside scope? Create a change order, get signoff, and go ahead.
