How it works

From setup to signed contracts in three simple steps.

The FreelanceFilter workflow is four steps: define your filter, set client-quality floors, choose a delivery channel, and respond when a match lands. You do the defining and the pitching; the monitor does the searching. The catch: the workflow is only as fast as your response to it.

Our servers read Upwork's public job listings on the schedule you set — not an RSS feed, not a browser extension, and never your Upwork account. Upwork switched RSS and Atom off on 20 August 2024 and never replaced them. Nothing runs in your browser and nothing runs as you, so your machine can be switched off and your Upwork account is never the thing making requests.

What this does not do

The workflow automates the search, not the sale. You still write every proposal and negotiate every rate — the monitor just makes sure you see the right jobs in time.

The number that matters

The whole workflow exists to win the first 10 minutes. A 15-minute monitor plus a fast pitch is the only reliable way to be in the first wave.

01

02

Press Play

Set your monitoring interval and let FreelanceFilter run on your servers, not your laptop. You can leave a monitor on around the clock, or confine it to a daily active window in your own timezone so it only runs during the hours you work—hours outside the window cost nothing.

  • Intervals from 1 min to 4 hours
  • 24/7 automated monitoring
  • Real-time status dashboard
  • Pause and resume anytime
