GitHub for freelancers.
Bill the work you ship.
LoomLance is the only freelance platform with native GitHub. Connect your repos, pull issues into your project board, and let smart-commits link the code you ship to the invoices you send, without ever leaving your workflow.

Your code lives in GitHub. Your business lives everywhere else.
Most freelance tools treat your development work as a black box. You ship in GitHub, then re-type what you did into a time tracker, a task board, and an invoice. Three more tabs, three more chances to under-bill.
Purpose-built GitHub add-ons only solve one slice: a time tracker on your issues, or an invoice generator from your commits. You still end up stitching five tools together. LoomLance closes the loop, so the work you do in GitHub becomes the work you manage, track, and bill, all in one place.
One tool, not five
Clients, contracts, invoicing, time, and expenses, with GitHub native, not bolted on.
Shipped work = billed work
Commits and issues connect to tasks, so nothing you build slips through un-invoiced.
Stay in your workflow
Reference a task key in a commit and move on. No context-switching tax.
How LoomLance connects to GitHub
Three steps from repo to paid invoice.
Connect your repos
Install the GitHub app and pick exactly which repositories LoomLance can see (public or private). Link a repo to a project in a couple of clicks, and revoke access anytime.
Pull issues into your board
GitHub issues from a linked repo show up in your project kanban, alongside your other tasks. Work them in one place and track time against each one.
Smart-commits that bill
Reference a task key like LOO-42 in a commit message. The commit links to the task, and the tracked time rolls into an invoice: the work you shipped is the work you bill.
Everything the integration unlocks
Repos → projects
Link a repository to a LoomLance project so the code, the client, and the billing all live under one roof.
Issues in your kanban
GitHub issues become cards on your board, with no duplicate task lists and no copy-paste.
Smart-commits with task keys
A task key in your commit message links the exact change to the task it belongs to: an audit trail from code to invoice.
Time → invoice
Track time on issues and turn those hours into a branded invoice in one click, with a public pay page.

GitHub integration FAQ
Does it work with private repositories?
Yes. You connect GitHub through the official app and choose exactly which repositories LoomLance can see (public or private). You can link a repo to a project and revoke access anytime from your settings.
Do I have to change how I write commits?
No. Smart-commits are optional. When you want a commit to link to a task, just reference its task key (for example LOO-42) in the commit message. Everything else about your workflow stays exactly the same.
Which plans include GitHub integration?
GitHub integration is included on the Freelancer and Studio plans, both of which come with a 14-day free trial. The free Solo plan covers clients, contracts, and invoicing; upgrade when you want your repos connected.
Can I turn GitHub issues into billable work?
Yes. GitHub issues from a linked repo appear in your LoomLance project board, where you can track time against them and roll that tracked time straight into an invoice, so the work you shipped is the work you bill.
Does it work with GitLab?
GitLab support is on the way. Today the native integration is GitHub; GitLab is next on the roadmap alongside income forecasting.
