Basalt PMS
An operating system built for freelancers and video production studios. Basalt removes operational chaos — so you can deliver faster and with more control.
Our mission
We believe freelancers and studios deserve simple tools.
A solo editor or a producer with a team — you're juggling clients, edits, deadlines, files, and budgets all at once. We built Basalt so work stops living across chats, spreadsheets, and a dozen disconnected tools.
Our vision
The future of production management
We're building a platform that will become the standard for project management in video production — from the solo editor to a growing studio. Not another universal task manager, but a tool that speaks the language of production: scenes, shifts, editing, and deliverables.
Sound familiar?
Freelancers, producers, and post-production leads run into these every single week
Project chaos
Tasks in WhatsApp, files in Google Drive, deadlines in your head. Information scattered across dozens of places — and nobody (including you) knows the actual project status.
Missed deadlines
Without a unified tracking system, deadlines slip away. Tasks get forgotten, priorities get mixed up, and you find out about overdue milestones when it's already too late.
Clients left in the dark
Clients keep calling and messaging: 'How's my project going?' You have no easy way to show progress — so you spend time on reports instead of actual work.
How Basalt solves this
Every feature is built from real workflows — solo editor and studio alike
Order instead of chaos
All projects, tasks, and files in one place. You — and your team, if you have one — always see tasks, deadlines, and priorities. No more 'I didn't know about that'.
Deadline control
Visual project statuses, automatic notifications for approaching deadlines, and clear ownership. You always know what's happening.
Client portal
Clients get their own portal where they see project progress in real time. Fewer calls, more trust, a professional image.
Key features
Tools that freelancers and studios actually need
Project management
Kanban boards, statuses, deadlines, priorities. Track every project from brief to final delivery.
Team coordination
Flexible roles and access control: owner, admin, manager, editor. Going solo? Just ignore it — Basalt already runs as a one-person operation.
Client portal
A separate interface for your clients. They see project status, leave comments, and approve work — no endless back-and-forth.
Smart notifications
Alerts for important events: status changes, approaching deadlines, new client comments.
Financial tracking
Project budgets, expenses, and revenue. Understand the profitability of every project without spreadsheets.
Notes & documents
Built-in rich-text editor for briefs, scripts, meeting notes — all linked to the project.

Our principles
Simplicity
No unnecessary features. Only what you actually need to get work done. The best tool is the one that doesn't need a manual.
Production focus
We don't try to be everything for everyone. Basalt is tailored for freelancers and video studios — and does that job better than universal project tools.
Transparency
Transparency within the team, transparency for clients. When everyone sees the same picture — work moves faster and without conflicts.
A note from the founder
A studio doesn't lose hours to editing — it loses them answering 'when's the deadline?' and 'who's on this?'. Basalt exists so those questions stop being asked.
I spent years inside video production — caught between client revisions, deadlines, and a dozen disconnected spreadsheets. Basalt grew out of that experience: a tool that strips away the operational noise and leaves what matters — making films. Solo or with a team — the system shouldn't be in your way.
