Contracts & e-sign

Lock in the deal, on paper.

Draft contracts from reusable templates, get them signed in the browser and keep the agreement linked to the work that follows. When the contract comes from the client, Risk Reader helps you review it before you sign.

The gap

Every horror story starts the same way.

Scope changes. Payment terms get missed. A client sends over their own agreement and you sign it without catching the clause that matters.

Worklyn gives every engagement a written record of what was agreed, then keeps that record linked to the client, the proposal it came from and the invoices drafted after it.

01Contract Risk Reader

Upload a contract a client sent you and get a plain-language review of the clauses worth a second look.

02Reusable templates

Start from 25 or more built-in agreements, or save your own layout to reuse on paid plans.

03AI-generated clauses

Describe the clause you need in plain English and start from a draft you can review and edit.

04Signed, then linked

Get the agreement signed in the browser, then draft the invoice from it in one click.

Both directions

Contracts go both ways. Worklyn covers both.

01Start from what you already agreed.

Pick a template or start from an accepted proposal. The client, the pricing total, the currency and the project name land in the draft, and the proposal's scope arrives as an editable Scope of Work section.

01Smart variables

Fields like the client name and your business details fill in from the records already in Worklyn.

02Draft clauses when needed

Describe what you need in plain English and review the generated clause before adding it. It leaves placeholders rather than inventing numbers.

Available on the free plan, within your monthly AI allowance.

03Sign in the browser

Send one link. The client types their name without creating an account, and both sides get a receipt.

02Review before you sign.

Upload the contract a client sent you and Risk Reader reads it clause by clause, in plain language.

Upload a PDF or a text file to your vault to run a review.

01Find the clauses that matter

Payment terms, revisions and scope, IP ownership, non-compete, liability, termination, confidentiality and governing law.

02Understand why they matter

Each flag explains the clause in plain language and what it could mean for the engagement.

03Go in prepared

Every flag comes with one concrete ask you can raise before signing.

Risk Reader also lists what already looks fair, and gives the contract an overall risk level. It is on paid plans.

The chain

The contract stays with the record.

In most tools a signed contract becomes a PDF in a folder. In Worklyn it stays attached to the client, to the proposal it came from and to every invoice drafted from it, so the whole chain is one traceable record.

When a client signs, Worklyn records the name they typed, the moment they typed it and the IP address it came from, then takes a SHA-256 fingerprint of the exact document those details were attached to. Both sides get that fingerprint by email, with the signed PDF. From then on the contract is sealed: it cannot be edited, only duplicated into a fresh unsigned draft. Re-run the check later and it either still matches the fingerprint in the email, or the document changed.

The limits

Contracts help document the deal. They are not legal advice.

Worklyn can help you draft, review and organize everyday business agreements, but it is not a law firm. For unusual, regulated or high-value agreements, have a qualified lawyer review the contract.
