Solo, a beautiful new app for freelance designers — the app is intended for use in the design community, so the attention to details such as color, typography, animations and texture couldn’t have been used on a better project.

Solo is a project management application for designers of all stripes, both traditional and digital. Right now, designers can try it free for 10 days; afterward, it costs $5 per month.

The experience starts with a dashboard, a snapshot of all the projects, clients and deadlines you’re juggling at the moment. From this big-picture view, you can zoom in on timesheets, invoices, client contacts, and your own personal journal.

Perhaps best of all, the app is really, really pretty. When viewed at full-size, the pages show a stunning depth of nuance rarely seen in web apps. You’ll need to sign up for yourself to get a true feel for the app’s UI, but you can take a look at these sample screenshots to get a rough idea.

The app is still in a very early stage, hence the low introductory price. You’re likely to find a couple bugs lurking here and there in the software; and many features, such as client logins, document uploads, messaging and design blog feeds are still “coming soon.” Still, it’s definitely worth a try while it’s fresh.
