Gig Hunt

Gig Hunt is a subscription web app for freelancers who are tired of hunting for work. This freelance gig platform crawls job boards, social feeds, and community posts, filters what it finds by your chosen categories and location, and delivers a daily "Gigmail" with the newest opportunities from the past 24 hours.

The pitch is simple: clients post work in dozens of places, and most freelancers see only a fraction of it. Gig Hunt tries to be the safety net, so you open one email instead of five tabs. Founders Lucas and Ylze built it from their own freelancing pain, and the team reports that more than 5,500 freelancers have used it to land gigs.

It is not a marketplace. Gig Hunt does not sit between you and the client and does not take a cut of your fee. When a listing looks good, you click through to the original post and contact the client directly.

The main catch is the paywall. You can get free daily Gigmails, but unlocking the full details of most gigs requires a paid subscription. The free tier shows you enough to know a gig exists, not always enough to apply.

Getting Started

1. Sign up with your email and pick your gig location, whether that is remote, hybrid, or on-site.
2. Choose the categories you want to track, such as development, design, writing, or marketing.
3. Wait for your daily Gigmail, which lands in your inbox and inside your dashboard with the newest gigs from the last 24 hours.
4. Open a gig you like and click through to the original posting to see the full brief.
5. Contact the client directly by their preferred channel and manage the application your own way.
