Simple Cash Flow Forecasting for Freelancers and Small Businesses
If you freelance, run a side business, or just want to know whether you’ll be fine next month, you’ve probably done the spreadsheet dance: list out your subscriptions, add up your invoices, squint at the numbers, and hope you didn’t miss anything.
I built Forecastly because I was tired of the spreadsheet dance.
What Forecastly does
Forecastly is a cash-flow forecasting app that tracks your recurring income and expenses and shows you where your balance is headed. No bank connections, no data syncing — just a clean list of what’s coming in and going out.
- Recurring items — Add your subscriptions, rent, invoices, and paychecks with their frequency (weekly, biweekly, monthly, yearly, custom)
- Cash-flow timeline — See your projected balance day by day, weeks or months into the future
- Spending insights — Understand where your money goes by category
- Fast UI — Built to feel instant, not like a banking app from 2012
Who it’s for
- Freelancers who invoice irregularly and need to see if they’ll cover next month’s rent
- Side hustlers tracking subscription costs against revenue
- Anyone who wants a forward-looking view of their finances without connecting bank accounts
The tech
Forecastly runs on React + TypeScript with a lightweight backend. Payments are handled by Stripe.
It’s available as a web app and on the App Store. You can also learn more on the Forecastly app page.
