This is a bit of a “scratching my own itch” story.

I’ve been freelancing as a developer for a few years, and for the longest time my workflow looked like this: Notion for project tracking, Wave for invoices, a Google Sheet for cash flow, and Calendar for everything else. It worked — until it didn’t. The breaking point was losing track of an invoice during a client call because I had four tabs open and couldn’t remember which spreadsheet had the right numbers.

So I spent the last year building Maggo — an iOS app that ties all of it together in one place:

∙	Project and task tracking

∙	Invoice creation and sending

∙	Real-time cash flow overview

∙	A built-in AI assistant that knows your business numbers (not just generic financial advice)

The goal was dead simple: one place to run the operational side of freelancing, without the context-switching tax.

It’s free to download. I’m not asking for testers or feedback forms — just putting it out there for anyone who’s felt the same pain.

Curious — what’s the part of running your freelance business that still feels like duct tape and hope?

So I spent the last year building Maggo — a single iOS app that ties together projects, invoices, and cash flow, with a built-in AI assistant that actually knows your numbers (not just generic advice).

It's free to download. I'd genuinely love feedback — especially from other freelancers or small business owners.

Honestly didn't plan to build this. I was running a small contracting business and at some point I counted — I had 5 different apps open just to do basic work. Notion for tasks, Wave for invoices, a spreadsheet for cash flow, Calendar for everything else.

One day I was on a client call and couldn't remember what I charged them last time. Put them on hold, dug through Wave, found it. 45 seconds of awkward silence. That was it for me.

Built Maggo over the past year. It's an iPhone app that pulls projects, invoices, and cash flow into one place. There's also an AI assistant built in — not the generic kind, one that actually knows your numbers and can answer things like "which client owes me the most" or "how does this month compare to last."

It's free. Just went live today.

I'd love honest feedback more than anything — what's confusing, what's missing, what would make you actually switch from whatever you're using now. I'm building this mostly solo so real input actually changes what I work on next.

I’ve been freelancing for a few years and the workflow was always the same mess — projects in Notion, invoices in some Google Sheet I kept meaning to clean up, expenses scattered across emails, and zero real sense of cash flow until something went wrong. I tried combining tools. Never stuck. So I just started building something myself. Maggo is a business management app for freelancers and small business owners. Projects, invoices, expenses, and cash flow in one place. The design was important to me — I wanted something that actually felt good to open, not another dashboard that stresses you out. Shipped it a few weeks ago. Still early, still learning what people actually need from it. If you’re a freelancer or run a small operation and want to give it a spin, I’d genuinely appreciate the feedback — especially the brutal kind. App Store reviews help a lot at this stage too if you find it useful. https://apps.apple.com/app/id6748068683
