Get Paid

Freelance invoices go late constantly, and most of them are late because nobody's tracking them. These are the tools for the getting-paid half of the job: an invoice register that shows at a glance who owes you what and how overdue they are, chase-email templates that stay polite through the third reminder, and a payment log that reconciles against your bank without connecting to it.

Nothing here integrates with your accounting software, because you don't have accounting software. It's a sheet you open on a Friday afternoon, sort by days overdue, and work down until it's empty. The reason tracking invoices in a real system gets you paid faster than tracking them in your memory is unglamorous: you actually send the second reminder.
