For freelancers and small businesses that send invoices and then wait. If you keep a list of who owes you what in a spreadsheet or in your head, and payroll, rent or suppliers depend on that money arriving, this tool turns the list into a plan for today. It works on its own: no accounting software, bank or marketplace connection is needed.

Why this and not an aging spreadsheet: besides aging buckets, you get today's collection queue in a fixed, visible order with the reason for every invoice, disputes in a separate queue, the unpaid invoices that would cover your cash gap by a given date, and the present value of waiting, a discount for paying now or instalments at your own cost of money. Six letter templates use known facts only and are never sent for you. One payment, no subscription; no bank, accounting or marketplace connection; your data stays on your device; no AI — every result is an exact decimal calculation with “How it is calculated”, in 8 languages and any currency.

You enter your invoices (or import them from CSV or XLSX), the payments and credit notes you have actually received, any payment promises and disputed amounts, the contacts you have had, the cash you have today, the reserve you want to keep and the bills your business must pay. For one invoice you can also enter the options you are weighing: full payment later, a discount for paying now, or instalments, with your own annual cost of money.

You get each invoice's balance and status worked out from the numbers, days overdue and aging buckets, a collection queue in a fixed, visible order, a separate dispute queue, the day your cash would fall below the reserve and which unpaid invoices would cover that gap, and the present value of each recovery option. Six letter templates are filled with known facts only, ready to copy, print or open as an email draft — nothing is sent for you. No AI — exact, traceable calculations. One-time payment, works on phone and computer, and your data stays on your device.

What's inside

Balances and statuses from the numbersBalance = amount − credit notes − confirmed payments. Not due, overdue, promise, dispute, partly paid, closed and overpaid are derived from the balance and dates, never set by hand.
Days overdue and agingDays overdue counted from your calculation date, open balances grouped into not overdue, 1–30, 31–60, 61–90 and over 90 days, with a chart and its data table.
Collection queue for todayA fixed six-step order: missed promise, scheduled action due, overdue undisputed balance, larger balance, more days overdue, earlier record — with the reason shown for every invoice.
Separate dispute queueDisputed amounts are kept out of payment chasing; the undisputed part of the same invoice stays in the main queue.
Promises as an expected scenarioPromised payments are tracked as kept, missed or expected. They appear in a separate cash line and are never counted as money received.
Cash gap against your obligationsCash after each bill against your minimum reserve, the shortfall on every date, and the unpaid invoices that would cover the gap if received by that date.
Discount vs waiting vs instalmentsPresent value of each option at your own cost of money after collection costs, the cost of waiting, and the break-even discount. Your own probability can be added only as a separate scenario.
Six letter templates in 8 languagesReminder before due, first and repeat reminders, promise check, instalment offer and dispute clarification — facts only, no penalties or threats, with a mailto link for an email draft.
Statement of account and collection planA per-client statement for your clients and an internal collection plan with contact history, as PDF in A4 or US Letter.
Import, scenarios and backupsImport invoices, payments, contacts and bills from CSV or XLSX, compare Current with Variants A and B, export CSV and JSON backups.

Questions

Does it send reminders or emails for me?

No. Each letter is a document you read first, then copy, print to PDF or open as a draft in your own email app. Contact history changes only when you add an entry after a contact has really happened.

Does it tell me how likely a client is to pay?

No. It never estimates a probability from invoice age or anything else. If you want to, you can enter your own probability for each recovery option; it is shown as your assumption in a separate column.

What does it not calculate?

Late-payment interest, fees or penalties, the legal position of a claim or dispute, VAT, sales tax or income tax, exchange gains and losses on receipt, and any prediction of whether or when a client will pay.

Can I use invoices in different currencies?

Yes. Each project has one currency; for an invoice in another currency you enter the rate and rate date. Letters and statements show the amounts in the currency the client was invoiced in.

Can I try it first?

Yes. The demo opens with a fictional business and invoices; every screen, letter, document and calculation works, and you can change any value. Your own projects and file import open after purchase.

Where is my data kept?

In your browser on your own device. Nothing about your clients or invoices is sent to TidyCents. Download a JSON backup to move a project to another device.

Business license for use in your own business. No resale or redistribution. Opens in your browser right after payment, on phone and computer. Your figures stay on your device. No physical item.
