Here's my entry for the Anything challenge 😊
Finances — Freelancer Finance Manager
A personal finance web app built for freelancers to track income, expenses, cash flow, forecasting, and annual goals — all in one place.
What existed before the challenge:
The core app was built in early 2026, starting from a Google Sheets template. It included Dashboard, Income, Expenses, Cashflow, Forecasting, and Annual summary.
What was built or changed during the challenge:
Full email/password authentication with per-user data isolation
Multi-user support — new users start with empty data, existing data assigned to original account
Bank Excel import in Clashflow — reads bank export format (DD-MMM-YY dates, European number format), auto-creates matching Income/Expense records
Dynamic expense categories — users can add/remove categories, synced across the expenses page
Inline cell editing across Ingresos, Gastos, and Flujo de Caja — tap any cell to edit
Multi-row delete with checkbox selection
Dashboard month/year selector — filter all KPIs and charts by any period
expenses per category donut chart with legend
Profile photo upload and user email display in sidebar
Language toggle (Spanish/English US) persisted per user
Deletion propagation — deleting a clashflow row removes the linked Income/Expense record
Built entirely with Anything. Live at: https://finances.created.app
Thanks Nagaraj! I have been using it internally from early 2026 and it replaced all my financial subscriptions
This is really useful!
Thanks, Mahreen. Yees, I think so :)

Thankss Oleksandra! I've been using it internally and it's very handful
Indeed. Thanks for your insights, very helpful. That's why I built it. Most tools out there assumes you're a startup or a company. Glad you find it interesting and helpful. 🙌

The brief-writing piece is interesting — curious how you handle the validation step. AI-generated language tends to sound confident even when the underlying data is sparse or the trend is ambiguous. One pattern that helps: have the model output a confidence signal alongside the...
Problem: Barbershop taking bookings on Instagram DM, no-shows 40%, no client history, manual payment tracking.
What I built:
→ Client booking website - pick barber, service, time slot, pay deposit
→ Automatic SMS/WhatsApp reminders to reduce no-shows
→ CRM dashboard - client history, favorite cuts, lifetime spend, retention
→ Admin panel - barber schedules, daily sales, payouts
→ Stripe , secure payments & auto receipt.
Result: Bookings 24/7 without DM, no-shows dropped to 5%, owner sees revenue from phone.
Great work 🔥
As a freelancer, keeping everything that runs your business organized gets harder as the business grows. Money coming in and going out, client details, project files, new leads, job applications. It adds up fast, and it gets overwhelming.
So I built Rendr, a personal AI-powered macOS app that keeps my whole business in one place, so I spend less time managing and more time designing.
What it does:
• Command Center: a daily briefing of what needs my attention, and why
• Pipeline: tracks leads from first contact to signed work, with AI-drafted proposals and follow-ups
• Clients: every client's history, files and notes in one hub
• Money: payments, open invoices and payouts, synced from Contra
• Job search: Contra jobs plus open job boards, matched to my skills and rate
• Applications: tailored resumes, cover letters and pitches, written only from my real experience
• Site audits: reviews a prospect's website and turns the findings into a pitch email in one click
• Work library: tagged portfolio files, with the best samples suggested for each pitch
• Backups: automatic, every day, to Dropbox
It runs on my Mac, and it never sends an email, invoice or message on its own. I review everything first.
Still building, with more to come.
Looks amazing..is it a native app ?
