Every payment sits on the day it actually arrived. Height is the amount. Colour is the payer. Drag across the year for your running total on any date. The faded ticks past today are projected from your own cadence.

Every other tool is built to find your deductions. Hatchly is built to show your income.

The whole category decided freelancers lose money on the deduction side, so everyone built expense trackers, mileage logs, and receipt scanners. Nobody built the thing that tells you what came in.

Answers

Four questions a pay stub answers and a 1099 does not.

How much have I made this year?

A running total from the first of January, built from the day each payment landed rather than the day you got around to recording it.

Who is my biggest client?

Payers ranked by what they actually paid you, with the ones that have quietly stopped calling flagged before you notice on your own.

Am I ahead of last year?

This year against last year, month by month, in one view. Not a percentage in isolation. The shape of both years, side by side.

What will I owe?

A reserve target that moves as your income moves, measured against what you have actually set aside, on the real IRS periods.

The Screen

Open it and the answer is already there.

No setup wizard, no chart builder, no blank state waiting on you. The year you have had so far, what you still owe on it, and the client who has gone quiet, on one screen.

Sample data. The interface is live, not a screenshot.

The Work

Built for money that shows up in pieces.

Quick Capture

Paste it. Hatchly files it.

Type it the way you would say it, or paste a row straight out of your bank. Hatchly reads the payer, the amount, and the date, and learns the descriptors you get paid under so it recognises them next time.

Income Matrix

Every payer by every month, on one grid.

Payers down the side, months across the top, the busy cells tinted so your year has a shape you can read at a glance. Click any cell for the payments inside it. Copy the whole grid out as a table.

Tax Reserve

Know the number before it is due.

What you should have set aside, what you have set aside, and the gap between the two. Calculated from net profit after expenses, and dated to the real IRS quarters, which are not the calendar quarters.

Origin

Thirteen years in one spreadsheet.

One tab per year. One row per payment. Venue checks, Venmo, and cash in the same ledger. It worked. It answered every question anyone could ask about that money, and it took thirteen years of discipline to keep it honest.

Hatchly is that ledger without the discipline. The spreadsheet is the mental model, not the interaction.

Limits

Hatchly informs and prepares. It does not pretend.

  • It does not file your taxes.
  • It does not run payroll or send invoices.
  • It does not do double entry bookkeeping.
  • It does not give you financial advice.

It tells you when you are ready for a professional. It does not become one.

Your side hustle deserves main character energy.

If your income arrives in pieces and you have never been able to total it, you are exactly who this is for.
