Log a Payment in 5 Seconds Flat
No forms, no invoicing software. Type, pick income, enter amount, done.
Most freelancers don't track income because it feels like a chore. You need to open an invoicing tool, create a record, fill in fields, maybe send an invoice. By the time you're done, you've lost your flow.
The fastest way to log money
In Backlog, logging a payment is the same as creating any entry:
- Type: "March retainer — Acme"
- Pick: income
- Amount: 2,500
- Client: Acme Studio
- Hit: Create
Five seconds. Done. It shows up in your 12-month grid, in the client's profile, and in your timeline. Fully logged, searchable, and permanent.
Not an invoicing tool
Backlog doesn't send invoices. It records the truth: money came in, money went out. It's your financial memory, not your accounting software. Use it alongside whatever invoicing tool you prefer.
This is what Backlog does.
One workspace for your entire freelance business. Join the waitlist.
