Every dollar your side hustle makes, tracked without the spreadsheet guilt. If your income does not fit on a single W-2 — a few freelance projects, a gig app on weekends, an Etsy shop, a spare room rented out, tutoring after work — Side Hustle Income Tracker is the calm place to keep it. It is a private freelance tracker built for the solo earner whose business is a few apps and a notebook, not a small company with payroll. The philosophy is simple: an income tracker should help you see how your hustle income is really doing, not hand your bank statements to a third party. There are no bank logins, no cloud account, no third-party server reading your payouts. Every entry, every client and every receipt stays on this device. It is built for self employed contractors, freelancers, gig workers, Etsy sellers, tutors, rideshare drivers and anyone juggling 1099 income across more than one stream. Every feature described below is unlocked only with an auto-renewable subscription purchased inside the app. New users receive a 3 day free trial; you may cancel anytime during the trial to avoid being charged. Log entries in seconds with amount, date, client, hours and notes across unlimited streams of gig income, project work and freelance income. Multi-currency with live FX handles foreign clients and travel work, an estimated tax set-aside quietly reserves a percentage of each payment so April does not become a panic, and a built-in mileage tracker captures drives to client sites, deliveries and gig pickups. Expense tracking attaches to each stream so net income, not just gross, is visible at a glance. Monthly and yearly dashboards make the picture clear, and Home Screen, Lock Screen and StandBy widgets keep this month's earnings glanceable from any screen. A clean CSV export hands your accountant a breakdown ready for Schedule C. This work hours tracker handles the edges of freelance finance that other apps ignore. Recurring income templates fill in the retainer clients you bill monthly without retyping, while one-off projects stay easy to drop in. Hourly clients get a rate-and-hours mode that totals fees automatically, fixed-fee clients get a project tracker that compares estimated to actual hours, and platform fees from Etsy or rideshare apps can be deducted at source so the number you see is the number you keep. A simple stream comparison shows which contractor income line is actually paying and which one keeps eating evenings for a tenth of the rent. The interface ships in 39 languages with VoiceOver accessibility, Dynamic Type and high-contrast support. Everything works offline, including the mileage log, widgets and reports, so you can log a drive on the road and a payment in a coffee shop without signal. There is no marketing email, no analytics framework and no behavioural profile sold on. Whether you treat it as a freelance app, a gig tracker, an independent contractor finance log or a quiet expense tracker, your money story stays yours. Unlock with Pro: • Unlimited streams (free tier: up to 3) and unlimited entries • Advanced analytics — trend lines, best month, stream comparison • All widgets, themes and StandBy layouts • Mileage and expense tracking with recurring income templates • CSV export with tax breakdown ready for Schedule C Subscription Pricing & Terms Features require a subscription.
