Spreadsheets drift
A self-built cash sheet starts as ten minutes of work, then grows formulas that only you understand. Every month you paste exports, fix broken references, and re-derive numbers you already calculated last month.
What is FlowingPulse?
See how long your money lasts — before it runs out
FlowingPulse is a cashflow dashboard for solo founders and freelancers. Import one CSV from Stripe, Paddle, Gumroad or your bank export, and it turns raw transactions into burn rate, runway months, a tax buffer and scheduled reports. One payment, lifetime access.
The problem it solves
If you work alone, nobody hands you a cash picture. You either rebuild a spreadsheet every month, pay a monthly fee for software built for accountants, or simply don't know your numbers until rent is due.
Subscriptions overcharge the solo case
Bookkeeping platforms price for double-entry ledgers, payroll and multi-user permissions. If your real question is "how many months of cash do I have left?", you're paying a yearly subscription for a dashboard widget.
Runway stays invisible
The most dangerous number in a solo business is the one nobody shows you: the month your balance turns negative. Without a forecast, you find out after it happens.
How it works
1Import one CSV
Drop in a transactions export from Stripe, Paddle, Gumroad or your bank. Imports are categorised automatically, and you can correct anything — every change is undoable.
2Read your numbers instantly
The dashboard shows burn rate, runway in months, tax set-aside, recurring spend, and a budget bar that turns amber at 70% and red the moment you overshoot.
3Get reports without opening the app
On the day you choose, a weekly and monthly report lands in your inbox — and up to five other recipients — with burn, runway and biggest movers in plain language.
What you get
- Burn rate and runway months, always on screen
- Interactive spending charts and category breakdown
- Budget overview with overspend alerts
- Tax buffer modelling for set-asides
- Weekly and monthly report emails
- CSV import and export — your data is never locked in

Who it is for
✓ Who it is for
Solo founders, freelancers and indie makers who earn from a handful of sources (Stripe, Paddle, Gumroad, invoices), want to know their runway at a glance, and refuse to pay a monthly fee to see it.
✗ Who it's not for
Teams that need double-entry bookkeeping, invoicing, payroll or accountant-ready ledgers — a full accounting platform is the better tool for that job, and we'll say so.
Your numbers never leave your device
CSV parsing and every calculation happen locally in your browser. We never see, store or upload your financial data — the only thing on our servers is your account email for sign-in and reports.
Ready to see your runway?
One payment of $19 unlocks the dashboard for life. No subscription, no seats, no renewal — and you can export everything and leave anytime.
