Overview
1099 Buddy is a powerful yet simple mobile app designed to help freelancers and independent contractors take control of their finances. With seamless income and expense tracking, invoice management, and real-time insights, 1099 Buddy makes tax season stress-free and financial planning effortless.
How It Started
For the past 3 years, I've been working as a freelancer/contractor doing all sorts of work. In the beginning, I used a spreadsheet to track my income and expenses, but it quickly became too cumbersome to manage. When tax season rolled around, I realized I needed a more efficient way to keep track of my finances, so I looked at my options.
I scrolled through dozens of apps, but I couldn't find one that wasn't locked behind a subscription or had a clunky interface. I also didn't find a solution that focused on the specific needs of freelancers and contractors.
So, I decided to create my own. I wanted to create an app that followed my values as a developer: simplicity, efficiency, and clarity. My goal was to create a tool for 1099 freelancers/contractors like me that would make tax season stress-free and financial tracking effortless.
How It's Going
1099Buddy is currently available on the iOS App Store! I'm currently working on adding more feature such as exporting a csv file with all of your data at the end of the year and improving the app based on feedback from users.
