Tallyhive invoicing

Invoicing for freelancers who hate admin. I mapped how people actually chase payments, then redesigned the invoice list around what needs attention today.

The problem

Freelancers were creating invoices elsewhere and only using Tallyhive to track them. The list showed everything with equal weight, so overdue work got lost.

What I changed

I rebuilt the list around three states: overdue, due soon, and draft. Creating an invoice now starts from the last one you sent to that client.

Reminders without awkwardness

Friendly reminders go out on a schedule the freelancer chooses once, so nobody has to write an uncomfortable follow-up by hand.

What I learned. Freelancers didn’t need more invoice options. They needed to see, at a glance, which clients still owed them money.

What happened

More invoices were created inside the product, and late payments became easier to spot and chase.
