Built for irregular income
If your paycheck is never the same twice, this is for you.
FortuneTell is built for people who think in weeks and gigs, not monthly budgets. It's designed for the exact problems 80+ freelancers, gig workers, and solopreneurs told us about.
WHY MOST BUDGET APPS FAIL HERE
Why traditional budgeting tools break with irregular income
- • Monthly-first budgets assume predictable pay. Irregular income doesn’t follow calendar months.
- • Spending trackers show history. They don’t project your future balance.
- • Spreadsheets can work, but only with constant manual recalculation.
FortuneTell answers one question: will I run out of money — before it happens.
Core features
See problems before they happen.
Every screen answers one question: "Will I run out of money?" The answer is a number (days), not advice or categories.
Days of cash remaining
Stop guessing if you'll make it to Friday. See the exact day your balance hits zero if nothing changes, and watch that day shift as you adjust your plan.
Future gigs and invoices
Add work the moment it's planned, not when it pays. See how each job, invoice, or shift changes your runway so you know whether to take more work or rest.
Weekly, not just monthly
Most cash crises happen inside the month, not at the end. FortuneTell shows week by week so you see tight weeks coming and can adjust before they hit.
Privacy first
Your financial data stays under your control.
FortuneTell is designed to work without connecting to your bank or financial accounts. You enter only what you choose, and the app functions without requiring data sharing.
FortuneTell is manual-entry-first by design. No bank connection is required.
- • Free plan: budget data stays on your device (account email stored for login)
- • No in-app tracking or analytics inside the application itself
- • No selling or sharing of personal financial data
- • Manual export and restore are supported so you control backups
FortuneTell does not depend on surveillance, data brokerage, or behavioral tracking to function.
Accessibility
Designed for clarity and usability.
- • High-contrast interface for readability
- • Clear visual hierarchy so key numbers stand out immediately
- • Plain language labels instead of technical or financial jargon
- • Keyboard- and screen-reader-compatible layouts where supported
- • Consistent navigation and predictable structure across screens
Accessibility in FortuneTell focuses on reducing cognitive load and making core financial information easier to perceive, understand, and act on.
