No easy way to track freelance client payments

I work with 8+ clients every month as a freelance developer. Currently using a messy Google Sheet to track: - Who paid vs who didn't - Payment due dates - Which invoices are overdue - Sending payment reminders The problem: I have to manually check my bank account, update the sheet, set calendar reminders, and copy-paste email templates. Takes 2+ hours per month. QuickBooks and FreshBooks are too expensive ($40+/month) and have features I don't need. Wave is free but clunky and slow. I just need: Upload invoice → Track status → Get reminded when overdue. That's it.

Difficult to track recurring manual tasks across projects

I work on multiple projects and often forget recurring manual tasks like renewals, backups, or reports. Calendar reminders are too generic, and task managers don’t handle recurring project-specific actions well.
