Hi Product Hunt! After 16 years of being self-employed and having an itch for productivity apps I think I’ve pretty much seen them all. The #1 thing that always bothered me is how much time is spent using those apps and how inefficient they are or how they are always made for (preferably large) teams (as that’s where the $$$ is). “When I became a freelance designer, I wasn't aware that apart from my job as a designer I have to spend half of my time managing a business. I’m a designer, not a manager. Most software that should help actually introduces complexity, rather than taking it away from me.” That’s what I hear from tons of friends and colleagues from the creative industries all the time. And it’s true: If it takes 15 clicks to get stuff done it’s just shifting complexity from one problem to another. So I thought: What if? · What if instead of guessing how long things take me – I decided what kind of work on my laptop belongs to which project up front and then it tracks automatically how long I have worked for a project without pressing a button? · What if instead of opening up 6 old proposals and copying stuff over – my proposals were made up of blocks in the first place and I can search for them directly when creating a new one? · What if instead of guessing (and sometimes forgetting) I could the see the health (budget/time) of all of my projects on a single screen? · What if organizing the workload of the next couple of days meant just dragging tasks I should do next over to a certain day? · What if instead of manually looking through emails, paper notes, notion docs, wetransfer links, etc… to find what you agreed on 3 months ago – you had a clear, searchable single-source-of-truth? · What if instead of EITHER having beautifully custom (manual) Invoices from InDesign OR benefitting from automation – we could just have both? · What if the software tells me if something needs to be done and not the other way around, like if I worked enough for a client to send out a new invoice? · And most importantly – what if all of this was available in a singular house where these domains can interact with and inform each other and are not spread across 6 different apps? That’s what eventually became Fugoya. A thoughtfully designed desktop app, focused around actually making you productive. You can try it right away for free as long as you want (I hate time-based trials, what if I don’t have enough time to test it within 2 weeks?). The only catch? Well, if you're actively using it to run your business and make money, we kindly ask you to consider a subscription. This means that all features have quantity limits that are sufficient for testing but not for running a full-fledged business, such as a limit of 5 invoices. I think that's only fair, right? As a thank-you for early support, all early access subscribers get their price plans frozen, meaning that you will never experience a price increase, which will happen once we’re out of our early access phase. Over the last three years I poured my heart and soul into this product, hoping to improve the status quo on actually, actually, actually productive software. It’s 100% bootstrapped, no hidden agenda, no rush to an exit, very honest software really designed to make a difference. And I’m hoping it can do that for you too!

Extremely feature-rich! You must have put in a tremendous amount of effort! BTW, I love the logo - was it created by AI? 🤣

@bonvisions thanks! the logo resembles a generic list of things in an obvious shape of an F and actually quite overengineered as it's rendered in cinema4d with redshift with a full frontal camera, so no AI involved 🤷🏻‍♂️

Congratulations Team Fugoya on your magnificent launch on Producthunt! The all-in-one freelance toolkit sounds like a game-changer. A suggestion though: Given the nature of freelancing and how dynamics change, it would be great to incorporate a feature for varying tax regulations in different countries. Keep up the good work!

@manmohit thanks Manmohit! Within the app, in Settings > Financials you can customize your taxes. On Invoices you have the flexibility to choose taxes per budget item, meaning that for complex scenarios where some items require less tax than others you're fully flexible. Fugoya also supports all major (non-crypto) currencies and you can choose currencies on invoice-level, meaning you can send invoices in different currencies to different clients around the globe. For some overview stats (like the planning view) we then actually convert these to your home-currency to have a proper single sum ✨

Congrats on launching Fugoya! I think it would be great if Fugoya could integrate with some popular accounting software. This could make the financial side of freelancing even smoother and more efficient.

@ouyangke thanks Ouyang! I agree, The financial part is definitely the biggest blind spot at launch, mostly due to the complex nature of how different it is to be handled in every country on this lovely planet. I have a strict policy that if it doesn't really save you time it has no business of existing, that's why there is eg. no "expense tracking" that is actually pretty much just an editable table in disguise (like others do). The reason there is no integration yet is that there's already some concept and early designs cooking on how to handle it within Fugoya, it's also already on the roadmap (https://fugoya.com/roadmap). But again, I fully agree with you – if it's not feasible in time, integrations are the way to go! 🙂
