Reduce the stress of post-invoice reminders and collections

Cashly helps freelancers reduce the stress of post-invoice reminders and collection follow-up. Instead of trying to be a full accounting platform, Cashly focuses on what happens after an invoice is sent: setting reminder rules, registering invoices, sending reminders automatically, monitoring collection activity, and tracking incoming payments more clearly. Users can also start with a 14-day campaign trial.
Hi Product Hunt — I’m excited to share Cashly.
Cashly is built for freelancers who feel stressed after sending invoices, especially when they need to keep following up on unpaid invoices manually.
The problem I focused on is very specific: post-invoice reminders and collection work. After an invoice is sent, it becomes easy to lose track of who has paid, who needs a reminder, when to follow up next, and how all of that affects cashflow.
Cashly helps organize that workflow by letting users:
1. configure reminders first
2. register invoices next
3. reminders are sent automatically based on the reminder settings
4. monitor collection activity
5. understand incoming payment status and cashflow more clearly
Users can also get started during a 14-day campaign trial, so they can experience how Cashly reduces manual follow-up stress before committing.
My goal is to make post-invoice collection work feel less stressful and less manual for freelancers.
Cashly starts with PREMIUM, and users can upgrade to PREMIUM Connect after Stripe Connect setup is completed.
I’d love your feedback on:
- Is the core value immediately clear?
- Does the post-invoice stress reduction angle resonate?
- How do you currently handle reminders and collection follow-up after sending invoices?
Thanks for checking it out.
To answer your three questions directly.
Is the core value immediately clear — yes. Post-invoice stress is something every freelancer has felt and 'reduce the stress of chasing payments' is a message that lands without needing explanation.
Does the post-invoice stress reduction angle resonate — completely. The anxiety is not just about the money. It is about the uncertainty. Not knowing if the client saw the invoice, if they are ignoring it, if they have a problem with it, or if it just got buried in their inbox. That uncertainty is what makes following up feel so uncomfortable. You do not know what you are walking into.
How do I currently handle this — I built DocMetrics which sits one step before Cashly in the same workflow. DocMetrics tells you who opened your document, which pages they read, and how long they spent on each section. Cashly picks up after the invoice is sent and automates the follow-up. I have been thinking about this exact handoff point between knowing someone engaged with your proposal and then converting that into a paid invoice. The two problems are deeply connected for freelancers and consultants.
One honest piece of feedback — the step of configuring reminders before registering invoices feels backwards to how the stress actually hits. The stress arrives the moment you send the invoice not when you are setting up the system. I wonder if there is a way to capture someone in that moment of sending and set up reminders then rather than asking them to do configuration work upfront.
Congrats on launching something genuinely needed.
@dorrel
Thank you so much for the thoughtful feedback.
I also took a look at DocMetrics. I was especially impressed by the detailed features, such as page-level engagement tracking and watermarking. I could really feel the care you have put into real-world document workflows, and I thought it was excellent.
Your description of DocMetrics as one step before Cashly in the workflow really made sense to me. Understanding whether someone is engaged with a document and then turning that into a paid outcome feels like a deeply connected problem for freelancers.
Your point about reminder setup was also very helpful. Through your comment, I realized that the stress often appears at the exact moment an invoice is sent. That is a very important perspective, so I will think about how Cashly can make reminder setup feel more natural at that moment, instead of making it feel like upfront configuration work.
Thank you again for the valuable perspective, and I wish you great success with DocMetrics.
@takeshi_inoue Takeshi thank you for taking the time to actually look at DocMetrics. That means a great deal especially coming from someone who clearly thinks deeply about the workflow problems freelancers face. The connection between document engagement and invoice conversion is something I have been thinking about for a while and your reaction confirms it is a real insight worth exploring further. I would love to stay in touch as both products develop. Wishing Cashly every success.
