Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I already use accounting software for the day-to-day stuff, but every time I needed to answer one specific question — "how much money do I need to have by when?" — I ended up building the same messy Excel file over and over. It worked, but it was tedious, and I kept thinking there had to be a simpler way. So I built NeedAhead: enter your current balance and a flat list of upcoming expenses with due dates, and it tells you exactly when — if ever — you'll run short. Check something off as paid and it's instantly out of the calculation. No categories, no budgets, nothing to configure — just the answer to that one question, saved so you don't have to rebuild it every time. Figured if it was useful for me, it'd probably be useful for other people doing the same Excel dance. It's free to try with no signup — your data just lives in the browser. If you want it saved across devices, one-click email sign-in and it's synced. Would love your feedback, especially if you try it and think something's missing or confusing. Thanks for checking it out! 🙏
