I Built a Financial Dashboard for Indie Devs and Digital Creators and It is Free

As a digital creator, indie hacker, freelancer, or digital nomad, your income can end up scattered across multiple platforms.

You might use:

  • Stripe for SaaS or freelance payments
  • RevenueCat for mobile app subscriptions
  • Gumroad for digital products
  • Stocks and crypto for investments
  • Separate apps for expenses, savings, and budgeting

At some point, you start asking:

How much am I actually making?

And more importantly:

What does my entire financial picture look like?

That was the problem I wanted to solve when I started building YoFi.


The Problem: Your Income Lives Everywhere

For a digital creator, a typical month might look something like this:

Platform Monthly Revenue
Stripe $3,200
RevenueCat $2,100
Gumroad $800
Total $6,100

But that isn't necessarily the full picture.

You might also have:

Financial Area Value
Cash & Savings $4,200
Stocks $18,500
Crypto $7,400
Monthly Expenses -$3,100

Now you're switching between multiple dashboards just to understand your own finances.

That's what felt wrong to me.


One Dashboard for Online Income

YoFi brings your online income into the same place as your personal finances.

Connect your creator platforms

Stripe

Track revenue from your SaaS, freelance work, or online business.

RevenueCat

Track subscription revenue from your mobile apps.

Gumroad

Track digital product sales and memberships.

Instead of checking three different dashboards every time you want to understand your revenue, you can see them together inside YoFi.


But Revenue Isn't Your Net Worth

This distinction is important.

Making $6,000 this month doesn't mean your net worth increased by $6,000.

You might also have:

  • Business expenses
  • Personal expenses
  • Investments
  • Savings
  • Crypto gains or losses
  • Other assets

So I wanted YoFi to go beyond revenue tracking.

The idea is:

Earn → Spend → Save → Invest → Track Net Worth

That means online income can sit alongside the rest of your financial picture instead of living in a completely separate dashboard.


Built for People Who Make Money Online

The first audience I had in mind wasn't traditional finance users.

It was people like:

  • Indie hackers
  • SaaS founders
  • App developers
  • Freelancers
  • Digital creators
  • Digital nomads

People whose income doesn't necessarily come from a single monthly paycheck.

Your money might come from Stripe this week, RevenueCat next week, and a Gumroad product sale tomorrow.

I wanted a financial app that understood that reality.

And It's Not Just Online Income

YoFi also includes the other parts of personal finance that usually live in separate apps:

Category What you can track
Expenses Daily spending
Budgets Category limits
Subscriptions Recurring payments
Savings Cash and savings goals
Stocks Investment portfolio
Crypto Digital assets
Net Worth Your overall financial position
Receipts OCR-based expense entry

It also supports 160+ fiat currencies, which makes the multi-currency side particularly useful for people who travel, work remotely, or earn money internationally.


Why I Built It

I didn't want to build another app that only answers:

"How much did I spend?"

I wanted something that could answer:

What am I earning?

What am I spending?

What do I own?

What is my net worth?

Where is my money coming from?

And ideally, answer all of those questions without requiring five different apps.


The Bigger Idea

The interesting part isn't really Stripe.

Or RevenueCat.

Or Gumroad.

The bigger idea is bringing different pieces of someone's financial life together.

This is a great example of turning a real problem into a practical product. Financial visibility is especially important for indie developers and creators because revenue can be unpredictable. Having a simple dashboard to track the numbers can make it much easier to decide what’s working and where to focus next.
