Features
Every tool built around the gaps between projects
Birchoryn brings structure to irregular income — forecasting, tracking, and planning tools designed specifically for freelancers and independent professionals.
Overview
A feature set shaped by real project cycles
Rather than generic budgeting tools, Birchoryn is built around the specific rhythm of freelance work — inconsistent invoicing, staggered payments, and the periods of uncertainty in between. Each feature addresses a distinct part of that cycle.
Income pattern forecasting
Birchoryn analyses your historical income entries to project likely cash positions weeks ahead. Instead of reacting to a low balance, you see it forming early enough to plan around it — whether that means adjusting spending, chasing an invoice, or lining up new work.
Gap-period planning
The tool identifies stretches of time between confirmed income where cash is likely to run thin, and surfaces them well in advance. This gives you a clear window to prepare — rather than discovering the shortfall once it has already arrived.
Reserve allocation guidance
When income arrives, Birchoryn suggests how much might reasonably be set aside based on your upcoming obligations and forecasted gaps. It's a starting point for decision-making, not an automated transfer — the choice always stays with you.
Multi-source income tracking
Freelance income rarely comes from one place. Birchoryn lets you log and organise income across multiple clients or platforms, giving you a single consolidated view instead of piecing together several spreadsheets or apps.
Scenario comparison
Considering a slower month, a new client, or a planned break from work? Run a simple comparison to see how each scenario might affect your projected cash position, so decisions are made with visibility rather than guesswork.
Plain-language reporting
Forecasts and summaries are presented in straightforward terms, not dense financial jargon. The goal is that anyone using Birchoryn, regardless of financial background, can read a report and understand what it means for their next move.
Built for continuity
Designed to work quietly in the background
Birchoryn isn't meant to demand constant attention. Once your income entries and recurring obligations are set up, the forecasting runs continuously, updating projections as new data comes in.
You check in when it's useful — before a big decision, at the start of a slow month, or when planning ahead — rather than needing to manage the tool itself as another task on your list.
That balance between depth and simplicity is central to how every feature is built: enough insight to be genuinely useful, without adding friction to an already busy freelance schedule.
How it fits together
From raw data to a clear forecast
The features above work together in a simple sequence. Here's how the pieces connect in practice.
Log your income and costs
Add income entries and recurring costs as they occur, or in batches. The more consistent the data, the sharper the forecast becomes over time.
Review the forecast
Birchoryn processes your entries into a rolling projection, highlighting upcoming gaps and periods worth watching closely.
Plan and adjust
Use the reserve guidance and scenario tools to decide how to respond — then keep logging as work continues, refining the picture as you go.
