For freelancers, founders, and creators who never see a salary.

Built for income that swings.

One month, ₹3 lakh. Next month, ₹30,000.
Every money app assumes a paycheck you never get. We don’t.

We track what comes in. We lock away your tax. We show you how many months you can breathe.

Drag your month. Watch us split it.

Illustrative: ₹36L a year on presumptive tax, no TDS, a ₹80,000 salary. Estimate. Your CA confirms.

Be honest. You’ve blamed yourself.

It was never you.

Your income just refuses to sit still. Some months pour. Some months barely trickle. You make a plan once, then life happens, and the plan quietly breaks.

What every money app expects₹1.5L/ month

Same amount. Same date. Every month.

What your year actually looks like₹30K to ₹3L

Feast. Famine. Repeat.

You don’t need more discipline. You need a system built for the jagged line.

It was never for lack of trying.

Built for salaries. Not for you.

Budgeting apps. A spreadsheet. A CA once a year. Every one assumes the money already landed. None of them watch the gap when it doesn’t.

Different tools. Same blind spot.

Your apps wait for payday. Your CA waits for March.

We watch the other 363 days.

Here’s the shift.

You don’t need a budget. You need a witness.

Something that watches the gap between what you planned and what your bank actually did.
We never look away.

Here’s how we watch.

We do the math. You just earn.

No spreadsheets. No data entry. No nagging. You make the money. We handle what happens next.

  1. 1

    Money lands. You forward it.

    Send the payment alert on WhatsApp, or a screenshot. That’s the whole input. No bank login.

  2. 2

    We do the math.

    Tax, salary and runway, re-planned the same day. A CA signs every number.

  3. 3

    One calm message.

    Here’s your split. Here’s what to move. Never a buzz at 11 pm.

🔒 Tax Vault

March never surprises you again.

Every receipt, the right slice set aside. Presumptive-aware, net of the TDS your clients already took, dated to 15 June, 15 September, 15 December and 15 March.

The money’s there before the bill is.

  • TDS by client, matched to your 26AS
  • Watches the ₹12L, ₹20L GST and ₹75L lines
  • Line-by-line workings your CA can sign

Dr Sanjay Rao, dentist, ₹60L a year. The vault holds 8.3% of every receipt. Illustrative.

🪙 Pay Yourself

You got paid. We split it before you spend it.

Money lands. We carve it the same day: tax, salary pot, buffer, and what’s yours to spend. Your salary lands on the 1st, whatever the month did.

The discipline of a salary. Without the salary.

  • A salary pot that keeps two months funded
  • Drag the split yourself, any receipt
  • Salary history you can show a landlord

Riya Sharma, freelance designer, ₹24L a year, pays herself ₹65,000. Illustrative.

📈 Runway

Not a balance. A countdown.

One number: how many months you could last if every client stopped paying today. Slide what you spend and watch it move.

Watch it grow. That’s the whole game.

  • Counts your salary pot and buffer, nothing else
  • A buffer that fills itself in fat months
  • A date, not a percentage

Goals

On track, or not. Never a guess. Real targets, adjusted for inflation.

Protection gaps

Term, health, emergency fund. We show the gaps. We don’t sell the cover.

Money Review

Once a month. Five minutes. See where you stand, adjust, close the app.

Share with your CA

Clean numbers, TDS matched, workings attached. Filing week gets short.

Three engines. One job. Watch the gap so you never drift off track.

Your clients are holding your money.

You may be owed, not short.

Most money apps lock away a flat slice of every invoice. On presumptive tax, with TDS on your invoices, the real number is often zero. Sometimes it’s a refund.

Resident individual, new regime, FY 2026-27. Presumptive tax counts 50% of receipts as income. TDS at 10% of invoices. “Typical app” means tax worked out on all receipts less ₹2L of costs, the way a salary-style engine sets it aside. Education only, not tax advice.

🔎 60 seconds. No login. No catch.

What aren’t you seeing?

Three questions. One honest look at your money. We’ll show you a risk you’ve been walking past.

Nothing you tap here is stored or sent.

The fear we hear most.

Most money apps run on your anxiety. We don’t. We stay silent until silence would cost you.

Before you trust us with a single rupee.

You’re the customer. Not the product.

We don’t sell ads. We don’t sell your data. You pay us, so no one else ever does. That’s the whole business.

A CA signs every number

Every tax figure we show runs on a rule set a practising CA has checked and signed. Wave one gets a CA on every number, by hand.

We can’t touch your money

We never hold it and we can’t move it. You forward what lands; we do the math. When bank linking comes, it’s read-only, through RBI’s Account Aggregator framework.

We flag. We never sell.

We show the gaps in your cover. We don’t earn a rupee filling them. No commissions on insurance or funds. Ever.

Your data stays yours

Never sold. Never shared. Export it or delete it any time, from inside the app.

On investment advice: we don’t give it. When a SEBI-registered partner is signed, we’ll say so here, in writing, with their registration number. Not before.

YSSSVP

Built by people, not a faceless app.

Founded by Yash Shah. Built with SS and Vishal Patel. A real team, and in wave one, a real person who answers your WhatsApp the same day.

Money runs on trust. We built for that first.

We built this for someone specific.

Is this you?

No salary. No fixed date. No HR doing it for you. If your income moves, keep reading.

No. Cinch is tools and education: tax set-aside, a salary from lumpy income, runway, calculators. We don’t tell you what to buy. Investment advice arrives only once a SEBI-registered partner is signed, and we’ll say so in writing.
