Kreativo is in private beta

Finance for freelance creatives

Your jobs, payments, deadlines, subscriptions and goals in one place, in a native Mac app. One screen, and numbers that agree with each other.

  • Native Mac app
  • macOS 26 or later
  • Private beta

Kreativo for Mac is in a private beta. Join the waitlist and we will write when there is room.

The problem

A freelancer’s money lives in five places at once — a quote in an email, a deadline in a calendar, a subscription on a card, an invoice half-paid, a savings target in your head.

On your Mac

Jobs, payments, deadlines, subscriptions and goals sit side by side, and the numbers agree with each other: a payment you mark as received moves every figure it touches.

  • Keyboard first

    Find anything in a keystroke.

    Press ⌘K to search jobs, clients, subscriptions, goals and notes, or jump to a section and start a new job. Every action has a menu item and a shortcut.

  • Always one glance away

    The month, in your menu bar.

    This month’s figures and your next three deadlines sit in the menu bar, with New job one click away. Open a job in its own window when you want it beside another.

Inside Kreativo

Seven sections, all reading from the same data, so a payment you mark once moves every number it touches. The Dashboard sums them up.

  • Jobs

    Client, fee, deposit, deadline, status and progress, with the payments received tracked against each job.

  • Earnings

    What actually came in, what is still owed, and the trend over time.

  • Calendar

    Job deliveries and subscription renewals in one month grid. Red within two days, amber within seven.

  • Subscriptions

    Recurring tools with their monthly cost and next renewal, fed into the budget and the calendar.

  • Budget

    Expected income minus fixed costs minus subscriptions equals what is left.

  • Goals

    Targets with a progress ring. Earnings, jobs completed and new clients track themselves.

  • Notes

    Ideas, reminders and the rates you keep forgetting. Colour-coded, pinnable, searchable.

KreativoAI

Step 01 of 04

You say it.

Describe the job the way you would tell a friend. No form to find, no menus to open.

Step 02 of 04

It understands.

Your message is routed to one of five actions: a job, a goal, a subscription, a fixed cost or a note.

Step 03 of 04

It fills the form.

The real form opens with every field your message covered already filled in. Check it, and change anything.

Step 04 of 04

You press Create.

KreativoAI never saves on its own. Nothing exists until you press the button.

On purpose

KreativoAI explains the app and hands you a filled-in form. Anything beyond that, it tells you where to do by hand.

  • Won’t change a job’s status or progress
  • Won’t mark a payment as received
  • Won’t renew a subscription
  • Won’t edit anything
  • Won’t delete anything

Deleting in particular is never done from the chat. It is one of the things it will send you to do yourself.

How it works

  1. 01

    Add your work

    Start with the jobs you have open right now: client, title, payout and deadline. Four fields each. Everything else builds itself from those.

  2. 02

    Kreativo does the maths

    A deadline becomes an alert. A subscription becomes a budget line. A payment you mark as received becomes income. The numbers stay consistent with each other.

  3. 03

    Decide with the full picture

    See what came in, what is still owed, and what is left after costs, before you say yes to the next job.

By the numbers

  • the command palette, ⌘K

  • from Dashboard to Notes

  • jobs, goals, subscriptions, costs, notes

  • no analytics, no tracking

  • a single JSON file

Trust

Privacy is not a settings page here. It is how the product is built, and this is everything it actually promises.

  • Stored in the EU

    Your data lives in the European Union.

  • Yours alone

    Every database row is bound to its owner. No other account can read it.

  • Never sold

    Never sold, never shared, and never used to train anything.

  • Take it with you

    Export everything as a JSON file in one click, and import it back.

  • Delete means delete

    Delete your account and everything attached to it goes with it.

  • No cookies, no tracking

    No cookies, analytics, tracking or advertising.

Not there yet

There is no two-factor authentication yet, and no way to see or revoke sessions on other devices. Until there is, use a password you use nowhere else.

One more thing, for completeness: the app’s typeface is served by Adobe, which therefore sees a visitor’s IP address. It is the only third-party request the app makes. This marketing site loads nothing from any third party.

Pricing

Solo is the whole app, free for good. Studio is where the extras will live.

Solo

Studio

€8.99 a month

or €79.99 a year (save 25%)

Unlimited KreativoAI, PDF reports, a per-client view and Apple Calendar sync; more is on the way, each marked Soon until it ships.

FAQ

  • It keeps your jobs, payments, deadlines, subscriptions, fixed costs and goals in one place, and keeps the numbers consistent between them.

  • Yes. Kreativo is a native Mac app for macOS 26 or later, and it is in a private beta: you can join the waitlist and we will write when there is room.

  • No. It records what you agreed and what you were paid; the invoice itself you still make elsewhere. Kreativo also does not connect to your bank, process payments or give tax advice.

  • Kreativo for Mac is in a private beta. Join the waitlist with your email and we will write to you once there is room, and only for that. There is no download yet.

  • In the European Union, in your own private rows: no other account can read them. One click in Settings gives you a JSON file with everything in it, and you can import it back.

  • The account and every record attached to it are removed immediately and permanently. Export a backup first if you want to keep anything.

  • It is stored in the EU, bound to your account at the database level, never sold or shared, and exportable at any moment. There is no two-factor authentication yet, so use a password you use nowhere else.

  • Solo is free, for good, and includes 10 KreativoAI messages a month. Studio adds unlimited KreativoAI, with more planned. Paid plans are not on sale yet, and there is no trial because the free plan is the trial.

  • It is built for one person who invoices their own work. If you run a studio with several people billing together, it will not fit yet: there are no shared accounts.
