Hurdlr

Hurdlr is a finance and tax-tracking app built for freelancers, independent contractors, gig workers and self-employed professionals. Its focus is on automatically tracking the things that matter most for saving money at tax time — income, expenses, mileage and estimated taxes — so solo earners can maximise their deductions and avoid nasty surprises without becoming accountants.

Automatic mileage tracking

One of Hurdlr's standout features is automatic mileage tracking. For anyone who drives for work — real estate agents, rideshare and delivery drivers, mobile service providers, and many freelancers — mileage is a significant and often-missed tax deduction. Hurdlr can detect trips automatically and let you classify them as business or personal, capturing deductions that would otherwise be lost to forgotten logbooks.

Expense and income tracking

Hurdlr connects to your bank accounts and cards to automatically import and categorise expenses, helping you capture every deductible business cost. It also tracks income across multiple sources, which is especially valuable for gig workers and freelancers juggling several clients or platforms. Seeing all your income and expenses in one place gives a clear, real-time picture of your business finances.

Real-time tax estimates

A defining feature is Hurdlr's real-time tax estimation. As your income and expenses update, the app estimates the taxes you owe, so you always know roughly how much to set aside. For self-employed people who face quarterly estimated taxes, this ongoing visibility helps avoid the year-end panic and underpayment penalties that catch many freelancers off guard.

Reports and simplicity

Hurdlr generates the reports and summaries you need at tax time, making filing (or handing off to an accountant) far simpler. Throughout, the emphasis is on automation and ease — it's designed to run quietly in the background and surface the numbers that matter, rather than demanding manual bookkeeping.

Who it's for

Hurdlr is ideal for freelancers, gig workers, independent contractors and self-employed professionals — particularly those who drive for work — who want to effortlessly track expenses, mileage and taxes to keep more of what they earn.

For solo earners who find full accounting software overkill but want to stop losing money on missed deductions and untracked mileage, Hurdlr is a focused, automated and genuinely money-saving tool.

Why freelancers choose Hurdlr

Hurdlr's appeal is that it automates the tedious, easy-to-forget financial tasks that quietly cost self-employed people money — chiefly untracked mileage and missed expense deductions — while keeping a running estimate of taxes owed. It runs largely in the background: trips are detected, bank transactions import and categorise, and your tax picture updates in real time. For gig workers and freelancers who find full accounting software overwhelming but know they're leaving deductions on the table, this focused automation hits a sweet spot. By making deductions effortless to capture and taxes never a surprise, Hurdlr helps solo earners keep more of what they make with minimal effort.
