cash gauge / 13 weeks · free workflow
See the Week Your Cash Runs Thinnest — Free
List the dated movements in and out and the strip spaces them across the window, so the week where outflows cluster ahead of receipts is visible while you can still move a payment date.
What this replaces
A cashflow forecast shows a closing balance and hides the dip in the middle. This spaces your dated movements along a strip, so the week where three payments land before a receipt is visible while there is still time to ask for a later date.
Tool note. This runs entirely in your browser — no account, no upload, no paid API key. Google NotebookLM is named as the free source-grounded reading path for the material you paste; its published free-tier terms were checked on 2026-09-13 and can change.
The four passes
Collect the smallest useful input
One dated movement per line, in or out, with the amount.
Let the strip space them
Each movement is placed with the days between it and the previous one.
Find the tightest gap
That is the week to move a payment or chase a receipt.
Ask before the week arrives
Suppliers and clients both respond better to an early request.

Everything you paste stays in this browser tab. Nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and no request leaves the page to generate the result; clearing site data removes anything saved locally.
What breaks, and what to do
Movements without dates
Marked TBC and raised to the top of the urgency lane.
Recurring items not listed
Only what you paste is counted; list every standing order.
Uncertain receipts
Label them; the strip cannot know which invoices will actually land.
