# Watch a Submission Fund Drain in Date Order, Not in Inbox Order — Free

Log every festival entry fee against the fund you set aside and see the running balance in date order — including the deadline that takes the balance below zero before the last entry is paid.

**Free and complete.** This guide is a standalone free tool — no account, no card, anywhere. The only paid option is one optional extra outcome: $4 one-time. Nothing in the free tier is gated.

## Who it's for

Anyone seeking practical 100% free AI workflows — no paid API keys, credit cards, or subscriptions

## What's free

- Unlimited ledger rows, waivers and refunds included
- Copy the finished tag or the state link to send to a producer or co-writer
- Starter, first-short and feature records included

## Optional paid add-on

**$4 one-time.**

- Printable entry tag — one page for the funding application or the producer's file — estimate: ~20 minutes saved per grant report spent reconstructing what you spent
- Saved season history — keep the previous three tags in this browser so next season starts from what the last one really cost — estimate: ~30 minutes saved per new submission round
- Deadline column on the paid copy — add each festival's deadline beside its fee and print the upcoming ones as a chase list — estimate: ~10 minutes saved per deadline you would otherwise hunt for in email
