Freelance admin, without the sprawl.
MintStint helps New Zealand sole traders track time, invoice regular fees, rebill client costs, and keep cash visible in one focused workspace.
Core features
Built for real life
Most freelancer admin tools are either too light or too heavy. MintStint keeps the essentials together: time, clients, regular fees, invoices, expenses, and a simple cash view.
Track time without drama
Start a timer, repeat a recent entry, or add time manually. Billable work stays connected to the client and project it belongs to.
Keep clients and projects tidy
Organise active work by client, project, task, rate, status, and who needs access.
Invoice work, regular fees, and client costs
Turn work into invoices, set up a recurring fee, or add a client expense once. Keep draft, sent, viewed, paid, and overdue invoices visible.
Keep set-aside estimates visible
Track configurable tax set-aside estimates for planning purposes, without pretending to replace tax advice.
See your cash at a glance
See cash received, business expenses, net cash, unbilled work, and invoice follow-up from one calm dashboard.
Keep expense records useful
Keep receipt-backed expenses, business-use claims, mileage, and accountant exports in the same place — without enterprise accounting clutter.
Pricing
One simple monthly plan

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes MintStint different from a budgeting app?
MintStint is built around freelance work: time tracking, clients, projects, invoices, and set-aside estimates. It helps you keep admin moving without rebuilding your workflow in spreadsheets.
Is there a free tier or trial?
No free working tier and no trial. MintStint Pro is NZ$19.99/month flat. View-only accountant seats are free.
Is this for New Zealand freelancers?
Yes. MintStint is aimed at freelancers, contractors, sole traders, and small studios in New Zealand, with GST-ready invoice settings and careful language around tax set-aside estimates.
Can I invoice from tracked time?
Absolutely. Track billable time as you work, then turn selected entries into invoice lines when you are ready to bill. You can also repeat a recent timer entry instead of starting from scratch.
Can I send a regular recurring fee?
Yes. Create a recurring invoice template for a weekly, fortnightly, monthly, or quarterly fee. You can pause it, set an end date, and keep the generated invoices in the normal invoice list.
Can I add a client expense to an invoice?
Yes. Mark a client-linked expense as rebillable, then add it to that client's invoice. MintStint keeps the expense linked and prevents it being billed twice.
Can clients open invoices online?
Yes. MintStint invoice emails can include a client-safe web link so the recipient can view the invoice online, while you keep the invoice history, viewed state, and payment notes in the workspace.
Does MintStint replace an accountant or tax agent?
No. Cash and set-aside numbers are planning views only. They are there to keep money visible while you make final tax decisions with your accountant, tax agent, or Inland Revenue guidance.
