Feature

One monthly target. No comparisons, no leaderboards.

Set a personal monthly target — gross, net, or take-home — and Ensaria shows the live pace projection in the top-bar money chip. The number you're aiming at is yours; the math behind it is honest.

The problem

Where this usually breaks.

Most goal-tracking apps treat freelance income like a fitness app treats steps — with daily push notifications, comparisons to last week, and a streak counter that punishes you for one bad day. That's the opposite of what freelance income needs.

Income is lumpy. Some months are slow because you're shipping the big project next month. Some are slow because a client is late paying. A motivational app doesn't fix either; it just adds anxiety on top.

The money chip shows pace toward your monthly target — calm, monochrome, in the corner of every screen.

How Ensaria handles it

Set your monthly target once in Settings. The chip in the top bar shows your month-to-date earned, your pace-target for today, and the gap. Both numbers are mono. No animations, no celebrations, no shame — just two integers on a calm row.

The Sunday Review wraps each week with your real progress against the monthly target. Last week's gap, this week's pace, days left in the month. The single calm sentence at the top is the one that matters: “on pace,” “behind by €X,” or “ahead by €X.”

No daily push, ever

We don't notify you about your goal. We don't email you on day 28 to say you're behind. The data is always available when you look at it; it doesn't chase you down. Goals you set yourself shouldn't feel like work someone else assigned.

In the product

Where this shows up.

A few other surfaces in Ensaria where the same idea lives — none of these are settings you opt into; they're how the product behaves by default.

Sunday Review's first line says 'on pace' or the honest gap in euros. Nothing else.

Per-project effective rate rolls up into the monthly target — the lowest-rate project is the one to renegotiate first.

Today view's blocks show their billable amount; the running total stays in the corner without pulling attention.

+€820 to pace this month, days left visible — the only nag is your own setting.

Common questions

What if I'm consistently below target?

The Sunday Review's monthly average vs target shows the trend. If three consecutive months land below, the review surfaces it as a calm suggestion: 'consider raising rates or expanding capacity' — never a push, never a popup.

Can I set a target in something other than gross monthly?

Yes. Target by net take-home, by billable hours, or by hours-worked. All three options use the same pace-projection math, calibrated to whichever variable you picked.

What about quarterly or yearly targets?

Yearly targets work the same way — pace projection looks at the calendar year. Quarterly is not first-class yet; the workaround is three separate monthly targets.
