Midday
All-in-one business management platform for solo entrepreneurs
Midday consolidates time tracking, invoicing, financial reconciliation, and secure document storage into a single platform built for freelancers and consultants.
Overview
Run Your Business Smarter
Midday is a comprehensive business operations platform designed specifically for freelancers, contractors, consultants, and solo entrepreneurs. It eliminates the need to juggle multiple tools by integrating essential business functions into one cohesive system.
Core Capabilities
The platform centers around live time tracking with project insights, automated financial reconciliation through Magic Inbox that matches receipts to transactions, and a secure Vault for contracts and agreements. An AI-powered Assistant analyzes spending patterns and surfaces documents on demand, while seamless CSV export streamlines accountant collaboration. Invoicing capabilities enable real-time collaboration on web-based invoices with project synchronization.
Technical Foundation
Built as a TypeScript monorepo using Next.js, React, and Supabase, Midday leverages modern infrastructure including Vercel for hosting, Trigger.dev for background jobs, and multiple banking integrations (GoCardLess, Plaid, Teller) for comprehensive financial connectivity across North America and Europe. The architecture supports web, desktop (Tauri), and mobile (Expo) deployments, ensuring accessibility across devices.
