What Software/Apps do you use to keep track of your shops/dates/MSC's/receipts?

I did a search, but could not think of what keywords to use for this question. I am wondering what apps or software help you keep organized, and help you keep track of what receipts go with what assignments?

I've been using Google Calendar for years, along with the MileTracker app, but I think it's probably time to upgrade.

Thanks, everyone!

I use Google sheets. Helps me keep track of jobs, dates, locations, payments, payment dates, miles traveled, expenses, etc. I use one sheet for each calendar month. Once the month is paid, I change the tab color of the sheet to green and hide the sheet, so I know at a glance that it's done. Then I have a formula that consolidates all data from 12 sheets into one, which I use to do various pivot tables. That helps me keep track of earnings per month, per company, etc. and also has all the information I need to do my taxes at the end of the year.

I find Google sheets to be very flexible. Also access via internet is important to me so I can update the document from anywhere.

Tech dinosaur here. I'm afraid my methods -- suitable for me -- would be a downgrade for you! I use paper and pen. I print out the FIRST page of each shop, staple the receipt to it, and put it in a box for the year. So far, each year has fit in one box, LOL! And I use an actual calendar to keep track of payments.

LOL!

I created an Excel spreadsheet and endowed it with a few bells and whistles to meet my own requirements. Many people on this Forum report using Excel. There are some free to download from this Forum.

Wow, you folks who create spreadsheets are the bomb! I wouldn't know how, but I know I need to do something better to keep track of who has paid me as I add more MSC's.

I guess it's time to look into my spreadsheet options.

I always used Excel but just changed to sheets. ( I was told that if I need to purchase a new computer, Microsoft will not automatically transfer to Windows 10, so I learned Sheets.
The only negative I have found is that when I open it up, it always goes to the top of the list rather than the last entry as it did in excel.
Using one month per sheet would help and I may try it. At the end of the year, I could always do a copy and paste if I can't figure out how to merge the entire document.
