$ invoices --dashboard --new --e-invoice --paid
An invoicing tool for small businesses: invoices runs from quote via order confirmation and delivery note to the invoice — as a PDF in three layouts and as an e-invoice (XRechnung & ZUGFeRD). Dashboard with open items and monthly revenue included. Stored locally, native for macOS, Windows and Linux.

// create, send, paid — one tool
Writing invoices today usually means a spreadsheet with a template, or a full accounting suite on subscription. In between, the tool for small businesses is missing — quickly write a clean invoice, see what’s outstanding, done. invoices is exactly that tool, as one native app.
// write
An invoice in a minute
Pick a customer, add positions from your product list, done is the PDF — with sequential numbering, correct VAT and every mandatory detail. Small-business VAT exemption (§19, Germany) included if you need it.
// document chain
From quote to credit note
Turn a quote into an invoice with one click, order confirmations and delivery notes included, cancellations and credit notes cleanly linked — every document knows its origin, nothing gets typed twice.
// at a glance
Open items & reminders
Who has paid, who is overdue? The open-items list shows it instantly — payment reminders and dunning notices are two clicks instead of a spreadsheet hunt.
// the LAN-SOLO way
Native & honest
No Electron bloat, no forced accounts, no telemetry: your customer and invoice data lives locally on your device — not in someone else’s cloud.
// And because we keep it honest: invoices does not replace your tax advisor. It writes clean, complete documents — what follows for your taxes is between you and your professional.
