104
Invoice

My invoice software went from $6 to $23 a month. Just to create an invoice. So I built my own, and you can have it for free.

104 Invoice makes proper tax invoices with your ABN and the GST worked out, keeps track of who has paid and who hasn't, and saves a clean PDF you can send straight from your phone. No account, no subscription, no catch. Your invoices live on your phone, not on someone else's server.

The 104 Invoice home screen: invoiced, paid, outstanding and overdue totals, a New invoice button and recent invoices.
The 104 Invoice opening screen: 104 in a tall serif over a sunlit plaster wall, with INVOICE beneath.
