Show HN: I created a PDF invoice generator the way I want it (opens in new tab)

What’s always been painful about invoicing for me isn’t generating the PDF. It’s everything around it. Keeping a clean record, knowing what’s been sent, what’s been paid, what’s overdue, and remembering to follow up or handle renewals. A one off invoice creator is fine, but the real value is in the repetitive workflow and the boring bookkeeping that never goes away.

There are a bunch of solid options here depending on what you want: https://invoicely.com/ https://invoicematic.com/ https://www.invoicesimple.com/

As a backend development consultant, I lacked a way to automatically create time reports and invoices from them, so I created this tool.

- Automatic time reporting, very useful for consulting

- One page - very straightforward

- Ad-free

- No sign-up

- Upload existing invoices to auto-advance dates, invoice numbers, and time reporting

- Real-time preview as you edit

- Your data stays in the browser (no backend, except openstreetmap autocomplete)

- 5 different invoice types: regular, receipt, pro forma, quote, credit

- 5 different templates

- Supports complex VAT and discount scenarios

- 10 languages supported

I plan to keep it free of charge!

happy to hear feedback or feature requests

I tried to create a simple invoice for Spain, and it was impossible. I need to be able to add a different tax which is actually negative (-15%) but can't be done. Looks amazing, but its too rigid.
