- Customer and address details
- The right type of work
InvoQuill keeps each customer, job, booking, order or delivery with its quotes, photos, mileage, expenses, reports and invoices. Choose from 15 business setups and keep the whole story in one place.
Enter information once, then use it again when you need to show what happened, understand the cost or prepare the paperwork.
Choose the customer and the address, then create the project, job, booking, order or delivery that fits what you are doing.
Add the relevant notes, photos, mileage and expenses as the work progresses, without mixing them with another customer or job.
Prepare a quote, job report, invoice or receipt using information you have already checked and kept with the work.
Read the PDF, issue the numbered document when it is correct, then record payment only after checking that the money arrived.
Your choice changes the suggested work names, documents, stages and prompts.
For businesses such as builders, electricians, landscapers and mobile mechanics that need the address, the evidence and the travel records kept together.
For consultants, cleaners, photographers and personal-care businesses that organise work around a project or appointment.
For food services, order-based sellers and couriers that need the sale, fulfilment, costs and paperwork kept together.
The change agreed in passing is the one nobody writes down. Recording what was said is part of InvoQuill Pro.
Start recording while you are talking and the conversation is written down on the phone itself, line by line. The sound never goes to iCloud and never goes into a backup.
What it came to, what was settled, what happens next and what is still open. Nothing reaches the note that was not in the room: a price, a date or a day that was not actually said does not get printed, and a figure somebody turned down stays turned down. The note is yours to edit before it goes anywhere near a customer.
When somebody disputes what was agreed you have the whole conversation, not just the summary. Prices, dates and reference numbers are lifted out word for word.
A call coming in or a headset dropping out leaves a gap. The note says where it happened and for how long, instead of quietly closing it up.
You choose how long a recording is kept: a week, a month, a year, or for good. When the time is up the sound goes and the words and the note stay.
A widget, a morning notification, your watch, and a phone that notices where you have pulled up. Arrival alerts, the widgets, the Lock Screen and the watch figures are part of InvoQuill Pro.
Outstanding, overdue and what you have been paid this year, in every widget size iOS offers and on the Lock Screen too. Totals only, never a customer’s name or an invoice number, because a Home Screen can be read without unlocking.
The large widget shows how many jobs are booked, when the first one starts and how many invoices need chasing. It tells you how old its figures are, and when money is overdue, iOS brings it to the front of your Smart Stack.
What is late, what is due and what is booked in, at 7:30 or whatever time you set. Numbers, never names, so nobody reading your Lock Screen learns who owes you. Tap it and it opens the exact invoice. If nothing needs you, nothing arrives. Without a subscription it carries late money only — being told an invoice is overdue is free either way.
Switch on arrival alerts and the phone offers to check you in when you reach an address you have work booked at, recording the time you arrived rather than the time you got round to tapping. It waits four minutes, so driving past the end of the road never sets it off, and it says nothing about the place you set off from every day.
The Apple Watch app shows what is outstanding, what is overdue and what you have been paid this year without you touching your phone. Press record on your wrist and your iPhone writes the conversation up next time you open it. Lock the app on the phone and the figures leave the watch too.
Siri will record a cost, start work, finish work or log a trip. It will never issue an invoice, send anything to a customer or move a penny, and none of it works on a locked phone. Checked in to a job? A live card counts the hours on your Lock Screen with the app shut.
A quote or an invoice goes out as a PDF your customer can open and print, and cannot quietly change.
Every PDF is encrypted as it is written. Your customer opens it with no password and prints it as normal, but cannot edit it, copy the text out of it, add notes to it or slip a page in. Screen readers still read it aloud, so sealing a document never makes it awkward to use. Software that chooses to ignore those settings can still import the page, and anything on a screen can be photographed, so this is not a promise that nothing can ever be faked. What it does mean is that no ordinary reader will let a figure be changed, and that if the seal is interfered with, that can be seen afterwards.
The file carries one, but it is made at random at the moment the document is written and thrown away on the spot. Nobody holds it: not your customer, not us, not you. Once a document is issued, that is what was issued.
Document numbers run in order and never repeat. Restore a backup or change a setting by mistake and a number that has been used stays used. Void an invoice and the number stays on the record, so nothing quietly disappears from your paperwork. Set your own prefix and digits, and reset the count each year if that suits your books.
Add your own Stripe, PayPal, Square, SumUp or GoCardless link and every invoice goes out with a code to scan and a button to tap. The code is made on your phone. We never handle your money and never store payment keys: the link goes to your own account, and you record the payment when it lands.
The figures behind the work, and a file your accountant can open.
Money in and out, work, tax, registers, who owes you, and planning — over your own financial year, a quarter, a month or any two dates you pick. Each one reads the document your customer received rather than working the figures out again, so a report cannot disagree with the paperwork. Reading them on screen is free; printing, sending or saving one is part of Pro.
Six file formats, with the separators, decimal marks, date style and column names set to match whatever they use. Save a set-up you send every quarter and it comes back exactly as you left it. The app keeps a list of what left it and when.
Snap a receipt and the supplier, total, tax and date are filled in for you, on the phone, ready to check. Bring in a bank statement as a file, a PDF or a photo of the paper. Payments are matched by the reference on the invoice, not by the amount, and every match is a suggestion you confirm one at a time.
Core records and drafts work without a connection. Private iCloud sync keeps supported records updated across your Apple devices at no extra cost. With Pro you can also keep a separate copy in the Files app and lock it with a passphrase; restoring one is always available, subscribed or not.
Read about storageOn a device that supports it and has it switched on, it writes a recorded conversation up into a note. That happens on the device itself. InvoQuill supplies the figures and the status, and you read the result before you use it. Without it, every word is still written down and you write the note.
See what it can help withSet the business up, keep your records and prepare documents without Pro. A subscription covers issuing a numbered document and getting it to the customer, and it also covers exports, backups, the widgets and the Apple Watch. Everything you have already issued stays yours to open and read.
Read about ProYou walk into the whole app, and you only meet a price at the moment you ask it to do the thing you are paying for. One plan, no tiers to choose between: £4.99 a month in the UK, with a free week to start if your Apple Account is eligible. The App Store shows your own price in your own currency. You cancel from your own Apple account — there is no separate InvoQuill account, and no card details for us to hold.
Until you start that free week, every PDF the app makes carries a repeated “Created with InvoQuill” mark across each page, previews included. Start the week and it is gone, on every document, old and new.
Stop paying and you lose nothing you have already done. Every record stays, you can still open it, and you will still be told when an invoice is late.
Follow one made-up job through customer setup, evidence, costs, a job report, the invoice and a confirmed payment.
