Invoicing for Sole Traders Works Offline, No Signup

Invoicing That Keeps Up with Life on the Tools

Your Customers' Details Stay on Your Device

Your workspace lives on the phone, tablet or laptop you use, not in a cloud invoice database.

Your invoices hold your customers' names and addresses, what you charge and what you earn. Most invoicing apps keep all of that on their servers behind an account.

Nobody Else Holds Your Books

recevo.io has no account database and no central store of your invoices, customers or takings. The trade-off is that backups are your job. Export one regularly, or switch on encrypted cloud backup, and keep it somewhere safe.

Your workspace is saved in your browser's IndexedDB, and the majority of sensitive fields are encrypted at rest with AES-GCM.

How people who work for themselves use recevo.io to quote, invoice and keep their records straight.

Mike's profile photo

It works perfectly on-site, even when my signal is weak. I can create an estimate right in front of the client and finish the invoice as soon as the job is done.

I use the Expenses section to log every software subscription and hardware purchase. It’s incredibly helpful to see my Net Profit and Estimated Taxable Profit update in real-time as I work, so I’m never surprised at the end of the year.

I love how I can send a quote and then convert it to an invoice with just one click. It makes tracking my payments so much easier.

Privacy is my top priority. My data isn't sitting in some vendor's database, and I can share secure, read-only links with my clients.
