24 alternatives to InvoCLI

Hi HN I built a small open-source CLI tool that lets you generate professional invoices directly from the terminal. Write invoices in YAML/JSON Export to clean PDF instantly No SaaS lock-in, no vendor dependency Great for freelancers & developers The motivation came from constantly struggling with overcomplicated invoicing software while working on side projects. I wanted something minimal, scriptable, and developer-friendly. Repo: https://github.com/username/invoice-cli Docs: https://github.com/username/invoice-cli#readme I’d love your feedback -…

    I built an offline-first, open-source invoicing app because I wanted a simple way to generate invoices without SaaS lock-in. It runs fully locally, keeps all data on disk, and exports PDF invoices. I’m keeping it lightweight on purpose - it’s not a CRM. Feedback is very welcome.

    Hi HN, I'm a freelance developer, and like many others, I used to manage invoices through clunky spreadsheets, reused templates, and endless email threads with my accountant. To simplify that, I built PlainInvoice.com — a minimal invoicing tool designed for freelancers and small teams. It's clean, fast, and doesn't require sign-up to start. Some features: Generate invoices instantly (no login needed) Save clients, track total billed and actual received (with multi-currency support) Upload attachments (like receipts or contracts) Add teammates or accountants with viewer-only access Works well…

    http://invoiceto.me/ My weekend project was this edit-in-place style invoice maker, with one button PDF generation and localStorage for everything. Aside from the PDF generator step, everything is jQuery powered and there is effectively no backend. This is (I suppose) an Alpha version, only really tested on webkit (iPad, Safari, & Chrome). Feedback would be great: it's my first foray into web app development and I'm finding it hard to look at the page with fresh eyes—although I have my doubts about its usability in certain areas! All comments are welcome. Part of me is tempted to attempt…

    Hey Ya'll! My name is Steven and Im launching invoicebloom.io for Professional Invoicing & CRM for Small Businesses & Freelancers. Im a software developer and I sometimes work as a freelancer. Since some of freelance jobs were sidegigs I always just required payment in zelle or cash app. However, some of my clients kept requesting me for invoices for record keeping purposes. I also starting noticing that I kept going back to my email to check for client's information regarding past jobs I have done. So I decided to go on the hunt for some software that was cheap and work nicely and I did the…
