An invoice desk inside your browser
Quick Invoice keeps every invoice as one structured document — no sign-up, nothing uploaded, and the whole thing exports in a click. Write it as code, or click through the form. Same document either way.

It stays on this device. No account, no server copy, nobody holding your records.
Structured plain text. One .yaml file — import, export, back up, or commit it.
Code and form, either way. Both edit the same document; they never drift apart.

Close the tab, come back tomorrow — your invoices are still there. No account, no server copy, and no third party quietly holding your amounts and your client list.

Each invoice is one readable text file. Export the .yaml, import it on another machine, drop it in a cloud folder as a backup — or commit it, and a year of invoicing has a version history.

If you like working in bulk, edit the fields directly. If you would rather not see code, switch to Form mode and click the invoice itself. Both write to the same document, and you can move between them at any time.

Language, currency and template belong to the invoice, not to your account. Tokyo gets a Japanese invoice in yen and Paris a French one in euros, both from the same workspace.

Your letterhead, your regular clients, the services you bill and their rates all live in one shared config. An invoice pulls a whole block in with a single line.
Move office and you change one line; every invoice that points at it updates. Discount a single job and you override the rate on that invoice alone — the shared copy stays put.

Because the data and the layout are separate, a template is just a small layout file — cheap to add, so the shelf keeps growing. Switching one never touches what you wrote; it only changes the paper.
Most of them work well — they just want your account and your data first. This one does not.

No. Everything is written to your browser’s own storage, tied to this device and this browser. Switch devices or clear your browser data and it is gone — so export a .yaml copy of anything you want to keep.
Yes. Switch to Form mode and edit the invoice by clicking on it, much like filling in a paper form. The editor is there for people who like plain text — both edit the same document.
Export a .yaml file and import it on the new device. It is plain text, so a cloud folder, an email or a Git repo all work — and you can read what is inside without any tool at all.
