Create quotes, invoices, sales notes, and receipts straight from your phone — then send them over WhatsApp and track exactly who still owes you. No sign-up. Works with no signal. Free, and no ads. Built for small businesses and freelancers in Indonesia: contractors, event and wedding organizers, F&B suppliers, agencies, and any service business that bills on payment terms. ONE FLOW, FROM QUOTE TO PAID Quote accepted? Turn it into an invoice with one tap. Paid? Issue the receipt. Every document in a deal stays together in order, so you always know where a job stands. KNOW EXACTLY WHO HASN'T PAID The home screen shows your running receivables and how many documents are overdue. Every document carries a clear status: Draft, Sent, Paid, or Overdue. SEND AND CHASE ON WHATSAPP Each document renders as a clean PDF and shares over WhatsApp — the most natural way to bill in Indonesia. For anything past its due date, a ready reminder message is one tap away. CREATE BY VOICE Speak or type a command in Indonesian — "buat penawaran untuk Budi, 2 meja seharga lima ratus ribu, diskon 10 persen" — and Paperdis fills in the draft for you to check. Commands only ever fill a draft; they never issue, number, or send a document on their own. THE TIDY DETAILS • Automatic numbering per type and per month (e.g. INV/2026/09/0042) • Discounts and VAT calculated as you type • A catalog of products and services with default prices • A client list with history and outstanding balance • Mark as paid, attach transfer proof, issue the receipt • Your logo and brand colour on every document • Amount in words, generated on receipt PDFs YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR PHONE Clients, documents, and payments live in a local database on the device. Paperdis never uploads your business data to any server, and works fully offline. From quote to paid off.
