WaffleInvoice is invoicing built for freelancers and small service businesses. The kind of people who don't sit at a desk. I built this after a pool company opened our pool, did great work, then left an invoice with a few line items and no total on it. Couldn't tell what I owed. Called them. No answer. Called again. Days of phone tag just to pay someone for work I was happy with. WaffleInvoice is what I wish they'd used. Build a clean invoice in 60 seconds. Add your logo, line items, tax, payment terms. Send it by email or text. Take payment online through Stripe. The app handles the polite reminders when clients go quiet. Built by a solo developer with 15 years in fintech.
