Pay Day
Read full descriptionHide full description
Most invoice apps make a pretty PDF. Pay Day makes one your tax authority's system can actually read. The EU is switching to mandatory electronic invoicing. Belgium requires every VAT-registered business to send and receive structured e-invoices over Peppol since 1 January 2026, with fines for a plain PDF. France went live on 1 September 2026, and small businesses must issue e-invoices from 1 September 2027. Germany follows in 2027 and 2028, and EU-wide cross-border e-invoicing arrives in 2030. A normal PDF is no longer enough. Pay Day is built for exactly this moment, on your iPhone, with no desktop software and no monthly bookkeeping suite. FREE, AND GENUINELY GENEROUS - Unlimited invoices and estimates. No per-document limit, no watermark, no "upgrade to export." - Unlimited clients, your logo, and multi-currency with European Central Bank reference rates. - A real EN 16931 VAT engine: standard rates, intra-community reverse charge, zero-rated and exempt lines โ with a correct, properly rounded VAT breakdown on every document. - Works fully offline. Bill from a job site, a train, anywhere. - No account required to start. Open the app and you're invoicing. - Your country's e-invoicing rules on the dashboard: what is mandatory, since when, and what to set up. - Live VAT validation: check every client's VAT ID against the EU VIES service before you issue. PRO โ REAL E-INVOICE COMPLIANCE, NOT JUST A PDF - Factur-X / ZUGFeRD e-invoices: a single hybrid file that looks like a clean invoice to your client and carries embedded EN 16931 data a tax authority's system can read automatically. Independently validated as a valid PDF/A-3 with valid EN 16931 XML. - Peppol delivery: send your invoice straight into your client's accounting system over the EU's official network โ no email attachment, no portal logins. CREDIT PACKS โ PAY ONLY FOR WHAT YOU SEND - Top up with consumable credit packs that cover each Peppol network send (we pass through the real per-send cost rather than padding a subscription). - The same credits power optional AI helpers: snap a photo of a quote or receipt and turn it into line items, or type a rough description and let it draft the lines. AI actions cost a few credits each and are entirely optional โ the app is complete without them. WHO IT'S FOR Freelancers, consultants, designers, developers, and small businesses across the EU who invoice other businesses and need to be ready for e-invoicing mandates โ without paying for a heavyweight accounting platform. HONEST PROMISE The free app is a complete invoicing tool, not a trial. We only ask you to pay where it genuinely costs us or genuinely earns you compliance: structured e-invoices, network delivery, and AI. No fake urgency, no nagging, no surprise limits. Pay Day Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, monthly or annual. Peppol network sends are metered separately via consumable credit packs on every Pro plan. Payment is charged to your Apple ID; subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings. Credit packs are one-time purchases. Terms of Use (EULA): https://midgarcorp.cc/legal/pay-day/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://midgarcorp.cc/legal/pay-day/privacy/
Work Hours Tracker
Read full descriptionHide full description
Breta is a notebook for your jobs. Every job you take on lives in one place: what you agreed, when you are working, the photos you took, the hours you put in, the materials you used, and what you earned. Built for handymen, tradespeople and solo contractors who bill by the job and would rather be working than doing paperwork. WHAT A JOB HOLDS Give a job a customer, a price and the days you are on site, and it keeps everything else together for you: - Photos, taken several at a time without leaving the app, with captions and a cover shot - Videos of the work, before and after - Notes as the job moves - Hours, timed with a live timer you can watch from the Lock Screen - Materials, with quantities and units - An estimate, and a price breakdown with tax if you charge it YOUR DAY, WITHOUT THE DIARY The home screen shows what is on today, this week and this month, so you open the app and already know where you are going. The calendar marks every day that has work on it, and tapping a day tells you what is booked. Jobs that run over several days can carry different times on each day. CUSTOMERS YOU CAN REACH IN ONE TAP Call, message, email or navigate to a customer straight from their card. Addresses open in Google Maps if you have it, Apple Maps if you do not. Every customer keeps the history of the jobs you have done for them. KNOW WHAT YOU EARNED See completed jobs and revenue for the month at a glance, then open either one for the full picture: how it compares to last month, how it has moved over the last year, and what an average month looks like. Share a clean summary when you need to show someone. IT FITS HOW YOU ALREADY WORK - A home screen widget with your next job and a button that opens the route - A reminder each morning of what is on, and a nudge to close out a job you have finished - Sync across your iPhone and iPad through iCloud, in your own account - Add jobs to your device calendar if you want them alongside everything else - Back up and restore everything yourself, and import from Jobee Pro - Works in 37 languages, with your own currency and tax rate WHAT IT DOES NOT DO Breta does not raise invoices and does not log mileage. It records the work so you always know what you did, when, and for whom. PRIVACY Your jobs, customers and photos are yours. They stay on your device and in your own iCloud account. There are no accounts to create and nothing is sold to anyone. BRETA PRO Your first 3 jobs are free, with every feature. Customers, reading your work, exporting it and changing your settings are always free. A subscription is needed to create more jobs. - Yearly, with the first month free - Monthly - Lifetime, paid once Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings. Privacy Policy: https://www.tupungatostudios.com/privacy/breta Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
