An invoice in a minute
Pick a recipient from your contacts, add line items, save. LeanInvoice assigns sequential, year-prefixed invoice numbers on its own, starting from your own number if you already have an invoicing history.
Write invoices. Skip the bookkeeping.
An invoicing app for German small businesses filing under §19 UStG. Enter the invoice, generate a PDF with every required field, send it by mail, done. Track working hours and turn them into line items. No cloud bookkeeping, no account, no monthly fee for features you never use.
Please note: LeanInvoice is built for the German market. The app is in German only and available on the German App Store only, so downloading it requires an Apple Account set to Germany. This English page is provided for information. Everything you see in the app itself is German.

Everything for the invoice. Nothing for the accountant.
PDFs with every required field
A4 PDFs following DIN 5008, with every field required by §14 UStG and the §19 small-business notice. Automatic page breaks on long invoices, German number and date formatting, IBAN grouped in fours. Send straight from the app via Mail, AirDrop, or Files.
Hours that become invoices
Log time with date, activity, and hourly rate. When writing an invoice, pick the entries you want. LeanInvoice aggregates them into line items and remembers what has already been billed.
Corrections with a note
Sent and paid invoices are read-only, so nothing changes by accident. When a genuine correction is needed, it goes through a dedicated flow: you give a reason, the invoice number and date are preserved, and the app records when and why it was corrected. You can save the previous version as a PDF first, and the new one carries a “corrected version” note. What you make of it for your own records is up to you.
