No signal? Keep working.

Inbill is an offline invoice app for new work. When the signal drops, new invoice drafts, quotes, clients and expenses save on your device, show as "Waiting to upload", and upload by themselves when you are back online. Sending an invoice, editing one and recording a payment wait for a connection, so nothing looks sent or paid when it is not.

What you can do with no connection

Mobile data drops in lifts, on the road and at client sites. When it does, you can still do the work that does not need anyone else:

  • New invoice drafts and quotes, with their lines, prices and notes.
  • New clients, including one you add from inside the invoice form.
  • New expenses that you type in.

Each one appears in its list straight away, greyed out and marked "Waiting to upload". In the Android app, the lists from the last time you were online also stay on screen to read. The native Android app is in closed testing on Google Play. The web app works in any phone browser with the same account.

Online only

What waits for a connection, and why

  • Sending an invoice or quote by WhatsApp, email or link.
  • Editing an invoice that is already saved.
  • Recording a payment, or confirming a client's "I've paid" report.
  • Scanning a receipt, attaching a receipt photo and using the AI assistant.

The rule is simple. Anything that reaches your client or changes money must really happen before the app tells you it did. A queued payment that never arrives at the server would show a client as paid when they are not. So these actions stay online only.

Back online

How the upload works

When your connection comes back, or the next time you open the app, waiting items upload by themselves. Clients go first, then the drafts that use them, then expenses.

Every item gets its final ID on your device when you save it. If an upload is cut off halfway and tried again, the same item is never saved twice. If the server refuses an item, it stays on your list with the reason, so you can fix it or remove it.

Safety

Signing out never deletes work silently

Signing out clears your account data from the device, so Inbill uploads what is waiting first. If something still has not uploaded, for example because you are still offline, you see how many things are waiting and two choices: stay signed in, or sign out and delete them.

Then, once you are online, send the drafts on WhatsApp or by email. Here is how to send an invoice on WhatsApp.

Questions people ask

Is there an invoice app that works offline on Android?

Inbill does, for new work. New drafts, quotes, clients and expenses save with no internet and upload later. The native Android app is in closed testing on Google Play. The web app works in any phone browser with the same account.

Can I send an invoice offline?

No. Save it as a draft and send it when you are back online, on WhatsApp, by email or as a link. Sending needs a connection so the invoice really reaches your client before the app says it was sent.

Can I edit an invoice or record a payment offline?

No. Editing a saved invoice, recording a payment and confirming an "I've paid" report all need a connection, so your balances are never wrong. Only new items are kept for later.

What happens if I sign out with work still waiting?

Inbill first tries to upload it. If something is still waiting, it tells you how many things have not uploaded and asks before deleting them. You can stay signed in and let them upload when you connect.

Where is offline work kept?

On that device only, for your account only, until it uploads. Signing out removes it from the device, after asking you first.

Is offline saving part of the free plan?

Yes, it works on every plan. On Free, a draft does not count toward your 10 invoices a month until it is first sent, shared or downloaded.
