Built a small tool to stop recreating the same invoices every month
For the past year I kept doing the same annoying thing every month:
- open last month’s invoice
- copy it
- change dates and amounts
- make sure I didn’t miss any client
- send everything manually
It’s simple work… but with multiple recurring clients it gets repetitive really fast.
So I built a small tool just for this use case.
Now I can:
→ generate all monthly invoices in one click
→ quickly review/edit them if needed
→ send everything at once (or individually)
No accounting complexity — just removes that repetitive monthly task.
I’m curious:
How are you handling recurring invoices today?
Still manual, or using something else?

This is a clean use case, but I think you’re underselling it.
“Small tool to stop recreating invoices” sounds like a side utility, not something people switch for.
The real value is:
you removed a recurring mental load completely
That’s way stronger than “generate invoices in one click.”
Also worth calling out:
tools like this win when they become default workflow, not just faster workflow
Right now it still feels like:
nice helper
It should feel like:
why am I still doing this manually?
I’d push that angle harder.
Also curious — are people actually switching from tools like Stripe/QuickBooks for this, or mostly people doing it manually right now?
Nice—this hits a real pain point. Love that it stays simple instead of becoming a full accounting tool. The one-click generate + review flow makes a lot of sense.
