InvoiceShelf is an open-source, self-hosted web application for creating invoices and estimates, tracking payments and expenses, and managing customers. Built with Laravel and Vue, it offers PDF exports, recurring billing, multi-currency support, a customer portal, and multi-company management.

Use cases

• self-hosted invoicing for freelancers
• create and send professional invoices with PDF export
• track expenses and payments for a small business
• schedule recurring invoices for retainers
• give clients a portal to view and pay invoices
• run multiple companies from one install
• replace SaaS invoicing tools without vendor lock-in

When to choose

• you want full control and ownership of your billing data on your own server
• you're a freelancer or small business needing invoices, estimates, expenses, and reports in one tool
• you need multi-currency, recurring billing, and a customer portal without per-seat fees
• you prefer Docker or manual Laravel deployment with MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQLite

When to avoid

• you need a fully managed hosted solution with no server maintenance
• you require the 3.x branch for production - it's an alpha preview not ready for real data
• you need deep accounting features like double-entry bookkeeping or payroll
• you can't meet the PHP 8.4 requirement or don't want to run a web application
