The real problem
Between the job, the invoice, and the tax. Every quarter that gap costs real money — and most software makes it worse.
Most sole traders can send a clean, GST-ready invoice before they leave the site — from the phone already in their pocket.
Open DaybookLine items, GST, and totals without spreadsheet gymnastics.
See quotes, costs, and payments in one thread per job.
On paid tiers your accountant gets a seat — not a PDF dump at year end.
Works on the device you already carry — clients open links without installing an app.
No. Free is its own $0 tier — not a preview of Paid. Stay on Free for the core workflow and Pay now (platform clip when clients pay). Upgrade to Paid for bank link, automations, and accountant access.
Not for Free. There is no card on file, no “trial ends” clock, and no surprise downgrade — create and send invoices on the Free plan for as long as you want. If you later choose Paid, you add payment then.
Daybook calculates GST on every invoice automatically — 15%, every time, no thinking required. Line items and totals stay consistent if you edit and re-send, so you are not rebuilding the maths in a spreadsheet. On Paid: connect your bank, then automatically move a prudent GST portion into your nominated savings pocket when you get paid — it does not pay IRD for you; it keeps cash organised. Until that ships, GST stays visible on each document.
Yes — Daybook is built mobile-first. Create an invoice from the car park, copy the link and share it however you like — WhatsApp, email, or text from your own phone — before you've pulled out of the driveway. Your client gets a clean link that works on anything. They don't need to install a thing.
Your data is yours. We never sell it, share it with third parties, or use it for advertising. It's stored securely and you can export it at any time. We're a NZ company — your data stays in NZ.
You mark the invoice paid (or your client pays through a flow you arrange). Today that is manual bookkeeping inside Daybook. Roadmap: when bank feeds and sweeps are live on paid tiers, Daybook will move a conservative GST-related amount into your separate bank pocket so you always know what you have set aside for filing — still not an IRD payment by itself.
The plan is to connect via Akahu (or equivalent NZ open banking) for read access to match transactions, plus explicit consent for any set-aside transfer between your own accounts you turn on. Read-only feeds never move money by themselves. Follow release notes — connection is not live until we ship it.
No. The price you sign up at is the price you keep — forever. We don't raise prices on existing customers. That's a promise, not a marketing line.
