PaidYet is invoicing and payment tracking for self-employed tradespeople. There is no account and no sign-up: you open the app and start working. Everything below is in the app itself — on iPhone the sections are the tabs along the bottom, and on iPad and Mac they are the sidebar.

Set up your business

Open Settings ▸ Your business details and fill in your name, address and the way you want to be paid. Add your logo there too — it goes at the top of every invoice and quote, and you can crop, rotate and scale it. The same screen holds your default payment terms, your invoice and quote numbering, and the terms and conditions text that prints at the bottom of an invoice.

Customers

Customers holds the people you work for: their address, their contacts, and the jobs you have done for them. You can import a customer from the Contacts app — Apple’s picker hands PaidYet only the card you tap. A customer can have their own payment terms and their own rates, which then fill in by themselves on anything you make for them.

Jobs and the hours you work

A job belongs to a customer and gathers the work: the hours, the photos and the invoices. Tap Start timer when you begin and stop it when you finish; on iPhone the running timer also shows in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen, where Pause and Stop act on the same timer as in the app. You can also type a time entry by hand. When the work is done, Bill hours turns the entries into invoice lines at the right rate.

Job photos

Each job keeps its own photos, taken with the camera or chosen from your photo library. Group them into stages you name yourself — “Before”, “During”, “After”, or whatever suits the trade — and drag the stages into the order you want. You can export a job’s photos as a single zip file to send on.

Quotes

Quotes works the way invoices do: pick the customer, add the lines, share the PDF. A quote carries a valid-until date so it expires on its own. When the customer says yes, Mark accepted, then Create invoice carries the lines straight over — you do not retype anything.

Invoices and payments

Make an invoice from the Invoices section or from a job, then Share to send the PDF however you like — Messages, Mail, WhatsApp, anything in the share sheet. On a Mac you can print it or save the PDF instead. When the money arrives, Mark as paid; a part payment is fine, and the invoice keeps what is still outstanding. The Dashboard is the short answer to “who owes me”: the total outstanding, then what is overdue, what is due soon, and what was paid recently.

Items you bill for

Rather than typing the same line every time, keep a catalogue of it. On iPhone it is Settings ▸ Items you bill for; on iPad and Mac it is Catalogue in the sidebar. Each item has a price and a unit, and Settings ▸ Units is where you add units of your own.

Reminders

Turn on Due-date reminders in Settings and PaidYet notifies you before an invoice is due, on the day, and once it is late. The reminders are worked out on your device from your own invoices. Nothing is sent to your customer automatically — chasing is still your call.

iCloud sync

Sync with iCloud in Settings keeps your work on your other devices through the private database of your own iCloud account. We have no server and no access to any of it. Turning sync off leaves a copy on the device and stops syncing.

Exporting your data

Settings ▸ Export your data gives you everything, in whichever form you need: Spreadsheets (CSV) for customers, jobs, invoices, items and payments, which open in Numbers or Excel, and Backup (JSON) for the whole lot including your logo. You can limit the export to one tax year. The same Settings section can send a diagnostics log if something has gone wrong, or delete everything on the device.

On iPad and Mac

The same app, laid out for the bigger screen: a sidebar instead of tabs, and lists beside details. On a Mac the menu bar carries the work — File for a new invoice, customer, quote or item, Print… and Export…, Edit ▸ Find…, the View menu for the sections (⌘1 to ⌘5), Job ▸ Stop Timer, and Window ▸ PaidYet Window if you have closed the window and want it back. Settings is ⌘, as in any Mac app.
