Describe it.
Get paid.
One sentence in. A finished invoice out, sent, and chased until the money lands. Books included. You do the work; FolioMate collects.
See it work
A sentence becomes a document.
Plain English in, a finished calculated invoice out, live, on its own.
How it works
Three steps. Under a minute.
Describe it
Type what the work was: hours, rates, the client, any tax. One plain sentence is enough.
FolioMate writes it
AI structures the line items, does the math, sets the dates, and drafts the document.
Edit & send
Fine-tune anything inline, pick a template, then download a PDF or send it on.
Autopilot
Then it gets you paid.
Sending the invoice is the easy part. FolioMate watches every one you send and chases it - a gentle nudge, a firm follow-up, a final notice - each already written, each one click away.
Recovered money shows up on your scoreboard. One chased invoice can cover years of Max.
Why FolioMate
Built to get you paid,
not keep you busy.
Invoice from a sentence
No templates to hunt through, no fields to tab between. Describe the work, or snap a photo, and FolioMate turns it into a clean, client-ready invoice in seconds.
Snap a receipt, books sorted
Photograph any receipt and the AI pulls the vendor, amount, date and category, and you just confirm. Your expenses keep themselves.
Know your profit instantly
Revenue minus expenses, live. Net profit, this month and year to date, the number that actually matters, with no spreadsheet to maintain.
Never lose money quietly
FolioMate flags it: uncategorized expenses that are a tax risk, invoices still unpaid, a profit dip this month. Export clean books to your accountant anytime.
Designs
Pick the outcome, not a layout.
Every design is built to do a job: get paid sooner, charge more, be remembered. Pick the outcome; the math takes care of itself.
The total IS the page. A number this loud does not sit in an inbox.
Dark paper, jeweled accent. Your rate reads like the obvious number, not the negotiable one.
Letterhead discipline and serif authority. Reads like a firm, bills like you.
Editorial serif on gallery paper. Send it once and your brand sticks.
+ 96 more designs inside the editor, and every one recolours to your brand.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Is FolioMate really free?+
Try it free with no account - three documents, five starter designs, AI generation and PDF export. Paid plans start at $35/mo (Pro) with a 14-day free trial; add a card and cancel anytime before it ends to pay nothing. Max ($80/mo) adds full Autopilot collections plus 50 designs including secret high-conversion ones; Business ($125/mo) is unlimited with the Pro Chaser and the best secret designs.
Is this an invoice tool or a bookkeeper?+
Both. That's the point. Invoice and get paid on the income side; snap receipts and track expenses on the other; and FolioMate shows your live net profit and flags tax risks. One place, no spreadsheet.
What can the AI actually read?+
Plain English, voice, and photos. For invoices it pulls the client, line items, rates and dates; for receipts it pulls the vendor, amount, date and category. You always confirm before it's saved.
Where is my data stored?+
In your account, protected by row-level security, so only you can read it. Without an account it stays in your browser, and you can export everything (documents and books) to CSV any time.
Can I send invoices and pay-links to clients?+
Yes. Export a clean PDF, email it, or share a smart link where the client can view, accept, and pay you through your own PayPal / Stripe / Wise. FolioMate never holds your money.
What if I want to cancel?+
Cancel in one click from Billing. You keep Pro until the period ends, then drop to free. Nothing is ever deleted, and your books stay exportable.
