draft sent accepted paid

Export Anywhere

Copy as a formatted PNG image, paste as tab-separated data into Excel or Google Sheets, or save as a PDF invoice.

Percentage Rows

Write VAT 20% and it computes against the running total of every row above. Perfect for tax, commission, or markup.

Menu Bar Native

Lives in your menu bar. Opens instantly, closes when you click away. No Dock icon, no windows — zero friction.

Quantity × Rate

Write Consulting 5×1200 to multiply a quantity by a unit price. Exports and PDFs show the breakdown as a sub-annotation.

Client Contact Book

Save clients to a shared book and fill contact details with one tap — no re-typing names, emails, or addresses across documents.

PICK SAVE

Search Documents

Instantly filter documents by name, client name, or company with the search toggle at the top of the list. Results update as you type.

Time Tracker

Start a timer or log hours manually, organised by project. Bill tracked entries directly as line items into any document — amounts, rates, and descriptions included.

START STOP → bill to doc

Voice Dictation

Tap the mic and speak your line items. Numbers auto-convert to digits, quantities format as 5×1200, and saying "next row" jumps to the next line.

Multi-currency

32 currencies.
One document.

Mix currencies freely within a single document. TYPECLERK fetches live rates and converts every foreign-currency row to your base currency before computing the total.

Rates provided by the fawaz Ahmed Currency API — free, no API key required.

Simple by design

Two fields.
Infinite flexibility.

Creating a document takes seconds. Name it, pick a base currency, start writing rows. TYPECLERK handles the math.

Type any ISO currency code — GBP, CLP, JPY, or any of 32 supported currencies

Validation confirms the code is supported before you save

Change the name later with a right-click → Rename, drag into a folder anytime

Time Tracker

Track hours. Bill in one tap.

Log time against colour-coded projects with a running timer or a manual hours field. When it's time to invoice, insert entries directly as line items — with description, duration, and rate — into any document you choose.

Hands-free.

"Five times twelve hundred" auto-converts to 5×1200 — commas and grouping stripped automatically

Fully on-device — uses Apple's built-in Speech Recognition, nothing leaves your Mac

Press Enter mid-dictation to anchor to the next line — the transcript follows seamlessly
