What it does
Issue Doc is a desktop app for issuing invoices, estimates and other business documents on your own letterhead. There is no account, no server and no sync; your records stay on your computer.
Seven document types, and the type decides what shows
Invoice, Estimate, Credit note, Delivery note, Payment receipt, Purchase order and Blank, each with its own set of blocks. A Payment receipt carries no line table, because it records a date, an amount, a method and a reference. A Delivery note keeps its table but drops totals, tax and payment blocks. Each type carries what it is for rather than hiding fields on a shared layout.
The preview is the PDF
One compile produces both the preview and the issued PDF from the same document. The position of every block is read back off that same compiled document, so the two cannot drift apart, and a block that overflows is caught by measuring its real content rather than trusting a fixed ratio.
Numbers you can trust, including when something goes wrong
Issuing a document and allocating its number happen in one transaction, so a failed compile or a failed write uses up no number and leaves no half-issued draft. A number already taken is stepped past with a warning. Regenerating a PDF after you edit your profile gives byte-identical output rather than a new document.
Tax and totals without rounding drift
Every amount is held as a whole number or an exact decimal, never as a floating-point value. Tax is rounded once per line and the rounded lines are added up, rather than rounded again at the total.
Latin-script languages and Arabic, on the page
The document itself can be written in any Latin-script language, or in Arabic laid out right to left, with a line table whose columns mirror correctly. The app's own interface is in English. The fonts ship with the app and are checked at every build, so the wrong font cannot slip in.
No screenshot right now. Every image here uses synthetic data only, and has to match what the software currently does. Until a frame passes both tests, this space stays empty.
Questions
Does Issue Doc upload my documents or connect to anything?
Not measured yet. The measurement of what Issue Doc sends over a network has not been taken, and this page makes no claim either way until it has.
Is it accounting software?
No. It keeps no ledger, posts no journal entries and prepares no tax return.
Does it produce e-invoices for a government e-invoicing system?
No. It produces PDF documents.
Is there a subscription?
No. One price, paid once.
If I buy it on the Microsoft Store, does it work on my Mac too?
No. A purchase on one store does not unlock the app on the other.
Is there a Mac version I can use today?
Not yet. A Mac version is planned and has not been built.
Does the PIN protect my records if my laptop is stolen?
No. The PIN keeps casual eyes out. It is not encryption.
Can I see a screenshot?
Not yet. The editor is still being built, so there is nothing to capture.
Privacy
What it collects: Issue Doc has no account and no login, so it collects nothing about you beyond what you type in. What it keeps is your own business data, in a local database on your computer: your own profile details (name, address, tax ids and a payment note) and the names, addresses and emails of the clients and suppliers you record. What leaves your machine: Not measured yet. What Issue Doc sends over a network, if anything, has not been measured, and this page makes no claim either way until it has. Its window is drawn by a component of the operating system that Issue Doc does not write, and that component has not been measured either.
What it costs
Windows: a 30-day trial run by Microsoft, with every feature. Mac: free for 30 days with every feature, then a one-time purchase to keep issuing.
Pricing is set at release. It will be a one-time price, not a subscription.
