Our second iPhone application, MiniBooks, is now available in the Apple App Store.  MiniBooks is invoicing software for small businesses built on top of the popular web application FreshBooks.  The final product ended up being a lot more ambitious than our original concept, and therefore taking a lot more time than we’d planned, but I’m very, very pleased with the result.  MiniBooks is by far the most beautiful piece of software we’ve ever built.  In fact, I’d go so far as to say it’s one of the nicest looking pieces of productivity/business software available for the iPhone.  Of course, if I was responsible for the design, it would look like this, so I give most of the credit to Groovy Squared’s lead designer, James.

Enough shameless bragging.  Time to tell you about the software.  For those of you who don’t know about FreshBooks, it’s a great web app for small businesses that need to generate invoices.  It’s simple, well designed, and affordable (they even have a free account for really small companies).  The only thing missing is a good way to interface with FreshBooks on the go.

That’s where MiniBooks comes in.  MiniBooks gives users full access to their clients and invoices directly from their iPhone.  Meet a potential client in the subway?  No problem, add them right there.  Just deposited a payment at the bank?  Apply it to the appropriate invoice on the spot.  Finishing up a project at a client site?  Send them an invoice before you leave the building.  Best of all, your data syncs to the phone, so when your cell phone provider’s crappy network cuts out, you aren’t left high and dry.  For a complete product description, visit the MiniBooks website or its App Store product page.

And this is just the beginning!  We’ll be cranking out support for estimates, expenses, and projects just as fast as our little fingers can type.  Come back often to see what’s going on with development.  Even better, after you’ve bought MiniBooks, let us know what you think.  We have a lot of ideas for the future, but we can’t think of everything, so help us out.

Go forth, eager iPhone users, and invoice your little hearts out.
