What’s new in Flowara

Every update, improvement, and fix — in the order they shipped. Flowara gets better with every release.

v 2.5 Latest October 2026
Swiss QR-Bill, Peppol Improvements & Time Entry Simplification
New
🇨🇭 Swiss QR-Bill
Invoices destined for Swiss clients now include a QR-bill payment slip, with DD.MM.YYYY date formatting applied automatically when a Swiss address is detected.
Improvement
🌐 Peppol E-Invoicing Improvements
The Peppol status display is clearer, retries are now safe and idempotent, and a LIVE/TEST indicator shows which environment your Invoro account is operating in.
Improvement
⏱ Time Entry Simplified
You can now enter time as hours and minutes directly — no need to set a start and end time. Type 2 hours or 120 minutes and save. Editing a duration now works correctly; previously, the minutes field was ignored on existing entries.
Also in this release
  • Restoring a backup no longer shows a false “corrupted database” error
  • Restoring a backup on a new computer now correctly preserves your Pro activation
v 2.4 October 2026
Peppol E-Invoicing, Flowara Mail Service & Partial Payments
New
🌐 Peppol E-Invoicing
Send invoices directly to your clients over the Peppol network — the standard B2B e-invoicing system now mandatory in Belgium and being phased in across France. Works with Invoro and is included free in every plan. Flowara looks up your clients’ Peppol IDs in the public Peppol Directory automatically. Your credentials, your billing with Invoro directly — Flowara never takes a cut.
New
📧 Flowara Mail Service
Send invoices and estimates without setting up an email server. Just enter your name and email address in Settings → Email — replies go straight to your own inbox. Your own SMTP server is still fully supported.
New
💶 Partial Payments
Record part-payments on an invoice and see how much has been paid and how much is still owed at a glance. Payment reminders automatically ask only for the remaining balance and keep going until the invoice is fully paid.
New
🇬🇧 UK Bank Details
Add your sort code in Settings → Company and it appears on invoices next to your account number — exactly as UK clients expect.
Also in this release
  • Dates on invoices, estimates, proposals and reminder emails now use the date format you chose in Settings
  • Amounts in reminder emails now use your currency format from Settings
  • Custom invoice templates: placeholders such as client name, due date, contact details and company logo are now filled in correctly
  • Invoice emails now greet your client by name and include the due date
  • Invoices sent by Peppol are now marked as Sent automatically
  • Clearer message if Flowara Mail Service is temporarily unavailable
v 2.3.10 September 2026
Document Preview, International Billing & Reliability
New
👁 Preview Documents In-App
Invoices, estimates, and proposals now open in a built-in preview instead of your system’s print dialog, so you can review before sending without leaving Flowara.
New
🌍 European Currency Formatting
Set your invoices to display amounts the way your region expects: symbol after the amount, comma as the decimal separator, space as the thousands separator (Settings → Company).
New
💰 Flexible Deposit Amounts
When converting an estimate to an invoice, you can now set the deposit as a fixed amount instead of only a percentage.
New
📅 Payment Date Picker
“Mark as Paid” and the invoice edit form now let you record the actual date a payment was received, instead of defaulting to today.
New
🍁 Dual-Tax Support (GST + QST)
For regions like Canada that require two separate taxes on the same line item, Flowara now supports a second independent tax rate, shown as its own row on invoices and in tax reports. Opt-in, off by default.
New
🏦 Variable/Constant Symbol
New opt-in setting for Czech and Slovak users so banks can automatically match incoming payments to the right invoice.
Improvement
✅ More Reliable Subscription Status
Flowara now checks your local App Store receipt to detect a cancelled subscription even without a network connection, so Pro access stays accurate.
v 2.3.5 August 2026
AI Reminders, Gantt Enhancements & Time Tracking
New
🤖 AI Invoice Reminders
Flowara drafts payment reminder emails for overdue invoices using your preferred AI (Claude, GPT-4, or local Ollama). Review and approve before anything is sent — you stay in control.
New
📊 Gantt Auto-Schedule
Auto-schedule fills in task dates based on dependencies and working days so you don’t have to move each task manually when something shifts.
New
🖥 Background App Capture
Flowara can silently watch which app and browser tab you’re working in and map it to your active project — so your timesheet fills itself in without interrupting your flow.
New
🗣 Natural Language Time Entry
Type “3h design work” or “90 minutes client call” and Flowara parses it into a time entry linked to the right project.
v 2.3 July 2026
Windows Launch, Gantt & Project Management
New
🪟 Windows App
Flowara is now available on Windows 10 and 11 via the Microsoft Store. Same local SQLite database, same feature set — your data stays on your machine on both platforms.
New
📅 Gantt Chart
A full Gantt chart with critical path highlighting, drag-to-reschedule, task dependencies, milestones, and a dependency cascade — so when one task moves, everything downstream updates automatically.
New
⚡ Generate Tasks from Estimate
Turn estimate line items into project tasks in one click. Use direct mode (instant) or AI-enhanced mode — the AI expands each line item into actionable sub-tasks.
New
🎨 Custom Task Statuses
Define global custom statuses in Settings → Tasks, each with its own colour. Custom statuses appear as Kanban columns, Gantt swimlanes, and coloured badges throughout the app.
New
☁️ iCloud Drive Sync
Store your database in iCloud Drive and seamlessly access Flowara from any of your Macs. A built-in lock file prevents conflicts.
Also in this release
  • Kanban column visibility toggle — hide or show any status column from the toolbar
  • Task multi-select and bulk actions — mark done, archive, or delete multiple tasks at once
  • Default payment terms setting — pre-fills on every new invoice
  • Native confirm dialogs replacing browser confirm() calls
  • macOS App Nap fix — timers no longer freeze after inactivity
  • Universal macOS build — proper universal binary for Apple Silicon and Intel
v 2.2 May 2026
Email, Backup & Billing Enhancements
New
📬 CC Contacts on Outgoing Emails
When sending an invoice, estimate, or proposal, a contact picker lets you CC any of the client’s linked contacts.
New
📎 Timesheet PDF Attachment
Optionally attach a timesheet PDF when emailing an invoice — a detailed breakdown of all time entries logged to the project.
Improvement
💾 Backup as .zip Archive
Backups now export as a .zip containing your SQLite database and all linked project files. Restore accepts both new .zip archives and legacy .db files.
New
🍅 Pomodoro Timer
A configurable Pomodoro timer built into Time Tracking — work sessions, short breaks, and long breaks, with macOS notifications at each transition.
New
🪟 Minimizable Forms
Invoice, estimate, proposal, and expense forms can be minimized to a dock at the bottom of the screen — Gmail-style.
v 2.1 April 2026
Proposals & Deposit Tracking
New
📋 Proposal Builder
Build professional proposals with rich content blocks, pricing tables, a cover page, and company branding. Link proposals to projects and track deposit payments.
New
💰 Deposit Invoices from Estimates
Invoice a partial deposit against an estimate without closing it. When the work is done, issue a balance invoice that automatically deducts the deposit in the PDF.
New
🔄 Retainer & Advance Invoices
Bill clients upfront with no linked estimate. Time and tasks consumed against the project reduce the advance balance.
Improvement
💚 Client Health Score Rewrite
The A–D health score now factors in payment latency more precisely. Scores better reflect real client behaviour and recover faster when a client pays up.
