Good to know

For freelancers, self-employed people and small businesses in Germany who write invoices, track time and collect receipts. Whether you use the small business rule (section 19 UStG) or charge VAT, Folnaro adapts to you through a few questions on first launch.

Folnaro runs on any Mac with macOS 26 or later.

Your purchases apply to every Mac with your Apple Account. If you turn on sync in Settings > iCloud, your data is the same on every Mac with your iCloud account. Without sync it lives on one Mac, and to move to a new Mac you restore a backup.

Yes. Folnaro brings over customers, products and invoices from SumUp Invoices, Lexware Office (formerly lexoffice) and sevDesk, and customers and products from FastBill as CSV. Before saving, Folnaro shows a preview and reconciles the totals; finalized invoices keep their numbers and your number series continue.

Download Folnaro from the Mac App Store and use every feature for 30 days. There is no account and you enter no payment details. The 30 days count from your first download, even if you reinstall the app later.

Your data stays yours. You can still view, search, print, export and back up everything, and cancel incorrect invoices. Only creating and finalizing new documents, expenses and time entries needs a subscription or the one-time purchase. Receipts are kept for 8 years and books for 10, so access stays.

Yes. You can buy Folnaro once for €199.99, or subscribe for €7.99 a month or €79.99 a year. Either way you try it free for 30 days first.

Yes. The one-time purchase and the subscription unlock exactly the same features. There are no tiers and no add-ons. You can cancel the subscription any time.

In the subscription settings of your Apple Account, from Folnaro's settings or in the App Store under your account. The subscription runs until the end of the paid period.

Yes. The subscription and the one-time purchase support Apple Family Sharing.

Folnaro is sold by Apple. You find the receipt for every purchase in your Apple Account under purchase history.

Yes. Folnaro creates XRechnung and ZUGFeRD and reads incoming e-invoices. That prepares you for the duty to receive them since 2025 and the step by step duty to issue them from 2027.

Folnaro is built on GoBD principles: numbers are assigned without gaps when you finalize, finalized documents cannot change, corrections go through a cancellation invoice and changes are logged. A template for your procedure documentation is included. You remain responsible for proper bookkeeping; Folnaro claims no certification.

No. Folnaro prepares your records and creates a package with DATEV export, receipts and reports. The tax assessment stays with you and your tax advisor.

Download the statement as CAMT, MT940 or CSV, as your bank offers it, and import it. Folnaro then suggests the matching invoice or receipt for every transaction.

In a database on your Mac. Folnaro has no user account, no server for your data and no tracking. We cannot see your data. We only receive feedback you send us from the app yourself. Details are in the privacy policy.

The Model Context Protocol is an open standard through which agents work with apps. Folnaro ships with a helper that your agent starts locally. With it, the agent can for example look up open invoices or create drafts.

Not on its own. Folnaro sends your data to no one, and receipt recognition runs on your Mac. If you connect an agent, it reads the data it needs for your request. Whether it sends that data to its provider depends on the agent you choose.

Only if you allow it. You grant write access area by area in the settings, and finalizing is a permission of its own. Every change an agent makes is logged with its name.
