InvoiceChase: AR tracker for tiny shops

A dead-simple overdue-invoice chaser for owners who run on spreadsheets

Problem
Small business owners keep asking the same thing across communities: how do you track unpaid invoices, due dates, who still owes you, and how do you follow up without feeling awkward? They currently use Excel or paper, and the real pain is not bookkeeping but nagging on time and forgetting who owes what. A flower shop owner asking about inventory confirms these micro-merchants have no dedicated software.
Solution
A minimal receivables ledger: enter client and amount, and it auto-sends reminder emails/SMS to clients on due dates while giving the owner a 'who to chase today' list. One tap to confirm sending, with polite, escalating templates.
Users
Micro-merchants, solo studios, freelancers, especially flowers/renovation/design businesses that bill after the work
MVP
Client and invoice CRUD with calendar view; auto-drafted reminder emails sendable in one tap; tiered overdue reminders (3/7/14 days) with tone templates; paid/unpaid status and simple AR total dashboard; CSV export for the accountant
Revenue
Monthly subscription per business (~$5–10/mo) with first month free; later add extra seats and SMS credit packs
Why now
AI makes CRUD apps cheap to build and incumbents ignore micro-merchants; demand is stable and willingness to pay is driven by 'avoid losing one invoice', which one person can ship in 2–3 weeks
