Graftit

Graftit is a Windows desktop application for freelancers, consultants, and sole traders who want a fast, private, and affordable alternative to cloud accounting software. Unlike browser-based tools, Graftit runs entirely on your machine. Your financial data is never sent to Graftit's servers — it stays local, with optional sync to your own OneDrive, Dropbox, or Google Drive. There's no subscription lock-in to your own records. Time tracking — Start a timer or log time manually. Multiple clients, multiple rate types, per-rate rounding. Required descriptions keep records airtight. Convert billable hours directly to invoices in one click. Mileage — Log journeys by postcode. HMRC AMAP rates built in (45p/mile for the first 10,000 miles, 25p thereafter) with automatic threshold tracking across the tax year. Bill clients or claim HMRC relief — or both. Expenses — Snap a receipt and let OCR do the reading. Categories mapped to HMRC allowable expense groups. Push expenses directly to Xero or export for your accountant. Invoicing — Generate professional PDF invoices. Fixed-price milestones, variation management, client PO codes. Send via your existing email client — no locked-in sending system. Xero integration — Live two-way OAuth sync. Invoices, expenses, and mileage push directly to Xero. Supplier and client contacts sync both ways. Built-in guided tours — Every module has a step-by-step walkthrough so you're never stuck reading a manual. Priced at £10/month or £100/year. 15-day free trial, no credit card required.
