Trust & Data
This is client data — invoices, rates, project details. You shouldn't trust any tool (including this one) blindly. Here's everything you need to verify HonestBill instead.
Who operates HonestBill
HonestBill is built and operated by OD Development, a small independent studio. There's a real person accountable for it — reach us by opening an issue on the public repo (or email hello@honestbill.app). No anonymous shell; the project, its history, and its maintainer are all public on GitHub.
Where your data lives & how it's secured
Data is stored in a managed PostgreSQL database (Neon), encrypted in transit (TLS). Neon runs automated, point-in-time backups. We don't sell data, run ad/tracking pixels, or share it with advertisers.
Open source — audit it or run it yourself
The entire app is open source under AGPL-3.0. You can read every line, verify exactly how your data is handled, and — if you'd rather your data never leave your own servers — self-host it. There's no closed black box to trust.
Your data can always leave
One-click export of your whole workspace (clients, projects, time, expenses, invoices) as open JSON — anytime, no paywall. Try it below. Lock-in is the thing this product exists to prevent.
Subprocessors
Neon (database hosting), Vercel (application hosting), and PayPal (founding-member payments only). That's the full list.
Honest status: HonestBill is early. The hosted app is currently single-workspace and multi-user authentication is still in progress — so don't put real client data into the hosted demo yet. If you need it today, self-host from the repo; otherwise reserve a founding spot and we'll tell you the moment it's production-ready.
