Written by the checker for a first version. Paste it into Vibecode as is, or change it to make the app yours.
Build a web app for small business owners who need simple invoicing and expense tracking. The main screen should show this month's paid invoice income, expenses, net income and unpaid invoices. Let me create an invoice with customer details, line items and a due date, then open it and mark it paid. Let me add an expense with a date, amount and category. Include a month filter for the summary. Use a clean white layout with navy text, green accents and clear tables. Start with realistic sample customers, invoices and expenses, and save edits locally. Keep this first version focused on manual tracking without bank connections or payment processing.

Vibecode builds a first version from one prompt, and the checker would start with these parts: create invoices and mark them paid; enter and categorize expenses; view a monthly income-and-expense summary. Plan on a weekend for a working first version with its real features.
Vibecode's first build is free for new accounts that sign up with Google or Apple on the web or the iPhone app, as the account's first project: one build of about 10 minutes with up to 3 features, on sample data. After that you need credits, from a paid plan or auto-reload. For your own version of Wave, the checker lists these costs: Vibecode Plus ($20 a month); Stripe account (fees per payment).
Wave provides established payment processing relationships, payment security certification and a support team that a homemade accounting app would not inherit. A version you build yourself won't have these: Wave's payment processing relationships; Wave's PCI security certification; Wave's customer support team.
