Freelancing in Germany comes with a stack of recurring tasks: invoices, offers, time tracking, tax login and insurance. This list puts together the iPhone apps that keep that paperwork under control. Lexware, Timery and ElsterSecure are three of the anchors here: accounting software with German compliance, a polished time tracker, and the official ELSTER authentication app. As of March 2026, Lexware includes a new e-invoice feature for the legal requirement in force since 2025, and Invoice Ninja remains a free alternative. The list is aimed at freelancers and sole traders in Germany who want to keep their paperwork to around half an hour a week rather than letting it take over the weekend.
