Do not mistake the interface for the product. FreeAgent's durable value is banking, compliance, trust, which a solo one-shot build cannot reproduce responsibly. The prompt therefore builds only the closest honest personal consolation tool.

Build a comprehensive small business accounting and admin app inspired by FreeAgent. Stack: Next.js 15, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, SQLite, and Drizzle ORM. ### Core Features to Implement: 1. **Invoicing & Estimates:** - Create and manage professional estimates and invoices. - Support line items, taxes, and automatic sequential invoice numbering. - Simulate payment tracking (mark as paid manually) and overdue invoice tracking. 2. **Expense & Receipt Management:** - Build a "Smart Capture" module where users upload receipt photos (stored locally). - Automatically link uploaded receipts to manually entered or imported bank transactions. 3. **Project & Time Tracking:** - Implement a built-in stopwatch and manual time logging for billable hours. - Allow users to convert tracked time directly into itemized invoice lines. - Monitor project profitability (income vs. expenses and time spent). 4. **Radar Dashboard & Insights:** - Build a "Radar" dashboard providing a personalized "Admin To-Do List" (e.g., "3 invoices overdue", "5 uncategorized transactions"). - Display trend spotting for income and expenses over the last 12 months. 5. **Tax & Mileage:** - Include a simple Tax Timeline showing estimated upcoming local tax deadlines. - Implement a mileage tracker for business trips. ### Technical Requirements: - The app must run entirely locally with data stored in SQLite. - Do not add telemetry, ads, or external authentication. - Support robust CSV import for bank feeds and full data export. - Exclude live bank feeds, real payment processing, and official tax submission APIs. - Provide a detailed README on how to run, test, and backup the application locally.
