Documentation

Get Invoxa CRM installed, encrypted, shared on your LAN, and backed up.

1. Installation

Download the installer for your OS from the download page. On first launch, Invoxa requires a vault passphrase — the app is not usable without encryption enabled. Choose a passphrase you can store in a password manager.

2. Everyday usage

  • Create customers with contact fields and tags.
  • Add interactions on the timeline; set reminders when you need a nudge.
  • Attach files to a customer when you store contracts or quotes.
  • Use Settings to download a CSV template, import contacts, or export (passphrase confirmed when the vault is on).
  • Lock the vault when stepping away; unlock to continue.

3. Intranet mode

  1. On the Host machine, enable Host mode and note the LAN address / port.
  2. Copy the bearer token into client machines (Settings → Client).
  3. Optionally restrict peers with an IP or CIDR whitelist.
  4. Clients connect only on the LAN — no public internet required.

Team tiers unlock LAN mode. Standalone licenses remain single-device offline.

4. Licensing

Without a license you can create up to 10 customers (CSV import counts). After purchase you receive a signed .lic file — activate it in Settings. Seat tiers: Standalone (1), Team (5), Large Team (25), Enterprise (custom). Deactivate a device before moving a seat.

5. Data backup

  • Export CSV regularly for portable backups.
  • Back up encrypted vault files from the app data directory when the vault is sealed.
  • Store passphrase and license file separately from the backup media.
  • Test restore on a spare machine before you need it.

6. FAQ

Does Invoxa need the internet?

No for core CRM and LAN sharing. Internet is only needed to download the app or complete a purchase.

Where is my data stored?

On the local machine (Host in intranet mode). Invoxa does not require uploading contacts to a cloud CRM.

What if I forget the passphrase?

Encrypted data cannot be recovered without the passphrase. Keep it in a password manager.
