XeroBoost: Shortcuts for Xero

XeroBoost: The Productivity Layer for Xero

If you spend your day in Xero, you know the drill — clicking through menus to get to the same pages, switching between client organisations, downloading invoices and manually renaming them, losing track of where you were. XeroBoost fixes all of that without ever leaving your browser.

---
NAVIGATE XERO IN SECONDS

The XeroBoost sidebar puts 55+ Xero pages one click away — invoices, bills, bank reconciliation, reports, contacts, payroll, and more. Pin your most-used shortcuts to the top, drag to reorder them, and collapse the sidebar when you need screen space.

Press Ctrl+K (or Cmd+K on Mac) to open the smart search overlay. Type any Xero page name and jump straight there — no more hunting through menus.

---
KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS FOR EVERY XERO PAGE

Stop reaching for the mouse. XeroBoost adds keyboard shortcuts across Xero:

• Alt+I — New Invoice
• Alt+B — New Bill
• Alt+C — Contacts
• Alt+R — Reports
• Alt+P — Profit & Loss
• Alt+S — Balance Sheet
• And many more — press Alt+/ to see the full list

Remap any shortcut to match your workflow. The built-in shortcut trainer tracks your usage and guides you toward muscle memory.

CLIENT SWITCHER — JUMP BETWEEN ORGANISATIONS INSTANTLY

Managing multiple Xero organisations? The client switcher remembers every org you've visited, shows your recent activity within each one, and lets you jump between them in two clicks. Colour-code clients to tell them apart at a glance, star your most important ones, and filter by name with instant search.

INVOICE PDF AUTO-RENAME

When you download an invoice or bill PDF from Xero, XeroBoost automatically renames it using a template you define. Instead of "INV-1055.pdf" cluttering your downloads folder, get "Acme Corp - INV-1055 - 2024-06-15.pdf" — organised and ready to file.

Customise the filename template with any combination of:
• {ContactName} — the client's name
• {InvoiceNumber} — e.g. INV-1055
• {Date} — the invoice date
• {YearMonth} — for monthly folder filing
• {Amount} — the invoice total
• {CompanyName} — your organisation name

---
QUICK CAPTURE — NEVER LOSE A THOUGHT

The floating capture button lets you save anything without breaking your flow:

• Bookmarks — save any Xero page and jump back with a keyboard shortcut
• Memos — typed notes attached to the current page
• Screenshots — capture the visible tab instantly
• Voice notes — record audio directly in the browser

All captures are stored locally in your browser. Access them from the sidebar or the captures panel.

---
STICKY NOTES

Pin draggable sticky notes to any Xero page — leave reminders on a client's invoice list, flag a reconciliation item, or note a follow-up task. Notes stay attached to the page URL so they reappear when you return.

---
DARK MODE & COMPANY THEMING

Switch between light, dark, and auto (follows your system preference) themes. Enable dynamic company theming to give each client organisation a distinct sidebar colour — useful when jumping between tabs for different clients.

---
