How it works

Record, review, and export

01

Travel to a job

TradesTimer detects movement and records a trip in the background.

02

Work on site

After a few minutes in one place, TradesTimer records a stop.

03

Review and export your hours

Label stops, check times, and select billable visits. Export rounded hours for the invoicing tool you use.

From the founder

Why I built TradesTimer

I kept dates, addresses, and hours in notebooks while working for contractors. If I forgot to record a visit, I had to estimate it later. Those missing details could mean unbilled work.

My experience includes fencing, framing, renovations, roofing, siding, decks, concrete, drywall, and painting.

Later, I managed orders, parts, invoices, and time tracking for an electrical contractor with about ten field workers. Missed clock-ins and incorrect job codes meant reviewing days from memory before preparing invoices.

I built TradesTimer to record stops and trips without a timer. You review the recorded times, add job names, and select billable visits before preparing an invoice.
