No sign-up required

You do not need an email address or password to track time. Install the app and allow background location access to start recording.

Set up location access

Allow location access when the app is closed. TradesTimer records stops and trips without requiring you to create each job site in advance.

History storage

TradesTimer stores history on your phone. Address lookups send coordinates to an address provider. You choose where to share exports.

FAQ

Do I need to manually start a timer for each job?

No, the app automatically detects when you arrive at a jobsite and when you leave.

How do I get my mileage data for tax time?

You can export your recorded trips and distances directly from the app for your records.
