Quote
Add labour and materials on site. GST and totals are worked out for you. Send a tidy PDF before you leave the driveway.
Book
Client says yes — they can even sign on your phone. Drop it into your calendar and get a reminder before you head off.
Invoice
Job done? One tap turns the quote into a tax invoice with your ABN and bank details.
Get paid
Record deposits and payments as they land. Overdue invoices stand out so nothing slips through.
Everything a one-person business needs. Nothing it doesn't.
Quotes & tax invoices
Professional PDFs with your business name, ABN, GST and payment details. Deposits, part payments and refunds handled properly.
Your week at a glance
Month and week views. Press and drag a job to another day to reschedule. Reminders before each job, or the night before.
Sign on the spot
Your client signs the quote on your phone. The signature goes straight onto the PDF and the job is ready to book.
Site photos & notes
Before-and-after photos on every job, plus private notes like gate codes and where the switchboard is. Notes never print.
Expenses & GST credits
Snap the receipt, tag it to a job, and see the GST you can claim each month — plus your real margin on every job.
Works with no signal
Under a house or out bush, it all still works. Your work backs up automatically when you're back in range, and follows you to your other phone or iPad.
Your price list
Save your hourly rate, call-out fee and usual materials once. Add them to any quote with a tap, plus discounts for pensioners or regulars.
Email quotes, invoices & receipts
Sent from your own email with the PDF attached and your bank details in the message. Copy payment details to text them, and the address fills itself in as you type.
BAS-ready, accountant-ready
Your quarter's G1, 1A and 1B worked out on a cash or accruals basis, profit for the financial year, and one tap to send your accountant every invoice, payment and receipt.

Made for the way tradies actually work.
Most job software is built for companies with an office and a dispatcher. Tradie Pocket Pal is built for you, your ute and your phone.
Tradie Pocket Pal is made in Australia by Paul Boyington.
It's built for sole traders because they're the ones left doing the paperwork at night. The big job-management apps assume an office, staff and a desk to sit at. This one assumes a phone, a ute and a job to get back to.
It's in testing now. Tell us what would make it work for you: hello@tradiepocketpal.com.au

Good questions.
When can I get it?
Tradie Pocket Pal is in testing now and coming soon to the App Store and Google Play. Pop your email in and we'll tell you the day it's out.
How much will it cost?
Every account starts with a 14-day free trial, and you don't need a credit card to try it. After that it's one simple subscription with everything included: no job caps, no invoice limits, no feature tiers. We'll announce the price at launch.
Does it do my tax?
It does the hard part. Tax invoices are done right, every expense has its receipt photo and GST, and the Tax & BAS screen works out your BAS figures and profit. One tap exports everything for your accountant or BAS agent. You (or they) still lodge with the ATO.
Which trades is it for?
Any trade that quotes and invoices jobs — sparkies, plumbers, chippies, painters, handymen, tilers, landscapers and more.
Can I use it outside Australia?
We're launching in Australia first, so quotes and invoices are set up for Australian dollars, GST and ABNs. Join the list wherever you are, and email hello@tradiepocketpal.com.au to tell us where you work. It helps us decide where to go next.
Do I need internet on the job?
No. Everything works offline. Your changes back up automatically as soon as you're back in range.
Where is my data kept?
On your phone, and backed up to secure servers in Sydney. Each account can only ever see its own data, and you can delete your account and everything in it from the app at any time.
Do I need an account?
Yes, and it takes seconds with Apple, Google or your email. Your account is what keeps your work backed up and lets you use it on your phone, iPad or a new phone without losing anything.
Get in early.
Quotes, jobs and invoices for tradies who work for themselves — coming soon to iPhone and Android, starting in Australia.
