Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about Contractors Pocket Secretary.

What is Contractors Pocket Secretary?

An Android app for solo tradespeople. It clocks you in when you arrive at a job and out when you leave, files your receipts to the right job, and turns your unbilled hours and expenses into a PDF invoice in one tap.

What phones does it run on?

Android. Get it from Google Play.

Is it for crews or just me?

It's built for one person running their own jobs.

Does it cost anything?

It's free to download from Google Play. There's an optional Premium subscription, paid through Google Play. There are no ads.

Do I need to sign up?

No. The app sets up an anonymous account the first time you open it. If you want to use your work on another device, you can link a Google account later.

How does automatic clock-in work?

You pin each job site. When your phone arrives within about 150 meters of the pin, the app clocks you in. When you leave, it can clock you out or ask you to. See how auto clock-in works for the details.

Does it track where I go all day?

No. It only watches for arriving at and leaving the job sites you pinned. It doesn't save a continuous GPS history. You can turn location off at any time and clock in and out by hand.

What if it gets a time wrong?

Edit it. Nothing is locked just because it was captured automatically. Only work you've already billed is held, so your invoices stay true.

How do receipts work?

Snap a photo of the receipt. The app reads the total right on your phone and files the expense to the job you're on. The photo is stored so you can look at it later. More on receipts and job expenses.

What's on the invoice?

Your hours and expenses for the job, with your business details from your company profile, like your business name, license number and tax settings. It's a PDF you can send to your client. More on how invoicing works.

Does it work without signal?

Yes. It works offline.

What languages does it support?

English and Spanish.

How do I delete my data?

Email datadelete@pocketsecretary.io with the Support ID from Settings → Support in the app. Your records are deleted within 30 days and you'll get an email when it's done. The privacy policy has the details.
