Spanner Today screen: a map of the day’s jobs with the route, the next job and who to see later

How it works

Built for the van, not the office.

It saves to the phone first. Built for the sole trader. Backup is there if you drop the phone, or you want it on a laptop.

  1. Today screen: a map of the day’s jobs with the route, and the next job with call and directions
    01

    Open Today

    Who you’re seeing, where they are, what’s unpaid. Ring them or get directions without leaving the screen.

  2. Quotes list with sent and draft quotes
    02

    Quote and invoice from the van

    Knock up a quote or invoice on the phone, with your logo and bank details. Send the PDF on WhatsApp. No signal needed.

  3. Open invoices, including overdue ones ready to chase
    03

    Chase what’s overdue

    One tap sends a nudge with the invoice on it. A widget on the home screen shows the next job and what’s unpaid.

Features

The day you already do. Less paper.

The bits you already do between jobs. Not a team system, and not priced like one.

  • Works with no signal

    Jobs, photos, quotes and invoices save on the phone. They sync when you get bars.

  • Call and directions

    The number and the address are already on the job. Tap to ring them or open maps.

  • One-tap chase

    Overdue invoices sit on Today. Share a chase with the PDF on it — no writing a new message.

  • Home-screen widget

    Next job and what’s unpaid, without unlocking the app.

  • Your paperwork, not a template

    Your logo, your bank details, on a quote or invoice they can actually pay.

  • Backup if you want it

    If the phone goes, the books don’t. Open the same jobs on a laptop.

  • Kits of frequent items

    Boiler swap as one tap. Your usual labour and parts, copied onto the quote.

  • Deposit then balance

    Take a deposit to book the job. The rest is a balance invoice when you’re done.

  • Due back on Today

    Next year’s boiler service lives on the job. It shows on Today when it’s due, not a year early.

FAQ

A few questions

Still unsure? Talk to Josh. A real person answers.

Is Tradify overkill if it’s just me?

Often. Tradify is built for trade businesses and charges per user. Spanner is jobs, quotes and invoices on the phone for the sole trader — £12 a month, no hidden costs. We don’t do staff logins, accounting sync or certificates. If you need those, they’re the better fit. If you don’t, you shouldn’t pay for them.

Is this for a team?

No. It’s for you on your own — one price. Not for a firm with staff.

Does it work without signal?

Yes. The day in the van lives on the phone. Backup and the laptop site need a connection. You don’t.

What do I get for free?

3 jobs on the go and 10 quotes a month. Anything you’ve already raised stays readable if you don’t upgrade.

How much is Spanner Pro?

£12 a month or £99.99 a year — 4 months free. Apple or Google bill you. Unlimited jobs, quotes and invoices, and backup if you want it. Restore Purchases if you change phone. See pricing.

Where is my data?

On your phone. If you turn backup on we keep a copy in the EU, so you can get it back or open it at portal.spanner.pro. See the privacy policy.

When can I download it?

Not on the stores yet. Email josh@spanner.pro and I’ll tell you when the listings go live.
