Weekly homes, biweekly offices, the occasional deep clean or move-out — a cleaning business is a calendar of repeat visits and a lot of small invoices. Workeey runs it from your phone: book the week, invoice each clean on the way out, and let email reminders chase the slow payers. Free forever, works offline.
A cleaning day is home after home, back to back, with tight windows and a client who needs you gone before the kids are back from school. Desktop office software was never built for that — it assumes a dispatcher and a screen you can't reach with gloves on. Workeey is built for the phone you carry between the car and the front door. Open it and the day is already laid out: every clean, every time slot, in the order you'll drive them, so you're never guessing which house comes next.
Your schedule shows the day as time slots, from and to, and adding a job is also where you capture the client, the address, and the access notes that make or break a clean — the lockbox code, the alarm, the cat that bolts, which products they insist on. The day view auto-expands to whatever you've booked, so a packed morning of turnovers and a light afternoon both read clearly without pinching and scrolling. Everything you need to walk in and start is on one screen before you knock.
Cleaning runs on the standing appointment — weekly, biweekly, monthly, the same homes and offices on repeat. Put those recurring visits on your Google Calendar and they sync both ways into Workeey, so the calendar you already glance at and the app you bill from always agree. Edit a time in either place and it writes back, near-instant. That two-way sync is genuinely better than what the big names offer: Jobber is one-way, Housecall Pro pushes one direction, and ServiceTitan doesn't sync at all.
Each visit becomes a job you can invoice, and because the client's record travels with them, a new week never means re-entering the door code or re-explaining that the office wants the break room done last. Move a Tuesday clean to Thursday because a client's out of town, and it shifts everywhere at once. The point is that your week stops living in three places — a paper book, your texts, and your memory — and starts living in one you can actually trust before you drive across town.
The best time to bill a clean is the second it's done, keys still in your hand. From a finished job, invoicing is one tap: the client, the line items, your tax rate, and the job photos all carry over as proof. It's numbered automatically so your books stay in order, and statuses run from draft to sent to paid, with overdue flagged so a forgotten office invoice doesn't sit for a month. For a one-time deep clean or a move-out, start a blank invoice and build it line by line in a minute.
No signal in a basement unit or a concrete parking garage? Workeey works offline. The invoice waits in a durable queue and sends itself the instant your phone reconnects — you never lose it and you never have to remember to resend. That's what lets you bill from the doorstep instead of piling up paperwork for Sunday night: the charge goes out while the details are fresh, before the day's fifth home blurs into the fourth and you can't recall who wanted the extra fridge clean.
Whether you clean houses, offices, or both, Workeey keeps a full record on every client: contact info, the address with Google autocomplete, notes, backed-up photos, and the complete history of jobs, invoices and payments. So when a client asks what they paid last month, or a new hire needs to know that the Kellermans want vinegar on the floors and nothing else, it's one tap — not a scramble through texts and a paper book you left in the other car.
That history is what turns scattered visits into an actual business you can see. You know when you were last at a home, what got done, what it cost, and whether they've paid. For commercial accounts it means an invoice trail you can stand behind if a facilities manager questions a charge. For residential regulars it means you walk in already knowing their preferences, which is exactly the kind of memory that keeps a weekly client from ever shopping around for someone cheaper.
Cleaning is a lot of small invoices, and small invoices are the ones clients forget. Workeey sends automatic payment reminders by email on a schedule until an invoice is paid or you turn it off — you set the tone once, friendly or firm, per invoice, and it runs on its own. The free plan covers 10 reminders a month, Pro 30, and Premium unlimited. Text reminders are coming; email is what does the work today, quietly nudging the slow payers so you don't have to.
Getting paid is just as hands-off. Connect your own Stripe and every invoice carries a pay link — clients pay by card or straight from a US bank account with ACH, which usually costs less in fees. You watch money owed and money paid as running totals, with each client's payment history under their name, so at a glance you know which accounts are current and which office keeps letting the invoice ride into a second month.
Proof matters in cleaning more than almost any trade, and Workeey keeps your job photos and videos organized and backed up so they double as before-and-after evidence on the invoice. Quoting a first-time deep clean or a move-out? Enter the job and Workeey suggests an estimate, or ask the built-in AI for one and adjust it. Estimates live right inside the job, so the number you quoted is there when the work's finished and it's time to send the bill — no loose quote to dig up.
The AI button sits on every screen. Type or talk to it — draft an invoice, write the reminder email, knock out a quick estimate, or ask what you charged a client for their last deep clean before you quote the next one. It handles the writing you'd rather not do between homes, in plain words, no manual required. That means the admin side of a cleaning business gets smaller instead of eating your evenings, and you spend your energy on the work that actually pays.
Cleaning has its own rhythm — spring-cleaning spikes, the holiday rush, the flood of move-outs at the end of the month, and quieter stretches in between. Your dashboard is the login landing page, putting today's cleans, money owed, and anything overdue right up front, with widgets you can arrange around how you run. In a slow week it's where you catch the office that's two invoices behind before it becomes a real problem, instead of finding out when you finally reconcile the books.
Workeey is free forever — try the whole app in one tap with guest mode, no account, just a username and your trade. When you want more reminders and QuickBooks sync, Pro and Premium are there. See pricing, or compare us against Jobber and Housecall Pro — the two-way Google Calendar sync is something neither offers. Handle some outdoor work too? The same tools cover landscaping just as well.
Yes, the free plan is free forever. It covers scheduling, invoicing, payments through your own Stripe, and 10 email reminders a month. Pro raises reminders to 30 and Premium makes them unlimited, and both add QuickBooks sync. You can try the whole app first with guest mode — one tap, no account, just a username and your trade. See pricing for the details.
Put the recurring visit on your Google Calendar and it syncs both ways into Workeey's day view — change it in either place and it writes back near-instantly. Each visit becomes a job you invoice, and the client's access notes and full history are one tap away, so a new week never means re-entering the door code or re-explaining their preferences.
Start a blank invoice and add your line items, or invoice from the finished job so the client, tax rate, and before-and-after photos carry over automatically. It's numbered for you and moves through draft, sent, paid and overdue statuses. If a deep clean turned into more work than quoted, adjust the invoice on the spot before you send it.
Workeey works offline. Any invoice or change you make drops into a durable queue and sends itself the moment your phone reconnects — nothing is lost and you don't have to remember to resend. So you can finish, lock up, and bill from the doorstep even where there's no coverage, while every detail of the clean is still fresh.
Yes. Workeey sends automatic payment reminders by email on a schedule until the invoice is paid or you turn them off — you choose the tone once, per invoice. It's the quiet nudge that gets forgetful clients to pay small cleaning invoices without you having to send an awkward follow-up. Text reminders are on the way; email is what runs today.
