Workeey is business software for the self-employed handyman — the person juggling ten small jobs, five clients, and a truck full of materials. Quote it, do it, invoice it, get paid — all from your phone, even down a crawlspace with no signal. See invoicing and pricing.
A handyman's day isn't one job — it's ten. A leaky faucet at nine, a TV mount at ten, a sticking door, a fence board, a light fixture, all before lunch. Workeey's scheduling is built for that rhythm: short from/to time slots you can line up back-to-back, a day view that auto-expands so the whole run is in front of you, and drag-to-move when the fence job runs long. Booking the job is also where the client's address and your notes go, so nothing gets entered twice.
Ten stops means the driving matters. Workeey routes you to the next address or optimizes the whole day's run in Google Maps, Waze, or Apple Maps, so you're not crossing town twice for two jobs on the same street. And because the schedule syncs two ways with Google Calendar — edit in Workeey and it writes back in seconds, change it in Google and Workeey knows — the calendar your spouse or your customers see is always the real one, not last week's plan.
Small jobs are the ones that never get invoiced — you finish, you drive to the next one, and the twenty-dollar fix evaporates. Workeey stops the leak. Start a blank invoice in two taps and add line items for your labor and each bit of material — a box of screws, a length of trim, a new hinge — apply tax if it's due, and send. It's numbered automatically, so even a day of little tickets stays organized. Or invoice straight from the job you just logged, with the details already filled in.
For a trade built on 'can you just fix this too,' photos are how you keep it straight. Snap the before and after — the rotted board, the new one, the patched drywall — and attach them to the invoice as proof of exactly what you did and didn't touch. Email it from your phone before you've packed the drill, and it works offline too, so the invoice you write in a signal-dead basement sends itself the moment you're back on the road.
The smaller the invoice, the more likely it slips. A homeowner means to pay the $80, then life happens, and you feel awkward chasing eighty bucks. Workeey does the chasing for you. Every invoice shows its own status — draft, sent, paid, or overdue — and unpaid ones send automatic reminder emails to the client on a schedule until they pay or you turn the reminders off. You pick the tone once. No awkward text, no mental list of who still owes you what.
On the dashboard you see the total you're owed and the total you've been paid without adding anything up, and every client's payment history sits on their card. Text reminders are on the way as carrier verification clears — for now the email reminders are live and doing the work. The Free plan covers 10 automatic reminders a month, Pro 30, and Premium takes the cap off, which matters when a day of small jobs is a stack of small invoices. See pricing.
Half the job is answering 'how much?' at the door. In Workeey, an estimate lives inside the job — enter the work and it suggests a price, or ask the built-in AI to price it from a quick description of what the customer wants. Describe the honey-do list out loud, and it comes back as a tidy, itemized number you can show on the spot. There's no separate estimate record to babysit and no false 'estimate turns into a scheduled job' button — just a clear price the customer can say yes to.
The AI button is on every screen, and for a busy one-person shop it's the assistant you don't have. Turn a voice note into an itemized invoice, draft the email that explains why the 'quick' job needed an extra part, or ask what you charged this customer last spring. Type it or talk to it. It's there to hand back the half hour of paperwork at the end of a ten-job day, so you can knock off instead of catching up. See how estimates work inside a job.
The handyman business runs on repeat customers — the family whose whole house you slowly fix, one weekend job at a time. Workeey's client records keep each one's full story: contact details, the address with Google autocomplete, your notes on what's where, and backed-up photos of past work. Every job, invoice, and payment sits on their card, so when they call about 'the thing in the basement,' you already know which basement, what you did last time, and what you charged for it.
That memory is what turns a one-off into a regular. You walk in knowing the quirks of the house — the breaker that trips, the door that swells in summer — because your notes are right there on the phone. Nothing lives on a scrap of paper in the truck. It's backed up, so a lost or broken phone doesn't erase a year of customers you've built up job by job.
However you get paid, Workeey handles it. Connect your own Stripe and every invoice carries a pay link, so a customer can pay by card or straight from a US bank account (ACH) before you've left the driveway — handy when they don't have cash and you don't want to make a second trip for a check. Fees are the usual Stripe rates, roughly 3% plus 30c on cards and about 1% on bank transfers, and the money goes to your account, not ours. See payments.
Cash in hand is still cash in hand — take it, mark the invoice paid, and it's off your list. For the customers who'd rather tap a link, the pay button turns a chased eighty dollars into a thirty-second payment. Either way, the totals on your dashboard update themselves, so you always know what's still out there without keeping a running tally in your head.
The big job-management suites are built for companies with a dispatcher and a crew — $50 to $200 a month, and a setup week before you invoice anyone. A handyman doesn't need any of that. Workeey's Free plan is free forever, invoicing has no cap, and the whole app makes sense in an afternoon. Want to see it before you sign up for anything? Guest mode opens the full app with one tap — just a username and your trade, no account, no card. See pricing.
See how Workeey fits the rest of the trade too: invoicing built for handymen, or the way it works for plumbers, electricians, and HVAC techs. Weighing the paid tools? We compare Workeey plainly against Jobber and Housecall Pro, so you can see exactly what you'd pay for and what you wouldn't.
Yes. The Free plan is $0 forever with unlimited invoicing and no per-job fee. Paid plans add more automatic reminders, QuickBooks sync, and higher limits, but a one-person shop can run entirely on Free.
Yes. An estimate lives inside the job — enter the work for a suggested price, or ask the built-in AI to itemize it from a quick description. You get a clear number to show the customer on the spot.
Connect your own Stripe and each invoice carries a pay link for card or US bank (ACH) payment — roughly 3% plus 30c on cards, about 1% on bank transfers. Or take cash and mark it paid in a tap.
Yes. Unpaid invoices send automatic reminder emails on a schedule until they're paid or you switch them off — so you never have to send an awkward message about eighty dollars again.
Yes. Each customer's card holds their contact info, address, your notes, backed-up photos, and the full job, invoice, and payment history — so you always know what you did last time and what you charged.
Yes. Invoices and jobs you create offline queue on your phone and send automatically when you're back on signal — useful in the basements, attics, and crawlspaces where signal drops.
