## What is Cowstail?

Cowstail is the admin side of rope access, sorted from your phone. Built for IRATA and SPRAT technicians who would rather be on the ropes than on the paperwork. Find work, get paid, stay compliant.

FIND WORK THAT FITS YOUR TICKETS
Companies post rope access jobs; you see the ones matching your level and tickets. Apply with a snapshot you control, get offers, and accepted jobs land straight in your schedule with calendar sync. No open directory: your data is only shared when you decide.

INVOICES THAT GET YOU PAID
Create a professional invoice in under a minute. Automatic numbering, VAT and CIS handled, payment details on the document, and a public link your client can open without installing anything. See when it was viewed, log payments, chase overdues.

KIT & LOLER, NEVER OUT OF DATE
Your rig lives in the app: every descender, harness and rope with serial numbers and inspection dates. Cowstail tracks your 6-month LOLER thorough examinations and reminds you before anything lapses.

QUALS IN A VERIFIABLE WALLET
IRATA and SPRAT cards, first aid, offshore tickets: scan them once and carry them all. Share a revocable link so a company can verify your quals without endless photo requests. Expiry reminders included.

TAX WITHOUT THE SHOEBOX
Log expenses as they happen (scan the receipt, we read it). Income and outgoings organised by UK tax year, so self-assessment stops being an archaeology project.

CAREER & LOGBOOK
Your hours, your jobs, your progression towards the next level, all in one record.

BUILT FOR COMPANIES TOO
Post jobs, manage applicants, build your tech roster, plan projects and book crew with conflict checking. Auto-drafted invoices when a job wraps. Share any job as a link straight into your WhatsApp groups and socials: it opens as a proper job page, and applications land back in the app.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
UK GDPR. Data hosted in the EU, encrypted in transit and at rest, daily tested backups. No ads, no data selling, ever. Read more at cowstail.app/security.html

Free for solo technicians. No card required.


## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.2.0 — 2026-09-29

Work library: one shared list of the kinds of rope access work. Pick it when you log hours, post a job, price a service or write an invoice line, and the same name follows the job everywhere. Type a few letters and Cowstail suggests the match; add your own when it is missing.

A clearer invoice line: what the work was, where and when (site, the days on a calendar, the hours on a slider), and the days already counted. Quotes use the same line.

Invoices from your bookings: on Friday, Cowstail lists the days you worked for each company and drafts the invoice with the site, the hours and the company's payment terms. You review and send.

Insights: what you sell most, your average price against last year, the busy months and where you worked.

Ask: speak or type in any language. Invoices and logbook entries you ask for arrive with the site, the dates and the hours filled in.

Fresh icons and illustrations throughout.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-09-28

Fixes and polish for rope access technicians.

- An invoice can only be handed in-app to the company it is made out to. Invoices for anyone else keep the email button.
- A new, lighter icon set across the app, and illustrations on the Home cards and empty screens.
- The job board shows a clearer empty state while we open new regions.
- The installed web app no longer zooms in when you tap a form field on iOS.
