## What is Off the Tools?

Off the Tools is the app for trade businesses that are done doing admin at the kitchen table. It puts your whole operation — jobs, quotes, schedules, invoices, customers, team — in one place, backed by an AI Office that handles the front desk for you.

FOR THE FIELD
Your day, on your phone.
• My Day — today's jobs in order, with travel-time chips and what's up next
• One-tap navigate to the job and one-tap call the customer
• Check in and check out of each visit
• Add notes with voice-to-text, shoot photos straight to the job
• Log materials used with quick steppers and a searchable catalogue
• Push notifications the moment a job is assigned or the schedule changes
• Works through dead spots — your last-synced day stays viewable with no signal, and edits made offline queue and sync when you're back in range

FOR THE OFFICE
Run the whole business, not just the paperwork.
• Drag-and-drop dispatch schedule across the whole team
• Quotes that convert to jobs in one tap, jobs that convert to invoices
• A customer database that keeps companies, contacts, and sites straight
• Pipelines for leads, automatic follow-ups, and reminders
• Customer portal links for quote approval and invoice payment
• Role-based access — field staff see their jobs, not your margins

THE AI OFFICE
The part that works while you're on the tools.
• The AI receptionist answers calls you can't get to, captures the job, and books it in
• Missed calls become leads automatically — no more "they'll call back"
• Quotes get followed up. Invoices get chased. You get paid.
• A branded work-order inbox turns emails into jobs

BUILT FOR TRADES
Plumbers, electricians, HVAC, builders, landscapers, and every crew that quotes, schedules, does the work, and bills for it. Australian and US businesses supported.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.16 — 2026-10-24

Talk your notes in: tap the microphone in any note and the phone turns what you say into text. Take card payments on the spot with Tap to Pay on iPhone. Fixes the dark band at the top of the screen on iOS 27.

### 1.0.15 — 2026-10-24

Fixes the app not opening after the last update on the newest iPhone software.

### 1.0.14 — 2026-10-23

Talk your notes in: tap the microphone in a job note or message and speak — the phone types it for you. Plus a cleaner job card, check-out and return-visit booking.

### 1.0.13 — 2026-10-15

Calls now ring your iPhone for every business you take calls for — not just the account that's open. If you keep more than one account on your phone, a call to any of their businesses rings like a normal call, even when the phone is locked, and shows which business is being called. Choose which businesses ring this phone in Profile → Alerts → Ring this phone for.

### 1.0.12 — 2026-10-12

Location now runs on While Using, so your iPhone stops asking whether to keep allowing background location. The office schedule map also shows the path each person has driven today, alongside the drive still ahead.
