Your schedule, your clients, and your money, all in one place. Hedgemony is built for the owner-operator: the person who mows the yards, sends the invoices, and keeps the whole business in their head. Put it in your pocket instead. THE SCHEDULE FILLS ITSELF IN Set a client to weekly, biweekly, or monthly and the next ten weeks appear on your calendar. Switch someone from weekly to biweekly and the schedule reflows; you see exactly which visits move before you confirm. Drag one day into the order you drive it and every future week comes out the same way, biweekly clients included. THE FORECAST PLANS WITH YOU Every day on the week planner carries its weather. When rain is likely on a day with stops, Hedgemony offers to move them to the next dry day. One tap, and everyone keeps their place in the rotation. FERTILIZING, WEED CONTROL, AND AERATION Treatment work runs on rounds. Build a program from a template, price each round by the yard's square footage, and Hedgemony tells you which lawns are due. Send a batch out on the day you pick, to whichever truck is spraying. Nothing goes on the calendar until you say so. ONE TAP IN THE DRIVEWAY Today shows your stops, gate codes and all. Swipe to complete at the plan price, or open the job to add an upcharge, run the timer, and leave a note. Your day's total climbs as you work. THE WEEKLY CHECKLIST Truck upkeep, blade sharpening, whatever keeps the operation running: a checklist beside your schedule. Repeating items come back fresh every Sunday. A one-time item stays until you check it off. GET PAID WITHOUT ASKING TWICE Every completed job lands on the client's balance. Send the invoice as a text with your payment methods already in it, or as a clean PDF with your logo; either one can carry a pay-by-card link your client taps to pay on Stripe's secure page, no app, no signup. Clients can save a card once and autopay after each visit or monthly. Cash and checks record in two taps, and past-due reminders come prefilled, sent from your own number so they read like you and not a robot. Typed something wrong? Correct a payment or void an invoice without doing arithmetic in your head. KNOW YOUR NUMBERS A weekly and monthly business report: income with tips broken out, jobs completed, clients gained and lost, expenses, and what's left. Log fuel in seconds with a receipt photo. The timer quietly builds your real hourly rate per client, so you know who's underpriced before the season does. QUOTE IT FROM THE CURB Trace the property on satellite view and Hedgemony measures the turf, figures the time, and suggests a price at your target rate. Text the quote, and one tap turns a yes into a scheduled client. WINTER HAPPENS Pause everyone for the season in one tap, and bring them back in spring on the same rotation they left. CREW - WHEN IT'S NOT JUST YOU (optional subscription) Give each crew member their own login on a simple website - their route, the job timer, and expense logging with receipt photos, in English or Spanish, on any phone. Build teams that keep their own schedules, seat people by day of the week, and watch completions and expenses land back in your app. You control what each person sees: prices, phone numbers, gate notes. Crew is $18.99/month; solo Hedgemony is free forever. YOUR DATA IS YOURS Hedgemony works offline where it counts: your schedule, clients, and money live on your device, and a dead spot never stops your day. Crew updates and card payments sync when signal returns. Your data backs up to your private iCloud. No accounts, no tracking, no ads. Card payments are optional and cost about 3.4% + 30¢ per payment (Stripe's cut plus 0.5% to Hedgemony); solo Hedgemony is free. Built for operators who'd rather be mowing than doing paperwork.
