Foreman puts your projects in your pocket. The office has the budget, the schedule, and the paperwork. Your crew has a phone. Foreman is the app that connects them — so the work that happens on site actually shows up in the numbers, the same day it happens. WHAT YOU CAN DO FROM THE FIELD Daily logs Write up the day in under a minute. Attach photos straight from the camera, note weather and crew, and it's on the project before you leave the driveway. Time tracking Clock in and out on site. Hours land on the project, ready for the office to approve — no paper timesheets, no Monday-morning guessing. Expenses and receipts Snap the receipt at the counter. Code it to a project and a cost line right there, so it hits the budget instead of a shoebox. Tasks and schedule See what's assigned to you, what's due, and what the project schedule looks like. Check things off as you finish them. Messages Ask a question, get an answer, keep it attached to the project it's about — instead of losing it in a group text. Projects and records Look up any project: its budget, its proposals and invoices, its files and plans. Everything the office sees, shaped for a phone. Contacts Your clients and subs, one tap from a call, a text, or an email. AI assistant Ask it anything about your projects in plain language and it answers from your real data. BUILT FOR A JOBSITE, NOT A DESK Works offline. Photos, messages, and expenses you capture with no signal are held on the device and sent the moment you're back — even if you close the app. Push notifications that go somewhere. Tap one and land on the exact thread, log, or task it's about. Your role decides what you see. Field crews get a focused view. Clients and subcontractors only ever see what's been shared with them. FOR CONTRACTORS OF EVERY SIZE From owner-operators running everything themselves to 100-person companies with crews on a dozen sites. Foreman scales with you — it doesn't make you graduate to something else. WORKS WITH THE OFFICE Foreman on the web handles budgets and estimating, proposals with built-in e-signatures, invoicing and payments, scheduling, AI plan takeoffs, and two-way QuickBooks Online sync. The mobile app is the same account, the same projects, the same numbers. A Foreman account is required. Start free at foreman.co — no credit card. Questions: hello@foreman.co
