JOBS, NOT JUST INVOICES Track each job from the first scheduled visit to the final paid invoice. Add notes, attach a client and contractor, itemize line items, set reminders, and move work through your pipeline. No spreadsheets, no sticky notes. PROFESSIONAL ESTIMATES & INVOICES Generate a clean, branded PDF for any job in one tap, then share it through the native iOS share sheet straight to email, Messages, or Files. With Pro, customize the look per stage with your own accent color, body font, and optional footer line so your estimates and invoices feel like yours. PAYMENT TRACKING THAT MATCHES REALITY Record full or partial payments as they come in. Tibli credits every dollar against the right job and surfaces live Pending, Partial, and Received status with at-a-glance pills, so your summary cards always reflect what you're actually owed. CLIENTS & CONTRACTORS IN ONE PLACE Keep a clean roster of who you work for and who works with you. Tap any client or contractor to see every job, assignment, and dollar tied to them, with payment status front and center. LINE ITEMS WITH BILLABLE OR ABSORBED COSTS Build a reusable library of line items for labor, equipment, materials, fees, and expenses. Mark any line as non-billable to track an absorbed cost without showing it to the client, so your real net pay stays accurate. A CALENDAR THAT KNOWS YOUR WORK See your jobs by day, week, and month. With Pro, optional Calendar Sync puts your scheduled work in your Apple Calendar alongside everything else.
