- Helpers working for more than one agency who want income tracked per agency
- Anyone still keeping service records on paper or in Excel
- Anyone who wants accurate pay from a timesheet, including night shift and holiday premiums
- Anyone who submits a monthly PDF service record to their agency
- Anyone watching their annual income to stay within a dependent-status threshold

MAIN FEATURES

Start and stop a visit with one tap
Tap when you arrive: pick the client, press Start Visit, and the record begins. When you finish, choose the service type (personal care, home help), add a note, and save.

Automatic pay estimates
Set your hourly rate, late-night premium (22:00-06:00) and holiday premium, and estimated pay is calculated the moment a visit ends. Travel time can be included if you choose. Japanese public holidays (2025-2028) are detected automatically, so monthly earnings stay up to date.

Home Screen widgets
Shows this month's estimated pay and goal progress.

Annual income cap alerts
Set a cap (1.06M, 1.30M, 1.50M or 1.60M yen: the annual income thresholds used in Japan) and see year-to-date estimated pay plus how much room is left. Colors change at 80% and 95%. Confirm actual tax and social-insurance conditions with your employer or local authority.

Recurring visit plans plus reminders
Register a weekly visit slot per client and it appears in the Today tab on the day, with a notification before the start time. Starting a record from a plan is one tap.

Multiple clients, per-service rates
Register each client with a name, care service category and hourly rate. If personal care and home help pay differently, set a rate per service type.

Per-agency totals plus payroll reconciliation
The monthly report shows income totals by agency. Enter what an agency actually paid and the difference against your records appears automatically. Useful for payslip checks and tax returns.

Transport cost tracking
Record transport costs per visit, total them monthly, and export them to CSV.

Service records plus visit history
Review past visits by month and filter by client. Records can be edited, and pay is recalculated automatically after any change.

PDF and CSV export
Export monthly records as an A4 PDF you can submit to your agency. CSV export lets you keep managing the data in Excel.
Note: PDFs in the free version carry a watermark. Watermark-free PDF and CSV export are Premium features.
