Description by John Lein Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
MODERN ARCHITECTURE

Completely rewritten in SwiftUI with SwiftData and CloudKit integration for seamless synchronization across all your iOS devices through iCloud. Start an estimate on your iPhone at the job site, refine it on your iPad in the office, and everything stays perfectly in sync. Your estimates, photos, and client information are automatically backed up to iCloud.

ENHANCED JOB MANAGEMENT

Jobs now features a card-based interface with cover photos for visual identification. Each card displays project name, client, color-coded status badge (Estimating, Approved, In Progress, Completed), and total in an elegant layout.
REVOLUTIONARY PROJECT SUMMARY

Completely redesigned with expandable sections replacing old page-by-page navigation. Materials, Labor, Equipment, and Plant Material are organized into collapsible categories. The Materials section intelligently groups similar items with automatic subtotals. Every line item shows quantity, unit, rate, and comprehensive calculator details.

PROFESSIONAL PDF GENERATION

Generate client-ready PDF estimates with one tap. PDFs include your company logo, detailed line items organized by category, complete cost analysis with taxes and overhead, and professional formatting. Share via Files, email, AirDrop, or print directly from your device.

EMAIL INTEGRATION

Send estimates directly to clients with pre-formatted professional emails. The system auto-fills client email addresses, creates compelling subject lines, and generates beautiful HTML emails with your company branding.

ADVANCED CALCULATORS - Imperial or Metric

Paving Stone Calculator - Complete six-layer hardscape system including excavation, gravel base with compaction, leveling course, geotextile fabric, polymeric sand and edge restraint calculations in ONE STEP. Separate, detailed line items represent individual waste percentages.

Topsoil Calculator - Multiple areas with individual depth control, automatic calculations, configurable waste percentages

Gravel Calculator - Driveways, pathways, drainage with depth and compaction considerations

INTELLIGENT LINE ITEMS

Items are automatically categorized by type with automatic subtotals. Edit quantities, rates, and notes directly while maintaining detailed calculator information for complete transparency.

ENHANCED COST CONTROLS

Separate tax rates for labor and materials. Configurable overhead and contingency percentages. Fixed or percentage-based profit margins. Real-time grand total updates. Default rates are stored in Settings and auto-applied to new jobs.

CUSTOMIZABLE PRICING

Set default pricing for all materials, including sod rolls, grass seed, topsoil, mulch, beach stone, decorative rocks, boulders, paving stone, gravel base, sand leveling course, and geotextile fabric. Prices saved in Settings apply automatically to future estimates.

COMPANY SETTINGS

Centralized company information, including business name, estimator name, contact details, and logo upload. Your logo appears on all client PDF estimates and emails for consistent professional branding. Currency symbols automatically display based on your country.

PHOTO MANAGEMENT

Add multiple photos per job from the camera or photo library. Set cover photos for job cards. All photos sync via iCloud across all your devices automatically.

PLANT LIST & COSTING

Dedicated Plant Material category with detailed plant lists and individual plant costing, a much-requested feature now fully integrated.

IMPROVED INTERFACE

Full dark mode support with a custom contractor orange theme. Smooth animations and intuitive gestures. Floating action buttons reduce taps needed. Optimized for all iPhone and iPad sizes. Clean, modern design focused on efficiency.
