Countertop installer time tracking, without the timer.
How a countertop installer's day actually looks
Most time-tracking apps assume a steady, predictable day. A countertop installer's day is the opposite. You're templating stone and installing finished countertops, switching between addresses like Residential kitchen remodels, Bathroom renovation sites, Stone fabrication shops, and doing tasks like Scribing edges to uneven walls, Polishing seams and applying epoxy, Taking precise digital templates. Timers get forgotten. Manually entering jobsites in advance does not match how calls actually come in.
Friction countertop installers tell us about
- Losing track of travel time between stone yards for slab pickups and client job sites
- Difficulty separating time spent on-site for installation versus time spent at supply depots
- Missing mileage deductions for the frequent, short trips between residential remodel stops
How TradesTimer handles it

There is no TradesTimer server storing your location trails. No account. No sign-up. Your GPS history lives on the device that recorded it — for as long as you want it. The only time anything leaves your phone is when you choose to share your billable-hours summary yourself.
