Glazier time tracking, without the timer.
How a glazier's day actually looks
Most time-tracking apps assume a steady, predictable day. A glazier's day is the opposite. You're fitting storefront glass and sealing window panes, switching between addresses like Commercial storefronts, Residential window retrofits, New construction sites, and doing tasks like Setting glass into frames, Applying structural silicone, Cutting panes to custom sizes. Timers get forgotten. Manually entering jobsites in advance does not match how calls actually come in.
Friction glaziers tell us about
- Losing track of time spent waiting for glass deliveries or crane availability
- Forgetting to log mileage between scattered residential window calls
- Difficulty distinguishing between active glazing time and transit time during a heavy day of site visits
How TradesTimer handles it
- Auto-detects every jobsite stop from the moment you arrive at the storefront
- Captures precise mileage for every trip between glass suppliers and job sites
- Provides rounded billable hours without needing to touch your phone while handling heavy glass

Your location history stays on your phone.
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.
The app does not talk to any third-party service with your location. Nothing about where you've been is uploaded anywhere. See the privacy policy for the full detail.
