Gutter-cleaning pro time tracking, without the timer.
How a gutter-cleaning pro's day actually looks
Most time-tracking apps assume a steady, predictable day. A gutter-cleaning pro's day is the opposite. You're clearing debris and flushing downspouts, switching between addresses like Residential rooftops, Multi-family complexes, Commercial storefronts, and doing tasks like Clearing out the muck, Flushing the downspouts, Checking for leaks. Timers get forgotten. Manually entering jobsites in advance does not match how calls actually come in.
Friction gutter-cleaning pros tell us about
- Losing track of drive time between different residential neighborhoods
- Hard to justify labor costs when you can't prove exactly how long you were on a specific roof
- Forgetting to log mileage on quick, short-distance trips between nearby properties
- Difficulty separating actual cleaning time from ladder setup and debris disposal

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.
