Junk-removal pro time tracking, without the timer.
How a junk-removal pro's day actually looks
Most time-tracking apps assume a steady, predictable day. A junk-removal pro's day is the opposite. You're clearing debris and hauling away unwanted items, switching between addresses like residential driveways, construction sites, apartment complexes, and doing tasks like hauling heavy furniture, sorting recyclables, loading scrap metal. Timers get forgotten. Manually entering jobsites in advance does not match how calls actually come in.
Friction junk-removal pros tell us about
- Tracking unpaid drive time between residential pickups and the landfill
- Losing track of mileage between multiple small curb-side loads
- Difficulty distinguishing between active loading time and transit time
- Forgetting to log the long haul to distant recycling centers
How TradesTimer handles it
- Automatic detection of every pickup stop and dump site trip
- Hands-free mileage logging for every trip to the landfill

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.
