Mason time tracking, without the timer.
How a mason's day actually looks
Most time-tracking apps assume a steady, predictable day. A mason's day is the opposite. You're laying brick, stone, and mortar, switching between addresses like Residential brickwork, Patio and walkway installs, Retaining wall sites, and doing tasks like Mixing mortar batches, Repointing old joints, Setting stone veneer. Timers get forgotten. Manually entering jobsites in advance does not match how calls actually come in.
Friction masons tell us about
- Losing track of travel time between scattered repair calls
- Missing mileage on trips to quarries or supply yards
- Difficulty separating active masonry time from transit time
How TradesTimer handles it
- Auto-detects stops at every masonry site
- Logs every mile driven to and from job sites
- Provides rounded billable hours for quick client updates

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.
