Window cleaner time tracking, without the timer.
How a window cleaner's day actually looks
Most time-tracking apps assume a steady, predictable day. A window cleaner's day is the opposite. You're scrubbing panes and squeegeeing frames, switching between addresses like Residential homes, Retail storefronts, Office complexes, and doing tasks like Scraping hard water deposits, Cleaning window tracks and sills, Wiping down screens. Timers get forgotten. Manually entering jobsites in advance does not match how calls actually come in.
Friction window cleaners tell us about
- Losing track of extra time spent on stubborn hard-water removal during back-to-back stops
- Missing mileage deductions for the constant driving between scattered residential clients
- Difficulty justifying billable time when a job runs over due to unexpected grime or screen cleaning
How TradesTimer handles it
- Automatically detects every cleaning stop so no session goes unrecorded
- Captures every mile driven between job sites for an effortless tax-time mileage log
- Converts GPS stops into rounded billable hours to match your actual time on the 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.
