kept
Get started free
Quotes, jobs, scheduling, invoicing and tax — all in one app. Built for lawn care, cleaning, pressure washing and the trades that keep this country running, with AU-native GST and BAS tools, not bolted on as an afterthought.
Four things you won't find bundled together anywhere else in this category.
Most software in this category stores your clients, jobs and invoices in a shared cloud database the vendor can read any time. Kept encrypts your business data on your own device first — we genuinely can't read your client list or your numbers, even if we wanted to. Download a full backup whenever you like, so you're never stuck relying on us to keep it.
The Marketplace matches real job requests from real customers to your trade and service area — you quote, they choose. It's not a directory you pay extra to be listed in, and it's not a lead you're bidding against ten other apps for — it's part of the plan you're already on.
Quote, schedule and photograph a job with zero bars, and it catches up the moment you're back in range — across every device you use. Most competitors need a live connection just to open.
Log the materials a job used — turf and soil, cleaning chemicals, whatever your trade runs on — against quantity, not just labour hours. Most job-management tools stop at time tracking and leave the rest to a spreadsheet.
It was built for plumbers and electricians, then stretched to cover everyone else. Here's what solo-to-small lawn care, cleaning and pressure washing operators are actually choosing between right now.

Competitor pricing researched July 2026 from public pricing pages — figures change, worth re-checking before quoting anyone directly.
No per-user penalty for growing your crew. Pick the tier that matches your team size and upgrade whenever you actually need to — nothing locks you in.
Solo operators get 3 months free to try it with real jobs and real data, no credit card needed. After that, switch to monthly or save with annual billing whenever you're ready — no lock-in either way.
Real customer job requests matched to your trade and service area — quote and win work without spending a cent on ads.
One record flows into the next — no retyping the same job three times.
Weekly, fortnightly or monthly, repeating forever until you cancel the series.
Break a big job into dated task cards spread across days, then bill it all as one invoice — or bill it in stages as it progresses.
A day's stops reordered automatically for the shortest run, not just entry order.
Flags likely-rain days and suggests the next clear one, one tap to move a day's jobs.
Live m³ soil volume as you build a renovation quote — no separate spreadsheet.
Room and surface-based pricing for residential and commercial cleaning jobs, built into the quote.
Square-metre and linear-metre pricing for pressure washing and gutter jobs, no separate spreadsheet.
Tax-free threshold and BAS position estimates worked out for you — not bolted on for a US-first tool.
GPS-tracked trips or manual entry, turned straight into a cents-per-km tax deduction.
Import a bank statement CSV and match transactions against paid invoices in a couple of clicks.
A clean P&L, GST position and mileage summary, ready to print or email off at tax time.
Service-interval tracking for mowers and gear, with overdue alerts.
Log what a job actually used — turf, soil, fertiliser and beyond — against quantity, so job costing means more than just hours.
Referral tracking, site requirements, full job history per client.
Log hours, run pay runs with tax and super estimates, and get a payroll summary ready for tax time — including what super still needs to be paid.
Decide exactly what each login can see — crew gets their jobs, not your financials or client list.
Work orders, site plans or SWMS attached straight to the job — no separate folder to go hunting through.
A no-login PDF work order you can text or email a sub, without handing them access to your books.
Email or SMS straight from the job, with status tracked automatically as sent, viewed or paid.
A proper installable app, not just a bookmark — keeps working with no signal and catches up the moment you're back online, across every device.
