Auto-scheduling
Press plans your weeks. You say yes.
Tell it the days you work and how full a day can get. It lays out your calls and shows you the diary before and after. Nothing moves until you confirm.
Your business, off your mind.
Scheduling, invoicing and bookkeeping in one app for the self-employed.
A first look
The jobs after the job, handled.
Planning the weeks, chasing who owes you, keeping the books. The things that keep you up at night, handled.
Rounds
Every job keeps its rhythm.
Each job has its own cycle, and extras like gutters ride along every few visits.
Invoicing
Mark it done. The invoice is made.
Your logo, your numbers, your payment details, ready to send by email or WhatsApp.
Getting paid
Payments, spotted for you.
Press reads your bank's payment alerts and suggests the invoice each one settles.
Customers
Know who owes you.
What each customer owes now, what they've paid, and how quickly they usually pay.
Books
The books keep up with the work.
Invoices and payments land in your books as you go. Snap a receipt and Press reads it on the phone. See what you've made this week, month or year.
Every day at a glance
A whole day in one small square.
Every day in the diary is drawn the same way, so you can read a month the way you'd read a clock. No tapping in to find out what's on.
- The ring round the date fills as the day fills up.
- The line on the edge is your working day on a 24-hour clock, start to finish.
- Underneath: calls done out of calls, and what the day is worth.
- A red ring means the day is over full, before you get there.
- Today wears a purple edge, with a mark for right now.
- Days away are dashed amber, so nothing gets planned into them.
The day, timed
Door to door, down to the minute.
Every day starts and ends at home. Press works out the work, the driving and the distance, when you leave and when you're back, before you've left the house.
WorkTime on the job, call by call
TravelThe drive between each call
DistanceKilometres for the whole day
Home byWhen you leave and when you're back
- A time bar runs across your working hours with every call on it, and the chance of rain, the wind and the temperature for each hour above and below.
- Sunrise, sunset and a line for right now, so you can see at a glance if the day will fit.

Routes and auto-routing
Real roads, from your door and back.
See the whole day on the map, drawn along the roads you'll drive, with the time you'll reach each stop and when you'll be in.
- Auto-route suggests the order of your calls with less driving, and you choose whether to use it.
- Pin a job to its place in the order and the rest fits around it.
- Hand the day to your maps app to drive it.
The job tree
One job, every service it carries.
Set the main clean once, then hang the extras off it. Each extra has its own price and rhythm, and rides along on the visits it's due.
- Extras on their own rhythm: internal windows every 3rd visit, gutters every 6th, with the next date for each.
- Planned together: move the main clean, by hand or with Plan the work, and the extras due on that visit move with it.
- A year at a glance: what the job is worth a year, how often it's done and how far it's drifted.
- Decided at the door: mark each service done, skipped or left for next time, and the invoice follows.
The right person, every time
The tenant gets the visit. The agent gets the bill.
Add everyone involved in a job and tell Press what each of them gets.
- Access: the person who lets you in hears the night before, on my way and couldn't get access.
- Invoice: the bill goes to whoever pays it, a landlord, an agent or an office.
- Copied in: tick which messages anyone else is copied on. On email it's a real Cc, so the customer sees who else got it.
- Tenant, landlord, agent, caretaker, office, or your own word for them.
Messaging and invoicing
Keep customers in the loop without typing a word.
Press writes the messages for you from the job, and sends them the way each customer likes to hear from you.
SMSWhatsAppEmail
Messages that write themselvesNight before, on my way, running late, job done. The name, time, price and next visit are filled in for you.
The invoice goes with itMark the job done and the invoice is made, ready to send with the message by email or WhatsApp.
The whole day at onceLine up a message for every customer on today's list and send them one after another.
A history of what you sentEvery message you send is kept with the customer, so you can see what went out and when. Email replies land in your Inbox too.
Getting paid
See who owes you, and chase it in a tap.
Sort your customers by what they owe and act on it from the same card.
- Most owed first: every customer with money outstanding, largest at the top.
- From the card: call, text, record a payment or raise a new invoice without opening anything else.
- Every open invoice: unpaid and part paid, with what is still owing on each.
Your rules
Set the limits. Press plans inside them.
Tell Press how you like to work once, and every plan it makes keeps to it.
- Your week: the days you work, the days that can flex, and the days that are off.
- Your day: when the first call is, when you want to be home, and the latest you'll finish.
- How full is full: hours, money and calls a day. A day is full when the first of the three is reached.
- Start and finish at home: every day's drive is worked out from your door and back.
Van & gear
Know what the van really costs.
- Log trips, fuel and odometer readings as you go, in kilometres or miles.
- See the year's distance, trips and what every kilometre costs you.
- Every cost and trip in one timeline, month by month.
- A reminder before a service, test or insurance runs out, even with the app closed.
The same goes for ladders, pure water systems and anything else with running costs.
Press finds it
