What’s in it

Nine tabs on every job.

Everything a small shop needs to keep a job’s paperwork in one place instead of scattered across texts, email and the truck seat.

Job info

The basics of the job in one place, so anyone who opens it knows what it is.

Plans

Upload a PDF set. It becomes zoomable sheets you can mark up and pin.

Specs

Spec documents and notes, kept with the job instead of in your email.

Submittals

Keep submittal documents and notes together on the job.

Photos

The camera stays open. Shoot, describe, shoot again. Every photo stays on the job.

Punch list

Items with photos, location and status, and a PDF report you can send.

Checklist

A checklist on each job, so the small stuff doesn’t get skipped.

Milestones

The steps of the job, so you always know what’s next.

Materials needed

What the job still needs, written down before you forget.

The two screens crews live in

Your drawings and your punch walk,
in the same pocket.

This is the part contractors try first and the part they keep. These two save you a trip back to the truck.

Plans, specs & submittals

Upload the set. Mark it up. Take it into a basement.

Drop in a PDF and JobAce turns it into sheets you can actually zoom.

  • Draw on any sheet with a finger, an Apple Pencil or a mouse
  • Drop a pin with a title, notes and a status anyone can pick up
  • Rename pages individually, so sheet 27 is called what it actually is
  • A revised drawing uploads as a revision, not a second confusing file
  • Sheets you have opened stay on the device — they still work in a mechanical room with no signal
Photo punch lists

Walk it once. Hand over the report the same day.

One item is a photo, a note and a status. The camera stays open between shots and you dictate the note instead of typing it.

  • Shoot, describe, Save & next — the camera stays open
  • Every item carries its location, so the next person finds it
  • Open, in progress, done — a status on every item
  • Generate a PDF punch report with the photos in it and send it before you leave site

Questions

The things contractors actually ask.

Is it really free?

Yes. JobAce is free forever, with no time limit and no credit card.

What do I get?

Jobs with job info, plans, specs, submittals, photos, a punch list, checklist, milestones and materials needed. There are four job types: Residential Service, Commercial Service, Property Manager and General Contractor.

How many users and how much storage?

One user and 2 GB of file storage.

Do I need a credit card?

No. Sign up and start using it.

Does it work without signal?

Plan sheets do, if you open them before you leave: sheets you’ve viewed stay cached on the device. It is not a fully offline app, so opening a sheet for the first time needs a connection.

Can I delete my account?

Yes. There is a Delete account button in Settings that removes your account and data.
