Why teams switch

Keep hours safe, accurate, and ready for inspection

Apprentices lose progress when paper binders disappear. Program managers lose weeks chasing updates. This keeps every hour organized and exportable whenever you need proof.

Paper hourbooks get lost

Keep every hour stored securely with instant PDF and CSV exports.

Category requirements change

Start with state + trade templates, then tailor categories once.

Audit season turns chaotic

Cohort summaries and export history keep audits calm and fast.
Built for both paths

One hourbook for apprentices and the teams that manage them

Keep the buyer journey clear: start with the free tool, move into saved logs, then add team controls only when a program needs them.

One free path for urgent hourbook recovery
One paid individual path for saved history and exports
One team path for seats, cohorts, and monthly review ops

How it works

Three steps, done daily in minutes

The flow is built for job sites: quick entry, clear categories, and a monthly sign-off that keeps you ready for reviews instead of scrambling at the end of the month.

Why it stays fast

  • The free PDF gives a no-signup starting point when hours are already behind.
  • Saved accounts add searchable history, signatures, and proof packs without changing the core logging flow.
  • Team plans add seats and cohort views only when coordination becomes the bottleneck.
