Why painters need a job log app

Logged is a job and invoice app for painters: build a line-item estimate per room with before photos embedded, the client accepts it from a web link, and every job's before/after photos stay tied to the customer forever and embed in the invoice PDF.

It works fully offline on any job site with no signal, and is free to download — Pro is $9.99/month.

Estimates need to show exactly what you're doing — and for what price

A customer comparing two paint quotes picks the one that lists every room, the paint type, prep scope, and price clearly. A vague total on a text message doesn't win the job. Logged's line-item estimate plus embedded photos shows exactly what's included.

Before/after photos are your portfolio and your dispute protection

Every job is a marketing asset and every job is a "did you really cover all three coats?" record. Logged attaches photos to the job and the customer — they're accessible and exportable forever, timestamped and GPS-tagged.

Multi-day jobs need progress tracking without the paperwork mess

A 4-day interior repaint is one job, four visits. Logged supports multiple job entries per customer — track progress, update the invoice as rooms are completed, and send the final invoice with photos of the finished work.

How Logged fits a painter's day

Line-item estimate with photos — before you start the job

Create the estimate with a line item per room or scope item, attach photos of the existing surfaces, and tap Send. Your customer sees exactly what you'll do and what it costs — they tap Accept from their phone and you're hired.

One-tap photo from the job screen

Tap the camera icon inside a job and take the before photos — walls, trim, existing color. When you're done, take the after photos. Logged ties them to that job and customer permanently. They embed automatically in the invoice PDF.

One customer, multiple job entries for multi-day work

Create multiple job entries under the same customer as you work through the project. Each entry gets its own photos and notes. The invoice can reference the whole project or individual phases — flexible enough for interior, exterior, or commercial work.

FAQ

Common questions from painters

Can I include a paint color list on the estimate?

Yes — use line items for each room and color combo. Add photos of the swatches or reference colors.

Can I send a 50% deposit invoice and a final invoice?

Yes — create two separate invoices against the same customer with the appropriate amounts.

Will my client see the photos on the estimate they sign?

Photos embed in the estimate PDF and appear on the web link page your client reviews before accepting.

Can I attach a color sample photo or reference image to a job?

Yes — use the in-app camera to photograph color swatches, reference images, or existing surfaces. Logged stores it tied to the job and customer.

Is there a way to track paint inventory?

Not in v1. Use job notes for paint codes and quantities if you need to reference them later.
