For interpreters💼 Freelance Tools

Quickly log a job from anywhere

Use the floating 'Log Job' button to capture any freelance job in about ten seconds, with smart defaults that remember your last client.

The quick-log button floats on your screen throughout the app so you can record a freelance job the moment it ends, then optionally add mileage or start an invoice right away.

Step by step

  1. 1Tap the floating 'Log Job' button, the orange 'Log a Job' button at the top of your Home page, or your phone's home-screen shortcut.
  2. 2Enter the job title and pick a client, or type a new client name to create one on the spot.
  3. 3Set the date and start/end time; the hours fill in automatically from the time window.
  4. 4Choose how you're billing and enter your rate (or hours), a live 'This job earns' preview shows the total.
  5. 5Tap 'Log this job' to save it.
  6. 6On the success screen, optionally tap 'Add mileage' to log a job-linked mileage deduction, or 'Invoice this client' to start building an invoice.

Tips

  • Your last-used client and rate are pre-filled automatically; tap 'Same as last job' to copy your previous entry.
  • The quick-log sheet is the same full form as the External Jobs & Invoices tab, including splitting hours across day/night/weekend rates and the 'Apply client rate' quick-fill.
  • You can't save until there's a title, a client (or new client name), and a rate.
  • Jobs dated in the future are saved as 'Scheduled', you'll close them out later instead of seeing earnings or invoice prompts right away.
  • The mileage shortcut uses the standard rate per mile, so a quick distance entry becomes a deduction instantly.
  • Don't want the floating button? Open Account Settings from the sidebar, go to the "Freelance Tools" tab, and set the Quick "Log Job" Button to Hidden. The Log a Job button on Home stays.
  • You can drag the floating button out of the way on a small screen, and it remembers where you left it.
