Overview

Everything a handyman needs, nothing they don't

Handyman HQ was built for the sole trader who wants to stay on top of their business without paying for software they don't need. The Today view shows today's jobs at a glance, calculates leave-by times based on travel distance, and surfaces upcoming bookings so nothing gets missed. The schedule spans day, week, and month views with the same clarity a paper diary offers — only smarter.

On the money side, Handyman HQ handles invoices and quotes with VAT pricing, tracks business expenses by category, and generates HMRC-ready reports — including the full 9-box VAT return and a self-assessment P&L — that can be printed or exported to CSV. Because the whole app is a single HTML file stored locally, there's nothing to install, no subscription to manage, and your data never leaves your device.
