ProjectPal v4 – The Offline-First Job & Invoice App That Works Anywhere, Forever Free

Hey Product Hunt! 👋

I’m a solo developer at ROY Innovations, and I am about ship ProjectPal v4 – a smart job management and invoicing app built specifically for small business owners, tradespeople, and freelancers who work in the real world, often with no signal. No account, no internet required, and it’s free forever.

🔥 Why ProjectPal exists
Most field apps demand a constant connection and store your data in the cloud. That’s useless when you’re on a building site, in a rural area, or just stuck in a dead zone. ProjectPal keeps everything on your device and syncs securely to your own Google Drive when you’re back online. Your data, your control – we never touch it.

📱 What you can do – completely offline

• Create and manage up to 10 active jobs with client details, status, and cost tracking (unlimited in Pro)

• Generate professional PDF invoices & quotes with labour, materials, charges, and discounts

• Add custom charges like call-out fees, flat rates, or discounts

• Track time with a built-in timer or manual entry, plus material inventory and automatic cost calculations

• View and manage clients across all jobs

• Get an annual report with tax obligations tracking

• Ask the AI Assistant (10 free questions/month, works offline)

• Collaborate with a team (beta) – assign jobs and sync through Google Drive, no servers needed

💰 Tax made simple
Set your tax rate and tax‑free threshold, and ProjectPal does the rest: alerts you when you approach the limit, estimates tax owed, and shows your after‑tax income. Annual reports bundle it all up. (Of course, always consult a tax pro for filings.)

🌟 ProjectPal Pro
One tap unlocks the full experience:

• Unlimited jobs

• Branded invoices with your logo and accent colour

• Unlimited AI + advanced models

• Export annual reports as PDF/CSV

• Inventory CSV import & export

Prefer to own it? We also offer one‑time purchases – no subscription ever.

🔒 Your data, your control
Offline-first, on-device storage, optional encrypted Google Drive backup. No servers, no data breaches from our end. GDPR compliant. Your clients’ information stays private.

🛠 Built for electricians, plumbers, builders, freelancers, consultants, sole traders, cleaners, designers, photographers, tutors, contractors – anyone self‑employed who needs an app that just works, even without a signal.

💙 Behind the scenes: it’s just me. Every feature is driven by real user feedback. Have an idea? Tap the in‑app support button and I’ll read it personally. Your support literally decides what gets built next.

🚀 Ready to try? It’s free, takes under a minute to create your first job, and you don’t need to sign up. I’d love to hear what you think – and what you’d like to see in v5!
