Hi Product Hunt 👋

Orange Baton is for small field-service companies (electrical, interior, remodeling, equipment) that track jobs in a spreadsheet and a group chat.

The problem it solves is small but constant: a job moves from quote to approval to work to invoice, and at every step someone has to know it's their turn. In a spreadsheet that's a blank cell, so the chat fills up with "who has this one?"

In Orange Baton, every job holds exactly one baton: the next step and the person holding it.

• Open the app and the jobs waiting on you come first.

• When you're done, tap Pass. The next stage and the likely person are already picked, so it's usually one tap.

• The next person gets one notification. It's the only notification the app sends.

What it leaves out, on purpose: no Gantt chart, no kanban, no file storage, no chat, no automatic reminders, no per-seat pricing. Your files, chat and accounting stay where they are; it only replaces the row nobody updates.

Stages come from a template (Received → Quote → Approval → Work → Report → Invoice, or your own). On an iPhone with Apple Intelligence you can describe your kind of work and get a draft on the device.

iPhone, iPad and Android, in English and Japanese. Free for one person; teams get two weeks free, then one subscription for up to 99 members.

I'd love to hear how your team hands work off today, and where this would or wouldn't fit.
