Round up your workflow.
Chippie is a job management app for tradies and other service providers. A companion in your phone that runs the office. From quote to invoice, it keeps your team on the same page and your accounting sorted.
GST at 10% is worked out on every line of a quote or invoice, and your ABN goes on every invoice.
Caleb and his father Elliott, both carpenters, run their tree-felling business in Newcastle on it.

The people who built it
A family trade business out of Newcastle, Australia: two carpenters and a software engineer. Caleb and Elliott run their business through Chippie every day and shape what it becomes; Jeremiah builds it.
Caleb
CO-FOUNDER · CARPENTER & ARBORIST
Caleb runs his trade business as a carpenter and arborist. When none of the apps on the market felt right for how he and Elliott actually work, he had the idea to build one that did. He shapes Chippie's features and feel by putting it through real jobs, day in, day out.
Elliott
CO-FOUNDER · CARPENTER & ARBORIST
Elliott has run his own trade businesses for 40 years, out of a paper diary. He knows exactly what a tool has to do to earn its place: a low learning curve and no fuss. He runs his business through Chippie and tells Jeremiah what works and what doesn't.
Jeremiah
TECHNICAL CO-FOUNDER · BUILDS THE APP
Jeremiah is a software engineer and builds Chippie. His philosophy: get the simple, reliable workflow right first, then layer optional AI enhancements on top for the next generation, never the other way around.
NEWCASTLE BORN & BRED
The workflow
Three simple jobs, with everything else there when you need it.
Everyone sees the same job.
Details, photos, documents and the material list are saved to the job, and the whole team sees each change.
Invoice while the kettle's on.
With the touch of a button, turn the job into an invoice and send it. Your bank details are on it, and the client taps "I've paid" once the money is sent.
Paid, and into the books.
You'll still keep the books somewhere. Chippie syncs your clients and invoices across to Xero, so the numbers land where your accountant expects them, without typing everything in twice. How the Xero sync works.

Questions we get asked
Small trade and field-service businesses: handymen, carpenters, electricians, plumbers, landscapers, arborists, cleaners and the rest. If your work means heading to a site to quote a job, schedule it, then track it as it runs, Chippie is built for you.
Fair enough. Chippie works on the phone they already carry, iPhone or Android, the same full app either way. If they can text, they can use it. Still stuck after a fortnight? Give us a call and we'll set them up.
That's the whole idea. Three things to learn: quote, job, invoice. Nothing else. Start sending quotes right away.
No billboards, no sales team, low overheads. The lower price is how we run the company, not a discount that disappears later. You scale your business. We scale with more users. Support us to make better job management software available to more tradies.
On our Oracle Cloud server in Sydney. You can download all your business data instantly, set up regular backups, and permanently delete it from the server yourself, on demand. Each business runs in its own isolated database schema, so your records are walled off from every other business on Chippie. Read more in our privacy policy →
The app keeps working and everything stays readable. To create new jobs past that, you move to $25/mo for two users. If you don't, nothing is charged automatically.
Chippie is on Google Play and works the same on both, with the same features and no cut-down version.
No. Chippie is built by a professional software engineer over a full year, not thrown together overnight. The core quote, job and invoice workflow is engineered to be reliable and fast, with AI kept as an optional extra rather than the thing the app leans on. It is tested every day on real carpentry and tree-felling jobs before anything reaches you. If it is not solid enough to run our own business on, it doesn't ship.
Chippie is built by an Australian family trade business that runs on it daily, not an anonymous app that gets abandoned when the founder loses interest. The same people who write the code use it to invoice their own jobs. They can't walk away from it without breaking their own business first. And you can export or delete all your data yourself, any time, so you are never locked in.
The roadmap
Chippie ships every week or two. Here's the whole picture, in order, not by date. We'd rather ship it than announce it.
Each row drifts on its own. Hover, drag or swipe any of them to explore.
