The invoice app for contractors who’d rather text
The job is done. Why are you still working?
Ody is the assistant you text in Apple Messages. It drafts the invoice, sends it when you say OK, and follows up if it is late, so your night is yours.
No new app. If you can text your supplier, you are set up.
The problem
The office follows you home
Paperwork takes the average small business owner 8 hours a week
That is 10 full working weeks a year
And 77% of trade owners do it after dinner
Source: UK Admin Drain Report 2026 by HeyBRB, a survey of 167 UK small business owners in March 2026. Small sample, familiar shape. The full numbers are in the 9pm office shift.
How it works
Three texts. That is the whole system.
01
Text it like a person
02
The draft appears. Tweak it with one text
03
It goes out and stays handled
You decide what goes out. Ody handles the writing, sending, and follow-through.
What it does
One contact runs the office
Invoices? Drafted and sent from the driveway.
Late payers? Chased politely, on schedule, every time.
Quotes? From a rambling voice note to a clean email.
Emails? Written in your voice, sent with your OK.
Deadlines? Reminded before they bite, not after.
The numbers? Every job, every price, remembered.
All in the same thread. No dashboard behind it.
Voice notes
Write a quote without writing
The ramble goes in. The quote that wins the job comes out.
A real conversation
Friday, 4pm, from the tailgate
Ody

Subject: Invoice for Henderson exterior Hi Mark, Attached is the $3,200 invoice for the exterior work, including prep, two coats, and materials. Payment is due within 14 days. Thanks again, Dave
Make the last line less formal.
Revised: “Thanks for having us out. I appreciate the work.”
Send it.
Sent. I’ll follow up politely if it isn’t paid on time.

The full story
The invoicing app for contractors who hate apps
Every contractor invoice app promises the same thing: get paid faster. Then it hands you a dashboard, a login, and a training video. The work truck becomes a second desk. The tool you bought to shrink the admin becomes one more thing to manage on a Sunday.
Ody starts from a different fact: you already run the business by text. Suppliers, crew, customers, all of it happens in Messages. So that is where the office went. You text one contact what the job cost, and the invoice is drafted, sent under your name, and tracked until the money lands.
The part that actually gets you paid is the follow-up. Unpaid invoices age because asking twice is awkward and remembering to ask three times is impossible. Ody keeps a schedule you approved once: polite reminder, firmer reminder, escalation, and a text to you when payment arrives. Same-day invoices with real follow-up are how contractors get paid weeks faster, without one uncomfortable conversation.
Quotes work the same way. Walk the site, hold the mic button, and say the scope the way it sits in your head. The customer gets a clean, professional quote email while your competitor is still promising to send one by the weekend. And because Ody remembers every job, every price, and every agreement, the numbers stop living in your head rent free.
It works alongside the apps you already use, like Gmail, Google Calendar and QuickBooks. No dashboard. No modules. No per-seat pricing for a crew that will never log in. A flat monthly price for an office that runs from the truck, and 14 days to get your money back if it does not work on your real jobs.
Do the work in daylight. Leave the invoice in the driveway.

Two plans. Money back for 14 days.

Getting started
What happens after you tap the button
01
Tap the button, type your number
No download, no forms. Ody texts you first, usually within a minute.
02
Give it one real task
The invoice you have been putting off is the perfect first test. See the draft, change anything, say send.
03
Run it on real jobs, money back for 14 days
You pay today, with 60% off your first payment. Canceling is about as hard as sending one more text. If it is not for you inside 14 days, the money-back guarantee is one button, no questions.
Late invoices
Watch a late invoice get handled
The part you keep postponing, done without you.
You wrote four words. You got $1,900.
Common questions
You are probably thinking one of these
"I'm not a texter."
You text suppliers and your crew all day. One plain sentence is enough, and a rambling voice note works just as well.
"What if it sends something I didn't mean?"
Nothing leaves without your OK. Every invoice and email is a draft until you say send, and you can change anything with one more text.
"I already have QuickBooks."
Keep it. Ody is not accounting software. It is the one who types the invoice, sends it, and asks for the money so you do not have to.
"My clients are old school."
They never see anything new. They get a normal email and a normal invoice under your name. The texting part is just you and Ody.
The rules
What Ody never does
Texts your customers. Never.
Sends anything without your OK. Never.
Hides your business in a dashboard. Never.
Charges per seat for a crew that will never log in. Never.
