How to use Cutulator

Open cutulator.app in any browser — phone or computer.

On the office computer it opens in its own window, like a normal program.

• Phone browser: open cutulator.app → Share → Add to Home Screen. Installs like an app, and works with no signal.
• Office computer: open cutulator.app in Chrome or Edge → click the install icon at the right end of the address bar → Install. It gets its own window and icon. Mac Safari: File → Add to Dock.

• Where you work sets your currency, tax and how the paperwork reads. Pick the closest if yours isn't listed — every rate is yours to type over anyway.
• How you measure — Metric or Imperial, one tap either way, remembered, independent of country. Imperial boxes take real tape fractions: 8 1/2, 3/4, 1' 6 1/2".
• Concrete density — every weight in the app comes from this one number. The default errs heavy on purpose: these are lifting weights.

1. Type the slab's length, width and depth — or tap ⬡ Draw Slab / Peno Shape and place the corners on the grid, then type exact side lengths and ✓ Apply.
2. Pick the block size By Weight (what you can lift) or By Dimensions. Fit to Slab stretches blocks slightly so they divide evenly — no offcut; Lock keeps your number exact.
3. Read it back: block count, each block's weight, total cutting metres — and Which way to cut it compares both orientations and flags the one with fewer cuts.

Full penetration removal treats the slab as a peno and cuts the outer perimeter too. For the full job — relief cores, lifting, machines — step up to Job Builder.

1. Rectangle, circle, or draw the shape. Enter the depth.
2. Set core diameter and overlap — the centre-to-centre spacing works itself out.
3. Perimeter only, or add an internal grid by block size or target weight.

You get total cores, perimeter and internal counts, total drilled metres, each core's weight and the net block weights. Standard edge keeps every hole inside the line; Clean Edge lands the scallops on the line itself for a clean finished face.

1. 1Penetration & edges. Slab or wall, sizes typed or drawn. Then tap each side of the picture and tell it the truth: finished line → open / free → against wall / floor. The plan respects every answer — an obstructed edge gets its own finish (this saw with a flush kit, stitch drill, or wire).
2. 2Machine. Pick the saw; it brings its reach, blade and flange, overcut and relief needs. Machines that can't do this peno grey out.
3. 3Are overcuts allowed? No (default): every cut end that would overrun into kept concrete gets relief cores, corners included. Yes: only where an engineer has approved the overrun.
4. 4Blocks. By dimensions, by target weight, or whole piece. Check the resulting weights — they print everywhere.
5. 5Lifting cores. None for hand-carried; add per-block cores if a crane or forklift is lifting. ✏️ Edit lifting cores lets you tap and drag them.
6. 6Slither cut. A thin hand-removable strip that gives the row below room to tilt out. Drag the hatched strip to place it.

✎ Edit plan is yours: drag any cut or core and the engine re-derives blocks, weights, metres and cores around your change. Then 📄 PDF for the crew — or 💲 QUOTE THIS JOB and every line prices itself from your book.

1. 1The book. You start on the sample book — everything works, badged SAMPLE on every page so it can't pass as your pricing. ✎ Start from this sample copies it into YOUR book; then every band, rate, minimum and loading below is yours to change. Rates for every saw by depth band, coring by diameter band, hourly and daily gear (call-out blocks included — one price covering the first hours, hourly after), minimum charges by timing, and your terms.
2. 🏢Company. Name, tagline, logo — printed on every document.
3. 💳Getting paid. Bank details, PayID, an optional Stripe payment link — set once, printed on every quote and invoice automatically.
4. 🧑You. Your name, mobile, ABN — the "Quoted by" line, personal to this device. Put your mobile in here and clients who sign remotely get a one-tap "text the cutter it's signed."

Buttons along the top: ⇩ Export book / ⇧ Import book move the whole book between devices (the office sends it to every phone). ＋ Client book copies the current book for a client with special rates — the Quote tab asks which book once there's more than one.

1. 📊 Rates to spreadsheet exports ONE csv — every rate and band, your terms, your JSA and Pre-Start checklists (one line per row; a line ending in a colon is a heading), and your bank details.
2. Open it in Excel or Google Sheets. Change the VALUE column only.
3. 📈 Spreadsheet back. The whole sheet comes in or none of it — never half a book.

Running several books from the office: the sheet's name (top-left cell) picks the book. Standard updates your standard book, Mirvac rates updates that client book — and a name the app doesn't know creates a new client book from the sheet.

🦺 Crew file exports just your words — terms, JSA, Pre-Start — to text to every worker. Their dockets carry your checklists; your prices never go to their phones.

1. 1When is the job? Business hours or an off-hours tier — minimum charges follow the timing. ＋ Add crew prices your blokes: hours × men, labour rate in hours, the right overtime tier after.
2. 2Add a line. Coring by Ø, depth and count · sawing by metres and depth · trenches (spacing rule of thumb built in, piece weights print on the line) · wire by face and cuts · hourly · daily gear · or a custom line with your own price. Gear with an operator charges call-out + hours; dry hire charges days — the box knows which it's holding.
3. 3Who it's for. Client, site, the number (counts up on its own — set it once to match your books), validity. 📄 Quote / 🧾 Tax invoice is one switch — same lines, same totals, different paper. 📥 From a docket is the office door (below). Attach the cutting plan — the picture wins jobs — and up to 6 photos.
4. 4Getting paid. Pay on completion, or PREPAID stamps payment-before-work on the front. Bank details print automatically from My Rates.
5. 5The quote. Every line listed with its price — tap any line and rewrite anything; a hand price rescues a POA line. Add a contingency (% or $) that prints as its own labelled line. Then 📄 PDF.

Cards ③ and ④: the extras carry the reason, and equipment is a tap each.

1. •The head. A docket started from My Day says who and where — Hutchies · PO 4471 · 12 Smith St, Gosford — and The rest is in My Day ›. The briefing (contact, power, water, the office's notes) lives on My Day, not on the paper the client signs. ① The job folds behind it; tap EDIT or the title to open the whole form (the walk-up job has it open already). Past clients suggest themselves from your own archive — on-device only.
2. •Your day. Time on and time off, big (the picker offers quarter hours and never corrects you — 7:05 is 7:05). The operator is filled in from your card; the date from today.
3. 2The work — what you did. The same Add-a-line picker the office quotes and books with — pick the machine, the size, the depth, ＋ Add to docket — and the line lands in the docket's own grid: Qty · Saw/Drill · Material · Wall/Floor/Inverted · Width/Ø · Depth. The office's booked lines are already in it. No empty rows — a row appears when a line lands. Tap a line to edit it; sizes with units ("300mm", "0.3m") are believed as written; mark angled holes with ↗ Angled.
4. 3What else happened. Waiting, labour, extra man, induction — hours plus the reason, because the office prices what it can read. Parking: the fee if you know it, or tap ✓ Paid and the office prices it. Then Off the truck — the gear the office booked and what you ticked, + more gear for the rest — the site conditions, your notes, and a photo of the finished cuts.

🦺 JSA / Pre-Start is its own page behind the button under the docket number — optional, there when the site wants it. Every line has three buttons: Yes · No · N/A (tap the lit one again to clear it; a line nobody touched means nobody looked). The questions are whatever the boss set under Office › Company › Words on your paper, with their own two signatures — the JSA signer and the docket signer can be different people.

Together on site: the client signs the pad on your phone (⤢ Sign big for a full-screen pad), you sign as witness. Done. The words the client signs to sit behind the ⓘ.

Not together: open Client not here? › and tap 🔗 Send to client to sign — your phone's share screen opens with the message written (Hutchies docket MD-14 — tap to sign: link); pick a text or an email and send. Cancel the share and nothing is marked sent; the link is on your clipboard either way. What they see:

Exactly what your client opens. No app, nothing to install, and not a price anywhere on it.

1. A plain web page — no app, nothing to install, no prices on it. The docket, the hours, the checklists as ticked.
2. They sign with a finger, print their name, add their PO and notes if they want.
3. They press one button. Their signature comes home to your phone by itself — the app checks whenever you open the docket and every 30 seconds while one is out, and tells you the moment it lands.
4. The page offers them their own signed PDF to keep, and (if your mobile's on your card in Setup) a one-tap "text the cutter it's signed."

Then the big ⇪ Send to office — on a crew phone the docket goes up sealed and the office collects it onto the board; with no office wired, it is ONE file that reads as the signed PDF and opens in Cutulator. ＋ New docket files this one under 📁 Past dockets and starts the next. The docket number is the office's to hand out — the box is read-only; a paper docket written up later just takes the next number, with the paper's number in the notes.

The docket above, priced off the book and turned into a tax invoice. Every line reads back to the work that was done.

1. Quote & Invoice tab → card ③ → 📥 From a docket → pick the file the worker sent (the PDF itself, or an old .json — both work).
2. Everything lands as lines: work rows at $0 for you to price (cores with real sizes price themselves off the book), hours at their rates, ticked equipment as daily lines, the parking, the notes.
3. Price the $0 lines (tap, type), flip the switch to 🧾 Tax invoice, PDF, send. Re-importing a corrected docket replaces its lines — nothing doubles.

📥 Received dockets keeps every import: Open shows the signed record itself — ink, photo, checklists; Load re-prices it; ✕ clears it. Status flips to invoiced when the invoice prints.

Beside Past dockets. Every quote and invoice files itself here the moment its PDF is made — number, client, date, status. The orange ones are your unpaid invoices; tap ✓ Paid when the money lands. Open reprints any paper exactly as it went out — your rates moving later never rewrites an old invoice. Holds a year and more.

On the Past papers card: ⬇ Xero CSV — this month (or last month, or the financial year). The file is built to Xero's own import format — Sales → Invoices → Import, straight in. MYOB AccountRight, QuickBooks Online and Reckon import the same file through their column-mapping screens. Amounts ex-GST, tax named on every line, exactly as the importers want.

Bookkeeper uses a particular sales account code or tax rate name? Set the two Accounting rows in the rates spreadsheet — otherwise Australian defaults apply. ⬇ Ledger CSV exports your own full record — every paper, status, paid date.

The phone call, straight onto the board — and the day picked in two taps.

1. Scheduling tab → Book a job — the phone rang. Type the work as they said it (cut a stair opening, 200 slab), the client, the address → ＋ Book it.
2. The client and address boxes remember — past jobs and dockets suggest themselves as you type, on-device only.
3. Tap the job to open its card: the plan lines (the docket's own seven columns, machine chips from your one machine list), site contacts — as many as the site needs — power and water, notes to the man, and a go-first task if he has to grab gear on the way.

1. On the job's card: When do they want us there — Today, Tomorrow, the next five days as chips, or a date box for anything further out.
2. Start is a real answer, not always a clock: First job · Second job · Anytime — because plenty of clients don't want you at six and are happy to wait until someone finishes their first job — or a clock time when there is one.
3. No date yet is honest and allowed — see the pile below. Words typed on an old booking ("confirm Mon arvo") are kept and shown until you pick the day.

Every job in the queue says its day on its own line — 📅 Tue 1 Sep · Second job — and the queue sorts by day, jobs with a set time first.

A job with no day waits where you can see it — and two taps place it.

Jobs with no date sink to the bottom of the queue under one heading, NO DATE YET, oldest first, each one wearing its age — sitting 9 days. A booking needs a day; until it has one it sits where you meet it every time you book anything, so the job the client rings about is never the one nobody looked at.

1. The crew, right now reads FREE or OUT against every name, with what each man is cleared to run beside him at the moment you decide.
2. On the day view, tap the man's chip, then tap the job. Tap a second man and the same job and he's on it too — a job carries as many men as it needs, the whole crew if it takes the whole crew. The first man dealt holds the docket; the day view says so (👥 Mick · Dave — Mick has the docket). Tap a man who's on it to take him off; if the docket holder comes off, the next man takes the docket.
3. The deal is the send. The job lands sealed on every man's phone — client, site, times, notes, the plan, and who else is on it. No second button to forget. His rates? There aren't any on it — prices never ride.
4. ⬇ COLLECT pulls the crew's word back — who's done, what's landed.

A finished visit can be dealt again — same job, next day, same or different operators. Carry-over is the trade's normal day, not an error.

Deal a task — not a job, no docket at the end of it: go to the yard, pick up the genny, drop the wire saw off for service. Type what, pick who from the roster (or leave it undealt) → Deal it. A task ends in done, not paper.

A go-first task typed on a job's card hangs on that job and rides first on the man's day — the gear gets picked up before he drives past the yard.

On the man's phone, the My Day tab: what the office dealt you — where, who, what to know. His day is a sequence, not a timetable: what he's done, what he's on, and what's next only once the office has dealt it — because nobody really knows how long a job takes, and the office usually hands out the next one when he calls in free.

The card he's on is the briefing: the address with a copy button and Navigate (whatever map app he uses), a big 📞 button for the site contact, the work in column order, Power / Water / Induction / Gate / Parking as chips, 🧰 what to bring, the office's notes in a box — and one big ▶ Start the docket. On a job with the whole crew on it, the man who was dealt first has the docket; the others' cards say Mick has the docket and carry no docket button — one docket for the job.

✓ I'M DONE tells the office he's free — no phone call needed. When he opens the docket for the job he's on, it starts already filled in from the booking.

➤ QUOTE IT on a job's card opens Quote & Invoice with the plan's lines carried across, and the quote number rides back on the job. Going the other way, 📅 Book it on a quote puts it on the board as a QUOTED job. Both roads are real — some jobs start with a phone call, some start with a quote — and the paper trail holds together by the numbers.

Never a dollar on the board itself. Money lives in Quote & Invoice; the board holds the work.

Install tab → follow the taps for your phone. It is the step people leave and then regret — everything you type before it can be left behind — so the app puts it first.

iPhone (Safari): the share button — at the bottom of the screen on older iOS, under ⋯ at the top on newer — then Add to Home Screen → Add. Do this first: a home-screen app starts its own fresh copy, so anything you set up in the browser stays behind. Joined a company already? Open the home-screen app and sign in again with the same mobile — your company comes back.
Android (Chrome): the three dots at the top right → Add to Home screen → Install.

Why it matters on a job: it opens like an app instead of you hunting through twenty tabs, it fills the whole screen so the docket buttons are where your thumb expects them, and it keeps working with no signal in a basement or a lift shaft.

And it is the safest place for your work. Everything you type lives on this phone first. What leaves it — your update to the office, your company's own copy — travels sealed, and the privacy policy lists every bit of it. A browser tab is easy to close by accident, easy to lose in a tab-cleanup, and a browser that has not seen a site for a long stretch is entitled to clear what that site saved. The app asks your browser to mark this data as persistent, which is what actually protects it from being cleared, and a browser is far more willing to grant that to something you have installed than to a tab you visited once. Check it any time: Setup tab, the status card, the Storage line.

How much room you get depends on the browser, and the permission is what unlocks the good end of it. On Firefox, a site that has not been granted persistence is held to about a tenth of the disk; once it is granted, that becomes about half. On Chrome, Edge and Safari the allowance is already generous — roughly 60% of the disk — and the permission does not raise it; what it changes there is that your work stops being treated as disposable. Either way, installing is what gets the permission granted.

One thing worth knowing on an iPhone: a web page opened inside another app — a link from a message or a job-board app — is only allowed about a quarter of what Safari itself gets. Another reason to work from the icon on your home screen rather than whatever tab you last tapped a link in.

Setup tab → Your name. This is the one name the app has for you: it prints on your card, on the dockets you sign and on the ticket bundle you hand a site office. Type it the way it appears on your tickets — a docket signed "Jaz" against a white card that says "Jarrod Rapson" gets questioned at the gate.

Your card reads this name; it never keeps a second copy. Change it in Setup and everything follows. On a crew or quoter's phone it arrives filled in — the name the office put you on with. Check it matches your tickets, and fix it here if it doesn't.

Setup tab → tap the face on your card → take one or pick one. Head and shoulders, no hard hat over your eyes — it is what a site supervisor compares against you at the gate. The photo travels only inside your own update to your office, sealed — nowhere else.

On your card — "Concrete cutter", "Leading hand", "Operator". It prints under your name on the card and on the papers you send.

On a crew or quoter's phone you will not see this step: your title and your can-do boxes are the office's word, not yours, so the app does not stand there asking you for something you are not allowed to give. It arrives with your seat.

Tickets tab → ＋ Add a ticket → pick the type, type the number, photograph the front and the back. White card, HR licence, EWP, confined space, first aid — whatever you carry.

Add the expiry date if it has one. The app watches expiries for you and warns you before a ticket goes out, so you find out in your own driveway instead of at a gate at six in the morning. One ticket finishes this step, but a bundle is only worth what is in it — put them all in.

On your card → Can do → tick the gear you are cleared to run — core drill, floor saw, wall saw, ring saw, chain saw, wire saw, Brokk — whatever you run. On everyone else's phone it rides down from the office and shows on their card read-only, so a phone and the office's training records can never disagree.

Crew and quoter phones do not set this: the office ticks it, because being cleared to run a machine is their call, not yours. A one-man band is never asked — it is only ever something the office uses.

Office → Company → type the trading name exactly as it should print on quotes and invoices. It appears on every paper, on the crew's tickets and in the signature screen the client sees.

Same card. An invoice without an ABN is not a tax invoice, so it prints on every one. Eleven digits, spaces are fine. Outside Australia the field reads ABN / business no. and takes whatever your country calls it — an EIN in the States, a company number in the UK.

Same card → Logo → pick a PNG or JPG. It prints top-left on every quote, invoice and docket. Without one the company name prints there in plain type, which is perfectly fine. The picture is part of your company badge, so it travels with the paper you send — it rides down to your crew's phones and onto the docket your client signs. It is never sold, shared, or used for anything else.

Office → Company → Bank details → account name, BSB and account number. These print in the PAYMENT block on every invoice and every quote — a quote carries them because a prepaid job has to be paid before anyone turns up. They travel sealed, like the rest of the company: to a second office machine or a quoter you add, and in the office's own copy on our server, so a lost phone or a new computer gets them back — the privacy policy says exactly what is held and why. A backup file never leaves your hands unless you send it.

Same card → Pay online link. If you have a Stripe, Square or PayPal payment page, paste its address here and every invoice carries a "Pay online" button beside the bank details. Clients who pay by card pay faster.

Getting a Stripe payment link: sign in at stripe.com → Payment Links → New → leave the amount blank so the client types what the invoice says → Create → copy the link. That link is all the app needs. The app never holds your Stripe login or any key — only the public address a client can already see.

No card payments yet? Leave it blank. Bank details alone are a complete invoice.

Office → Company → Invoice terms (days to pay) → pick how a client pays: N days (seven, fourteen and thirty are the usual ones), the 20th of the following month, or End of month + N days. The due date prints from this on every invoice.

Office → Company → 📥 Xero / MYOB inbox → the email address your papers should go to. When a worker finishes a docket, or the office makes an invoice, the share sheet offers that address first so nothing lands in a personal inbox. Leave it blank and the share sheet just asks each time.

My Rates tab → ✎ These are sample rates — make them yours. Your book starts with every table and tier in place and every price blank — not one of the sample's dollars crosses. The counter at the top (225 of 225 rates still to fill) moves as you type, and each folded table says how many it still needs. A quote refuses a line it cannot price rather than inventing $0. The book only ever travels sealed — to the office and quoters you add, and to your own copy for a lost phone.

Be straight with yourself about the sample rates. They are real numbers and the app will quote off them. They are there so you can drive the whole thing before you spend a day typing prices — not so you can send one to a client.

Before you press it you are safe: the paper prints as Sample Concrete Cutting with a BSB of 000-000, so nobody could act on it if they tried. The moment the book is yours, that safety net is gone — your own company and your own bank go on the paper. The rates are blank until you type them, so a quote with a blank rate says so on the send button rather than going out at $0 — and the client’s copy never carries that warning. The check is yours: read your own screen before you send.

Office → Company → 🔢 Numbering (the card is always there; if you have not started your rates book yet, the first thing you type into it starts the book). Each man's dockets are numbered by his seat — JR-1, JR-2 — so no two phones ever share a number. Quotes and tax invoices run as one company run under your prefix: SS-Q12 is a quote, SS-INV7 a tax invoice. Already running your own numbers? ＋ Ranges → put your next one in as the range start and the app carries on from there. Leave it alone and the app numbers everything for you.

Office → Crew. Type his name and his mobile, pick the role — 🦺 Cutter sees dockets and tickets, no money rooms; 💲 Quotes too prices work on your rates, sealed so only his phone can open them (he invoices nothing — that stays the office's); 🏢 Office too is a second office machine, as the company — quotes, invoices, papers, the board and the crew, in their name — and press ＋ Add. He is on your books that moment, and his invite waits for him for 30 days. 📤 Text them opens your phone's share screen with the words written — they carry nothing secret, just sign in with this number. On a computer, the words are there to copy. Buy seats first (🪑 Buy seats, under the roster): a seat is the $9.99 app paid by the company, and it is dealt the moment you add him — when he signs in, his phone is unlocked and on your books. No seat in the pool and the app tells you so; his phone stays on the $9.99 wall until you buy seats and add him again (or he buys his own copy and keeps it whatever happens). On the free fortnight ten seats come with it — they land in the pool by themselves, the first ten people you add take them, and they end when the fortnight does; a bought seat never lapses. Got the whole crew in a list? 📋 Paste a list → ＋ ADD ALL puts them all on at once. Solo operator with no crew? Skip this one.

On his end it is one step: he opens cutulator.app on his phone, taps I'm joining a company, and signs in with the mobile you typed. A code comes by text, and he lands straight on your books. Nothing to paste, nothing to find. Lost his phone? Same again on the new one while his invite is still in date; after that, add him again.

Under the roster the tally counts what the company is running: seats spare, seats dealt, and how many devices that is. Business covers up to 10 devices (every phone and machine, yours included), Business XL up to 25. More than that and we would rather talk to you — support@cutulator.com.

One company, two people in the office, no clashes. Office → Crew → 🏢 Office too, their name, ＋ Add. Their invite carries the office itself — your company card and bank details, your rates book, the roster, the seats, the letterbox — all sealed, and it waits 30 days for them to sign in with the mobile or email you typed. It takes a seat like any phone and runs on the company's subscription. Their machine is then the company: it quotes and invoices as you, and everything it does is signed with their name, so the papers list reads paid — marked by Rose.

The numbers never collide. Invoice and quote numbers come from one company run — whoever makes the paper gets the next number, and no number is ever used twice. Off signal a paper still gets made and the app says the number is provisional until you are back on.

Everything else keeps up by itself, about every half minute while the Office is open: a docket that lands is filed once, whichever machine collects it; a booking moved on one board moves on the other; a quote or invoice filed on one shows on both. If two people change the same job inside a minute, the later one stands and the other machine says so. Nothing runs when the app is closed.

Office → Company → 📁 Where your papers live → 📁 Pick the folder. Choose a folder on this computer (or a synced one like OneDrive or Dropbox) and from then on every quote, invoice, docket and report is also written there as a PDF — Quotes/2026, Invoices/2026, Dockets, Reports — the moment it is made. The browser will ask you to allow it; say yes. It is a mirror, not the database: the app keeps working if the folder goes away. When the browser restarts it lets go of the folder — the app says so, and you pick the same folder again; nothing is lost. Phones and Safari cannot do this, which is why the step only shows where it is possible.

Setup tab → 💾 Back up → ⇩ Back up. One file holds your rates, your clients, every paper and every seat. Put it somewhere that is not this computer, then tap ✓ I have got the file — the app can't see your Downloads, so this step only ticks when you say you have it. The card tells you how long since the last one.

1How much petrol. 2Pick the ratio (or type one and save it). 3Read the oil in mL, with the breakdown. Tip: oil first, then petrol on top, shake well.

Block: rectangle or drawn shape × depth. Core: Ø × depth, common sizes one tap away. Weights flip to tonnes when they earn it. Estimates — always work to your gear's SWL/WLL.

1Floor or wall. 2Hole Ø and thickness. 3Your rig's geometry (defaults suit the Hilti DD350 on the HD-30 stand — all editable, save your own rig). 4The angle — slider, typed, or worked back from a known offset. You get the total drilled length (= the barrel to order, +10% safety), the anchor distance at that angle, the entry-opening ellipse to mark, and the core's weight. Mark both entry and exit centres before drilling.

Thickness, machine, flange, blade → the overcut past each corner at depth, whether that blade reaches full depth, and the two ways out: 🔩 Stitch to avoid overcut plans the corner cores; Sink blade deeper shows how an oversized blade sunk past "just touching", stopped short of the corner, still reaches it with less surface overcut.

Pick brand, pick model — anchor and foot distances, factory figures and field practice side by side. Always verify against your own machine and manual before drilling.

Camera or gallery, then tap to place dots — lines connect themselves; tap an existing dot to branch. Add core circles, arrows, text notes. Undo, clear, fullscreen. Share it or drop it straight into the job report.

Bubble level flat on the surface, or angle mode sitting upright on its bottom edge (0° = plumb). Hold freezes the reading. iPhones ask permission for the sensors once.

From any tool: 📄 PDF. Tick which sections join (orange = has data), add your logo, company name and job reference, preview, share. The Quote PDF is its own layout with the plan behind it.

Everything lives on your device — so the backup is yours too. Setup → ⇩ Back up makes one file: rates, words, papers, dockets, bank details. Keep it somewhere only you can get to — a USB stick, or your own cloud drive. Don't email it: on an office computer this file can open your office. New phone: install Cutulator, ⇧ Restore from a backup file, enter your unlock code. A lost phone costs you the phone and nothing else.

The docket number counts up on its own; the field is editable, so set it once to match your books. A boss can set a prefix and hand each phone its own number range — when a phone runs low it says so.

iPhone: open it in Safari, then Share → Add to Home Screen. Android: open it in Chrome, then Install app from the menu. Either way it lands as a proper icon and runs full screen with no address bar. Dockets, tickets, the calculators, signing a client, sending the paper — all of it works on the phone, and it works with no signal.

Use Chrome or Edge. They are the browsers that can be handed a folder, so they are the ones that can file every quote, invoice and docket PDF straight onto your own drive as it is made — Setup → Back up this device → 📁 File to a folder on this computer. Pick the folder once and it keeps doing it. That row only appears where the browser can actually do it, so it will not offer you something and then fail.

The office runs perfectly well — quoting, invoicing, dockets, the ledger, backups. The only thing you will not see is the file to a folder row, because those browsers cannot be handed a folder to write into. You still get every paper as a normal download, and ⇩ Back up still makes the one file that holds the lot. If you want the automatic filing, run the office side in Chrome or Edge.

A second office computer is a full till — its own book, its own numbering — and it is included, not a second seat. Point both at the same folder and either one can pull in the other's papers with ⇩ Pull in the other computer's papers. It is a union, never an overwrite: nothing of yours is ever changed by pulling.

Your price book, your clients, your dockets, your quotes and your invoices live on the phone or computer you typed them into, and travel between your office and your crew sealed. Sign in with your mobile or your email — no password, ever.

If you run a company, our server keeps its files sealed with the keys beside them, so a new phone can bring your company straight back. We could read them. We never look. The full story, and why it has to be that way, is on the privacy page.

On your own (Just me), your work stays on your device, so the backup file below is your safety net.

Sealed on your device before it goes: the day the office hands a man, the dockets he sends back, the company's papers, a crew member's card update, and the invite when you add someone. A crew member's invite carries no prices; an office or quoter's carries your rate book.

The one nobody can read, us included: a docket you send a client to sign. Its key rides in the link itself, never on a server — and it carries no prices at all. Your client sees the work, never your rates.

Quoting and invoicing run in any browser on the office machine — nothing to install, and the work is saved on that computer. The blokes' phones keep their own dockets; the office keeps the office's.

Each device holds its own work. Moving a rate book from the office to the phones is what Export price book in Setup is for.

Browsers are allowed to clear a website's storage when a device runs low on room. Cutulator asks yours not to, and Setup → 🔑 This app tells you plainly whether it agreed.

If it says your browser could clear it, the fix is to install Cutulator properly — Share → Add to Home Screen on a phone, or the install button in your browser's address bar on a computer. An installed app is granted the protection freely. The card has a button that walks you there.

"Clear browsing data" will still wipe it, on any device. That is what the backup is for.

Setup → ⇩ Back up gives you one file with the lot: rates, clients, dockets, papers, bank details. Keep it somewhere only you can get to — a USB stick, or your own cloud drive. Don't email it: on an office computer this file can open your office.

The card remembers when you last did it and says so. If you have work in the app and no backup, it will tell you — once, with a button, not a nag.

The ATO wants business records kept five years, and digital copies count as long as they are clear and you can actually find them again. A backup file a month, kept somewhere real, covers you.

Thousands of dockets, photos and all. The app shows you what it is holding in Setup → 🔑 This app — how many dockets, how many quotes and invoices — so you are never guessing.

On the device you typed it into — and, if you run a company, sealed on our server with your company's keys, so a new phone can bring it back. Your book is sealed with your company's key alone: if you and another cutter across town both use Cutulator, your two books never touch.

Your rates only move where you send them: to the office staff and quoters you add, to your own copy for a lost phone, or into a backup or export file you save yourself.

1. Signing in — your mobile or email, to Google's Firebase, which texts the code. Never a rate, a client, an invoice or a docket.
2. An invite — when the office adds a man: his mobile, the company's name, his role, and a sealed parcel. A crew member's carries no prices; an office or quoter's carries the rate book. An invite nobody takes stops opening after 30 days. Once he's taken it, it stays good while he's on your books — so a lost phone can still come home — and it's switched off the moment you take him off.
3. The office's own copy — the same parcel, for the office's own mobile, so a lost office phone comes home.
4. A dealt job — the office handing a man his day: client, site, times and notes down to his phone; his done, and the docket he presses ⇪ Send to office on, back up. Sealed both ways with the company's key, and never a rate in either direction.
5. A crew update — what a crew phone sends to its office, sealed: his name, photo and ticket words, his signed dockets and inspection forms, his hours for each day (started, finished, breaks, when he was rained off, and his note) until the office has answered them, his time-off asks (dates, kind and note) until the office answers them, the jobs he's marked done, how many docket numbers he has left, quote numbers and dates, and one word for how his phone was unlocked. No prices, ever. It stops opening after 7 days.
6. The office's answers — down to one crew phone, sealed with his own key: his hours approved or sent back (with the office's note), any day the office entered for him, the company's public holidays, the office's yes or no to his time off, and his days away. It stops opening after 7 days.
7. A signing link — one docket, sent to a client to sign. No rates, no invoice, no other job, and its key is never on a server. It stops opening after 30 days.
8. Your own files — a PDF you send, a backup you save, a book you export. These go exactly where you send them, and nowhere else.

Everything on that list is scrambled on the phone before it goes (AES-GCM, 256-bit). What the server in the middle can see is a block of scrambled text, how big it is, and when it arrived. On an invite it also sees the mobile or email, the company name and the role, with the key beside the parcel — that's how a new phone gets in.

A signing link is the strongest: its key is the part of the address after the #, and browsers never send that part to any server. Nobody but you and your client can open it — not Google, not us.

Everything else is sealed with your company's key, and that key is kept on our server so a new phone can prove who you are and get your company back. That means we could open your company's files. We never look — and we would rather tell you that than pretend otherwise. Why it has to be this way.

Nothing is shared between companies — not a customer list, not a numbering run. Each company's files are sealed with its own key and addressed by a code worked out from that key. Another company's app cannot find your files and could not open one if it did.

And two firms in the same town can both run DK-1042 without a problem. A docket number only means anything inside your own book, and every docket, quote and invoice carries your company name and ABN at the top. A client keeps supplier and number together — the same way two different suppliers can both send them invoice 500 in the same week.

A worker on a crew seat sees his day (the jobs the office dealt him), dockets, his tickets and his card. He does not see your rates, your quotes, your invoices or what a job was worth. A quoter (Quotes too on the Crew screen) prices work off your book — a locked copy rides sealed in his invite, so he can quote on your rates without the rates moving on his phone or travelling any further; leave Can see prices off and he quotes without ever seeing the numbers. Office sees the lot. It is one choice per person, made on the Crew card when you add him.

Yes — every calculator, the docket, quoting, the PDFs, the lot. Your rates and clients live on the device and never need a connection.

Open it once with signal so it can install itself, then it starts in a basement, under a bridge or west of Dubbo like anything else on your phone. The only things that need a connection are the remote-signing link and its trip back.

No. Your book is sealed with your own company's key — another company's app cannot find it and could not open it. We could, because the keys live on our server so a lost phone can come home; we never look. The full answer, road by road.

On your device — and, if you run a company, sealed on our server with its keys, so a new phone brings it back. Encrypted, never sold, take it or delete it any time. What we hold, and why.

You're on the sample rate book — deliberate, so you can try the whole quoting side before paying. Start your own book in My Rates and the badge goes the moment your rates are real.

Cutulator Solo — $29 a month (or $290 a year) — one man, one ABN. Your own rates on your own quotes and tax invoices, your company and bank details on every paper, the booking board, the job history, the backup and the shared folder. Your phone and your office computer, both on the one price. What you don't get is crew: no seats to hand out, no dockets off other blokes' phones — the day you put a second man on, that's Business.

Cutulator Business — $79 a month (or $790 a year) to put your own rates behind the paperwork — quotes and tax invoices with your prices, your company and your bank details, plus the office side of the docket. Per business, every device you own, not per user: your blokes never need it, their $9.99 app does dockets all day. 14 days free first, no card.

Yes — it comes out monthly (or yearly, whichever you picked) until you cancel. Renews until you cancel — you keep every tool you bought; only the quoting side winds down at the end of what you’ve paid for. On a founding code, the discount runs your first twelve months and then the normal price takes over — no surprises, it's on your Stripe receipt every month.

Email support@cutulator.com — you'll be talking to the bloke who cuts concrete and built this.
