Your jobs, your crew’s hours, your client list and your receipts are the record of how you make a living. Here’s exactly where it lives, who can see it, and how you get it out or wipe it — without asking anyone’s permission.
Straight answer: one tap in Settings exports your entire account to a spreadsheet, receipt images included. One button in Settings deletes it for real. No other contractor can see your rows, and JobTally makes money from the subscription — not from your data.
In Settings there’s a button that says “Download everything I have.” It builds one spreadsheet file covering your whole account: jobs, clients, estimates, invoices, change orders, time entries, receipts, mileage, photos, crew and payroll totals.
Photos and receipt images can’t sit inside a spreadsheet, so each one gets a working download link in the file. Those links are deliberately time-limited — they stop working a week after the export — because a permanent public link to your receipts is a leak waiting to happen. Re-run the export any time and you get fresh links.
You don’t email anybody for this and nobody approves it. It’s a button.
Settings has a two-step delete. You type your own email address to confirm, and then it removes your uploaded files, your records, and your login. It only ever deletes the account you’re signed in to — there is no way to point it at somebody else.
Your company’s data goes with you. Your crew aren’t deleted — those are their own logins, so they’re simply unlinked from you.
You delete yourself. The hours you already worked stay on your boss’s books, because those are his payroll and tax record — not yours to erase.
Export first if you want a copy. After a delete there is nothing to hand back.
Accounts aren’t separated by what the screens choose to show you — they’re separated in the database. Rules sitting on the data itself decide which rows your account is allowed to read, so a request for another company’s job comes back empty even if someone goes around the app entirely.
A worker’s app shows his own hours and the jobs he’s on. Pay rates, job profit, client contacts and invoices are the owner’s side.
GPS is stamped when a worker clocks in and when he clocks out. Nothing in between, ever. Workers see that stated plainly, in the app and in the privacy policy.
One person runs this company. He can reach production data to keep the app working and to fix something you report — the same as at any small software company, and it’s better that you hear it here than assume otherwise.
Every connection is HTTPS and the site refuses to load any other way. Passwords are stored hashed — nobody at JobTally can read yours.
Receipt images and job photos sit in private storage, not on an open URL. The app hands out short-lived links to the person who’s allowed to see them.
The database is backed up daily by the hosting platform on a paid plan — not the free tier that pauses and forgets.
JobTally makes money one way: the $150/mo subscription. Your data isn’t sold, rented, or turned into ad targeting.
A one-person software company doesn’t build its own datacenter. These are the companies JobTally runs on — the full list, with what each one actually sees:
| Company | What it does | What it sees |
|---|---|---|
| Supabase | Database, file storage, logins | Your account, job and client data, time and location entries, photos, hashed passwords |
| Vercel | Runs and delivers the app | Technical request data needed to serve pages |
| Stripe | Subscription payments | Billing details and your card — JobTally never stores a card number |
| Anthropic | Reads a photographed receipt to pull out the store and the amount | The receipt image and the text pulled from it |
| Resend | Sends invitations, alerts and account email | Email addresses and message contents |
| Cloudflare | Domain and email routing | Network routing information |
The legal version, including how long things are kept and your rights under CCPA and GDPR, is in the privacy policy.
Cancelling stops the billing. It doesn’t wipe your account and it doesn’t hold your history hostage — export it whenever you like. If you want it gone as well as stopped, use the delete button. Both are yours to press; neither needs a phone call.
The demo is the real app with sample numbers. No signup, no card, nothing to install.
