Easy Job Log, the painter's receipt camera
A one-phone job-profit calculator for solo painters that turns photographed receipts, hours, and van runs into an hourly take-home figure.
Field notes
Easy Job Log combines receipt photography with lightweight job accounting rather than trying to become a full contractor-management suite. The stated workflow reads the store and total from each photographed receipt, adds hours and van mileage at the IRS rate, and tracks the amount left from the quote while work is underway. The page illustrates the output with a Miller kitchen job: $2,400 quoted, $831.92 spent, and $71 per hour after 22 hours.
