What we've built, and what's next

TheGuys.app helps a Boss run his crew: send out jobs, see the work get done, and get everyone paid. It is built in the open, so here is everything that has shipped, month by month, and what is coming next.

Live today, still being built

TheGuys.app is in beta, and it is live: real crews run real jobs on it today, and real money moves through it. New features and fixes go live most days, and every update reaches everyone at once, so the app you sign up for keeps getting better without you lifting a finger.

The number is live. It comes from our own record of what reached the live site — nobody types it in, and it drops on a quiet month.

22days out of the last 30, we shipped something to the live siteLive number

Now, next, and later

Now

We are here

The app is in beta and open to any Boss who runs a crew. Sign up free, bring your Guys in on your invite, and join the real crews already running real jobs and moving real money through it.

Next

What we are working on.

  • Calling the people you bill clients on every screen and in every email, instead of a mix of customer and client.

Not live yet, and not promised.

Later

Ideas we may build, with no date yet.

  • More of the paperwork you still do by hand, moved into the app, starting with what the people already using it run into first.
  • Keeping count of the stock and supplies you carry, inside the app.

Before the beta label comes off, every user hears from us first, and nothing you have set up changes.

Plans change, and some of this may never get built. We update this page when they do.

This is called an RSS feed, and any app that says RSS will work.

Month by month

  1. April 2026

    • First line of code.
  2. May 2026

    • Describe a job in your own words, the way you would say it out loud, and the AI fills in the job form for you.
    • Send a job to your crew and watch who opens it, takes it, or passes.
    • Your Guys work the job from their phone: check in, tick off tasks, add photos.
    • Add the parts you used, priced from your own list.
    • Close out a job on site with your client signing right on the screen.
    • When you approve a finished job, each Guy's invoice for his pay is made automatically.
  3. June 2026

    • Pay your Guy's invoice by card right in the app, and the money goes to his bank.
    • Approve a Guy's invoice now and pay it later, by a due date, with a countdown on the invoice.
    • When a job has a check-in step, a Guy has to check in before he can turn in any work, so the hours are real.
    • A job's pay locks the moment you send it out and never changes while the job is live, so the deal a Guy said yes to is the deal he gets.
    • You and your crew see every change the second it happens, with no need to refresh.
    • Print or email any invoice as a clean PDF.
  4. July 2026

    • Turn on two-step login, so getting into your account takes a code from an app on your phone as well as your password, with one-time backup codes in case you lose the phone.
    • Get your alerts by text message, not just email.
    • Arrange your dashboard: put its sections in the order you want, and choose which money tiles show at the top.
    • Your Guys can add a job they took to their phone's calendar or to Google Calendar, right from the job card.
    • Add an optional travel fee to a job, and each Guy gets it as its own line on his invoice.
  5. August 2026

    • Bill your client straight from the job, and let them pay you online by card.
    • A Clients page that keeps everyone you bill in one place, where you can edit or archive them.
    • Invite your Guys to your crew by email.
    • Start any money box with an equals sign and it does the math for you, like =2600*.065 to work out a tax amount.
    • On your phone, every main screen sits in a bar along the bottom, and you swipe it sideways to reach the rest.
  6. September 2026

    • Your money tiles now count what clients pay you, not just what you pay your crew.
    • This page has a feed, and every update has its own link.
    • New prices on a client invoice save to your list on their own.
    • Add a client by hand, no job needed, with addresses suggested as you type.
    • Settings are sorted by what they do.
    • The start-up guide now includes a step for your Clients page.
    • Import your client list from a spreadsheet, and undo the whole import if you need to.
    • Add a nickname, and your crew and notifications call you by it.
    • A new phone number is confirmed with a texted code before it saves.
    • Write an estimate for a client before the work starts.
    • Archive any estimate, and delete one that was never sent or used for a job.
    • Attach an estimate to a job and read it right beside the job.
    • Mark a task No review, and it counts as approved when your Guy turns it in.
    • Change a job that is already out without cancelling it.
    • A Guy who cuts more than a quarter off his own invoice now says why.
  7. October 2026

    • Our Terms now say exactly what the app does, starting November 1, 2026.
    • If the last Guy says No to a change, the job returns to your drafts.
    • Email an estimate to your client, and they can accept or decline it online.
    • Send an estimate or invoice to your client again, once a day each.
    • When the AI's job draft is turned back, the app now says why.
    • The first payout to anyone new is reviewed for seven days, and every screen says so.
    • If your sign-in has ended, a button now takes you to sign in, not an error.
    • Your card's bank can now ask you to confirm a card payment is really you.
    • Move any dashboard section or money tile to a second screen you arrange yourself.
    • Job cards now show when each job starts and when it should be done.
    • Bill a client for work that was never a job, from New invoice on your dashboard.
    • Send an estimate or invoice to your client again up to five times a day, at least ten minutes apart, and the button shows the exact time it opens again.
    • Books is open: keep your bookkeeping inside the app, free for 30 days, then a monthly or yearly plan. Find it under Books in your menu.

Free for a Boss to sign up. No monthly fee for the app itself. Your Guys come in on your invite.
