One app for labor, photos, projects and jobsite intelligence — from the first clock-in to the final punch-out. Here’s the full picture.
Create jobs, assign crews, and watch progress come together — from the truck, the trailer, or the office.
Every job in one place, start to punch-out.
Spin up a job in seconds, assign the crew, set the location, and track it from kickoff to completion. Status, photos, hours, notes, and logs all live on the job — no more hunting through texts and folders.
Put the right crew on the right job.
Plan the week, assign crews to jobs by day, and keep everyone clear on where they’re headed tomorrow. Changes sync to every phone instantly.
See jobs and crews on the map.
Every job is pinned to its address. See active sites and where your crews are working at a glance, and get directions to any jobsite in a tap.
A clean record of every day on site.
Log the crew on site, the weather, what got done, and what’s next — automatically organized by job and date. Build the paper trail clients and inspectors ask for without the paperwork.
Drive open items to done.
Capture defects and open items with a photo and a note, assign them, and track each one to completion. Nothing slips between walkthrough and final sign-off.
Your crew clocks in from their phones. You get accurate hours, labor costs, and a payroll-ready report — no spreadsheets, no lost time cards.
One-tap clock in, GPS-stamped.
Crew members clock in and out from their phone, tied to the job and stamped with location. Breaks and overtime are handled automatically, and you see who’s on the clock in real time.
Know your labor spend as it happens.
Hours roll up against pay rates so you can see labor cost per job while the work is still going — not after the invoice is late.
Regular, overtime, per-job — done.
Approved hours export into a clean, payroll-ready breakdown by employee and job. Run payroll in minutes instead of reconstructing the week from memory.
The numbers behind every job.
Labor, hours, and job-cost reports give you the full picture across crews and projects — the data you need to bid the next job right.
The Early Bird reads every site photo so your team doesn’t have to — flagging hazards, captioning work, and turning photos into a searchable record.
Every photo, scanned for safety.
Each site photo is automatically analyzed and hazards are tagged — exposed rebar, fall risks, open excavations, housekeeping issues — so safety problems get spotted and addressed before they become incidents.
Photos that tag and describe themselves.
AI captions every photo, identifies the trade and work shown, and verifies progress — so your photo log is searchable, organized, and ready to share without anyone typing a caption.
Every photo, tagged to the job.
Snap photos in the field and they’re automatically filed to the right job — before/after, by date, by trade. A complete visual record for clients, disputes, and warranty claims.
Bring your people on with a text, set their roles, and keep every conversation attached to the work it’s about.
Invite by text, manage in seconds.
Add your team with a text invite, set roles and permissions, and assign pay rates. See who’s on the clock and who’s on which job, live.
Chat where the work is.
Message by job or by crew, share photos, and tag people — so the conversation lives on the job instead of getting buried in a group text.
See the whole operation, live.
Everything updates in real time across every device — who’s clocked in, what photos just came in, which jobs are moving. The office and the field finally share one view.
Fast, offline-ready, and on every device your crew already carries.
No signal? No problem.
Clock in, snap photos, and log work with no cell service. Everything is saved on the device and syncs automatically the moment you’re back in range — nothing is ever lost.
The whole team, every device.
Native apps for the field crew and a full web app for the office. One account, everything in sync, wherever you work.
Connect it to your stack.
A developer API lets you pull jobs, hours, and photos into the tools you already run — accounting, BI, or your own dashboards.
Your data, locked down.
Built on a modern, secure backend with role-based access so people see exactly what they should — and nothing they shouldn’t.
The Early Bird is an all-in-one jobsite app for construction crews. It combines time tracking and payroll, AI-powered photo documentation and hazard detection, project and crew management, scheduling, daily logs, and punch lists in a single app that works offline in the field.
It’s built for small and mid-size construction businesses — general contractors, remodeling crews, roofing and siding teams, and handyman businesses — that want to replace spreadsheets, paper time cards, and group texts with one tool.
Yes. The Early Bird is offline-first. Crews can clock in, capture photos, and log work with no signal, and everything syncs automatically once a connection returns, so no data is lost.
Every photo taken on a jobsite is automatically analyzed. The Early Bird tags potential safety hazards — like fall risks, exposed rebar, or open excavations — and captions the work shown, turning your photos into a searchable, safety-aware record.
The Early Bird has native apps for iOS and Android for field crews, plus a full web app for the office. One account keeps everything in sync across every device.
The Early Bird is free to start, with no credit card required. Create an account and invite your crew to begin tracking jobs, hours, and photos right away.
