0.1.0+6

A major workflow and accessibility update focused on appointment reliability, schedule reporting, conversational Voice Assistant, six-language support, and expanded guidance.

Appointments and reporting

  • Added Day, Week, and Month appointment schedule PDFs alongside the existing CSV export.

Closed-test quality update

0.1.0+5

Improves everyday usability, makes scheduling rules easier to understand, and adds safe tools for correcting connected customer, job, and appointment records.

Usability and onboarding

  • Improved the Jobs screen with full-page scrolling so filters, actions, and longer job lists remain easier to reach on smaller devices.
  • Clarified customer-name guidance and validation while keeping support for either a display or company name or a primary contact name.
  • Expanded first-run onboarding into a workflow-based tour covering customers, jobs, appointments, scheduling policies, local records, and backups.

Record correction and cleanup

  • Added tools to reassign a job to the correct customer and to correct an appointment’s customer or linked job without rewriting issued estimate or receipt snapshots.
  • Added duplicate-customer merging that transfers linked records and preserves restrictive outreach and follow-up information.
  • Added guarded permanent deletion for truly empty accidental customer records plus a way to remove an invalid saved-customer link while preserving the job contact snapshot.

Scheduling and reliability

  • Made business-profile duration, time interval, capacity, and Allow, Warn, or Prevent conflict behavior visible from appointment creation.
  • Improved appointment validation by blocking calculated end times until a business profile is selected and moving directly to the first invalid field on save.
  • Expanded automated regression and synthetic diagnostic coverage across major screens and deliberate validation, conflict, and cleanup states.
Appointments and scheduling update

0.1.0+4

Adds local appointment scheduling, business-specific booking rules, appointment exports, and complete backup support.

Appointments

  • Added Day, Week, and Month appointment views with expandable totals for upcoming, completed, cancelled, and no-show appointments.

Scheduling rules

  • Added Allow, Warn before saving, and Prevent saving options for overlapping appointments.

A field-workflow update based on the first real customer job completed during closed testing.

  • Corrected the Estimated → Approved → Active status flow and immediate status refresh.

Payments and receipts

  • Added required payment-method selection when a job is marked Paid.
  • Added cash, card, check, Cash App, Venmo, Zelle, bank transfer, other mobile payment, and other methods.
