I built this because I was running my own contracting business and couldn't find anything that wasn't either too complicated, too expensive, or both. I needed something I could open on my phone between jobs. This is that.

Everything you need to know before getting started.

How much does AEDEXBOOKS cost? +

What do I need to get started? +

Just a Google account. The app runs entirely in your browser — no download, no install. On first sign-in it automatically creates a Google Sheet in your Drive to store all your data.

Where does my data get stored? +

Everything — clients, jobs, invoices, expenses — is stored in a single Google Sheet in your own Google Drive. Aedex Anima LLC never sees, stores, or owns your business data. You can open that sheet directly anytime and share it with your accountant or bookkeeper.

Does it work on my phone? +

Yes — mobile is the primary design target. The app is built to be used on a phone between jobs, not at a desk. You can add it to your home screen like a native app (it's a PWA). Works on iPhone and Android.

I already have clients in a spreadsheet. Do I have to start over? +

No. Because your data lives in a real Google Sheet, you can paste existing clients, jobs, or expense records directly into the sheet. The app reads it on every load. There's no migration tool needed — just copy and paste into the right columns.

Can I send invoices directly to clients? +

Yes. The app generates a professional PDF invoice and emails it to your client directly from your Gmail account with one tap. The email comes from you — not from a third-party service — so it lands in their inbox like a normal email.

What happens to my data if I stop using the app? +
