You've got the skills. Now run the side business.
You spent years — and real money — getting good at your trade. SideWRK turns that skill into a real side business you run from your phone: write the estimate, document the work, get the customer's approval, get paid — and finally see your true profit. One app for every trade you run.
What's your trade?
Tap your trade to start — SideWRK speaks its language out of the box. Run more than one? Multi-Trade puts every trade in one login.
See it in action
For the people who build, fix & maintain — on the side
The mechanic wrenching on weekends. The guy who fixes every mower on the block in spring and plows driveways come winter. The electrician moonlighting for neighbors. You put years and real money into your tools and your skill — SideWRK helps you cash in on the side without looking like a hobby.
Your skill, your business
You already know the work. SideWRK handles the part that makes it a business — the quote, the paper trail, and the payment — so you look like a pro from the first text.
Look legit, get paid faster
Branded estimates your customer approves from their phone, with photos that sell the job. A clean invoice beats a number scribbled on a napkin every time.
Know your real profit
Every part carries a private cost only you see — so you know what you actually made on the side, not just what you charged.
Everything you need to run the business — in one app
Estimates → invoices → paid
Write up a job in one sweep — labor, parts or materials (with your private cost), a note, and a photo. Text or email a clean, itemized estimate. When the customer approves, it becomes a numbered invoice. Record cash, Venmo, Zelle, or card; jobs auto-flip to Paid at a zero balance.
Customers approve from their phone
Send a branded approval link. Your customer reviews the estimate, sees the photos, and taps Approve — logged with their name, the time, and the amount. Add work later and they're asked to authorize the new total. That's a real authorization record, not a guess.
One app, every trade
Mechanic, small engine, electrician, plumber, concrete, landscaping, handyman — SideWRK re-skins to speak each trade's language: the right vocabulary, the right asset to log, the right tools. Run more than one? Switch between them in a tap with Multi-Trade.
Priced the way your trade works
Parts and labor, flat-rate jobs, materials with markup, a call-out fee, or square-foot and cubic-yard estimates — every trade gets the line items and calculators that fit the work, all rolling up to one clean total.
Real profit, not just revenue
Every part or material carries a private "your cost" the customer never sees — so the Money tab shows what you're owed, your monthly net, and your true profit on every single job.
Photos & videos that sell the job
Snap the worn part, the corroded line, or the prepped site and text it straight to the customer — proof gets jobs approved faster. The same photos show right on the estimate they approve.
Look legit on every document
Your business name, logo, address, and license/permit number land on every estimate and invoice — plus the job details and a logged record of every customer authorization. The tools to keep a thorough paper trail on every job.
Schedule & follow-ups
See what's overdue, upcoming, and unscheduled at a glance. Log the work a customer passed on and it resurfaces next visit, so you never leave money on the table.
From first text to "paid" in three steps
Write it up
Add the customer and what you're working on, then add the work — labor, parts or materials, a photo, and a note — in one sweep.
Send it
Text or email a branded estimate. The customer reviews the photos and taps Approve — authorization logged automatically.
Get paid
It becomes a numbered invoice. Record the payment, the job flips to Paid, and your real profit lands in the Money tab.

Frequently asked questions
What is SideWRK?
SideWRK is an all-in-one app for blue-collar side work. From your phone you manage customers, build estimates, send branded invoices, take payments, attach photos, and track your real profit on every job — whatever trade you run.
Which trades does SideWRK support?
Mechanic and small-engine / outdoor power are live today, with electrician, plumber, concrete, landscaping, handyman, and heavy equipment on the way. Each trade gets its own vocabulary, the right thing-you're-working-on to log, and the right pricing tools — all on the same estimate → approve → get-paid engine.
Can I run more than one trade?
Yes — that's the whole idea. With the Multi-Trade plan every trade is unlocked and you switch between them in a tap, sharing one customer list. Fix mowers in spring, plow in winter, wrench on cars, do handyman work year-round — one subscription, one app.
Can customers approve estimates from their phone?
Yes. You send a branded link; the customer reviews the estimate and photos and taps Approve. The approval is recorded with their name, the time, and the amount — and if you add work later, they're asked to authorize the new total.
Does it keep a paper trail on every job?
Yes. Your business name, logo, and license/permit number print on every estimate and invoice, alongside itemized labor and materials, the job details, photos, and a logged authorization record for every customer approval. It gives you the tools to document your work thoroughly — it doesn't determine or guarantee compliance with any law or regulation, and isn't legal advice.
How much does SideWRK cost?
Single Trade is $29/month for one trade. Multi-Trade is $49/month for every trade plus the in-app switcher. Pro is $99/month for full-time operators who need higher limits, recurring billing, team logins, and a public profile. SideWRK is a paid app — there's no free tier.
Do I need to install anything?
No. SideWRK runs in any modern phone or laptop browser — just open sidewrk.app and sign in. You can add it to your home screen for one-tap access.
Does it track my real profit?
Yes. Every part or material can carry a private "your cost" that the customer never sees, so the Money tab shows your true profit on each job — not just revenue.
