Idle Ideas apps
Business apps
Six apps for businesses that run from a phone rather than an office. Each one keeps the bookings, the run sheets, the quotes, the invoices or the records for one kind of trade, with no per-user fees, no monthly platform bill, and your customers' details kept on your own device.

Dusty Ledger
For small-medium Australian mixed livestock and cropping farms
Your farm notebook, minus the mud stains. Speak an entry in and it's filed.
- Animals tracked by paddock and species
- Crops and spray events, with withholding countdowns
- Machinery service, rego and insurance dates before they lapse
Works with no signal. Doesn't replace your state's actual regulations.
Price to come.
Dusty Ledger is still being built, so its page shows what is planned rather than what is finished.
The other groups
Three free apps sit on the home page; the rest are grouped by what you do.
-
Home and family apps
For the household: the pets' health, the kids' week, Nan's medicines, the shed full of boxes, the bags you pack every time, and what the pool needs.
Mixed Paws, Adds Up, DaySheet, Doovalacky, Repack and Pool Chem Dip.

Work and shifts apps
For people paid by the roster or the hour: your swing worked out a year ahead, and the shift tracked right up to knock-off.
Boots Off and Tools Down.

Travel and going out apps
For time away and nights out: what your savings buy on the ground, which cellar-door wines you liked, and what's on tonight in Singleton.
Ground Value and Singleton Tonight. One more is still being built.

Art and hobbies apps
For painting, drawing and making things: a drawing grid and composition lines sized to your real canvas, so the picture lands where you planned it.
