Free Painting Contractor Software. Built by Someone Who Gets It.
Clockwork is 100% free painters software. You get scheduling, dispatch, invoicing, online payments, a 24/7 virtual receptionist, a professional website, and customer financing — all for $0/month. Setup takes under 30 minutes. No contracts, no setup fees, no per-user charges. You only pay 3.5% + 30¢ per transaction when you get paid.
Painting estimates are won or lost on accuracy and presentation. You need software that helps you measure, quote, and close , not just schedule appointments.
Sound Familiar?
These are the problems painters business owners tell us about every day.
Estimating square footage, prep work, coats, and materials for a full exterior repaint takes hours of manual math.
You lose jobs to competitors who present more professional-looking proposals, even when your price is better.
Tracking paint colors, sheens, and product preferences per customer is impossible across multiple ongoing projects.
Crew scheduling for multi-day projects across several job sites means constant phone calls and confusion.
Change orders happen mid-project and you eat the cost because nobody documented the original scope clearly.
Here Is How Clockwork Fixes It
Every solution is built into the platform. No add-ons, no upgrades, no extra cost.
Estimate templates calculate square footage, labor hours, and material quantities so quoting takes minutes instead of hours.
Branded proposals with color visualizations and detailed scope give you a professional edge over handwritten bids.
Color and product tracking per room per customer means your crew knows exactly what goes where on every project.
Multi-day project scheduling assigns crews to job sites across the week with clear daily task lists.
Digital scope agreements with customer sign-off protect you when change orders come in mid-project.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Clockwork calculate paint quantities from room measurements?+
Yes. Enter room dimensions, number of coats, and surface type. The system calculates total square footage, gallons of paint, primer, and estimated labor hours.
Can I send branded proposals from my phone?+
Absolutely. Build your proposal on-site with the estimate calculator, attach your branding, and send it to the customer via text or email. They review and approve digitally.
How does color tracking work?+
For each job, you log the paint brand, color name, color code, and sheen per room. This info is stored on the job record so any crew member can pull it up on their phone at the job site.
Can I manage multiple painting projects at once?+
Yes. Each project has its own timeline, crew assignments, and daily task list. You see all active projects on a single calendar view and can shift resources between them.
What does Clockwork cost for painters?+
Nothing per month. Clockwork is free to use with no user limits. We earn a small processing fee when your customers pay through the platform. No contracts, cancel anytime.
What does Clockwork do for painting contractors?+
Clockwork covers every part of a painting business: square footage estimate calculators, branded proposals with color visualizations, color and product tracking per room, multi-day project scheduling, digital scope agreements, invoicing, and Ava as a 24/7 virtual receptionist. Interior repaints and full exterior projects both run through one free platform.
Does Clockwork work for solo painters?+
Yes. Solo painters and small crews are great users. Build estimates on-site from your phone, send branded proposals before you leave the driveway, collect deposits with a tap, and let Ava answer new lead calls while you are rolling a ceiling. With zero per-user fees, a solo painting business gets the full platform free.
What is the difference between Clockwork and paid painting contractor software?+
Paid painting platforms charge $80-$250 per month and usually limit the number of estimates or gate proposal branding behind higher tiers. Clockwork is free with unlimited estimates, full branding, and a virtual receptionist included. Your only cost is the standard 3.5% + 30 cents transaction fee on card payments processed through the platform.
