Why contado exists
Millions of people clean, mow and cut for a living and get paid through apps and cash. Almost none of them have books. Not because they don't care — because every tool assumes a desk, a bank feed and an hour. They have a phone, a driveway and ten seconds.
contado turns the screenshots you already take into real books — and stops there. No bank login, no invoicing, no ads.
What we hold to
- Every flow survives ten seconds, one hand, in a driveway.
- Your books, your data, nobody else's.
- Every log saved instantly, forever, free.
- One payment, one sale. Nothing is ever counted twice.
- Three languages, one price: none. We never charge for language.
What contado is not
- Not an invoicing app — it tracks who owes you and clears it when the payment shows up.
- Not a bank connection — you upload your own screenshots, and screenshots will always be the default. There is no bank login in contado today.
- Not a tax filer — it gets you ready: categories, mileage, proof of income, a CSV your preparer opens.
- Not a scheduler, not ads, not selling your data.
How it's built
One web app that works on any phone, in English, Spanish and Portuguese. Money is stored to the cent, never as a float. Your rows are fenced to your account at the database, by row-level security. Every row is exportable any time, and your whole account is deletable, always.
