Product updates

Every notable change, newest first. Something here looks different from your app? Update it from the store, or reload the browser.

October 2026

  • NewThe Cowstail app is on the App Store and Google Play. Same account as the browser, with job alerts the moment a job fits you and the IRATA card scanned from the camera.
  • NewA job post for any kind of work: a few days, a contract or a permanent role, with the rate on a wheel, CIS, PAYE or Ltd, tickets by sector and up to three questions for applicants. Companies can edit a live post.
  • NewJobs on the website: every open job has a public page at cowstail.app/jobs, with region and level filters, and the going rate for the area.
  • NewPosition filled: a company marks a job filled with one tap and every applicant hears; a tech who shared a post can close it the same way.
  • NewShare a job from your phone's share sheet straight into Cowstail, or paste a post, with screenshots too. The board reads it into a card.
  • NewReal filters and a word search on the job board: level, region or near me, minimum rate, start, kind of work, CIS or PAYE, fit. A job never hides for a fact it does not state.
  • ImprovedInstant job alerts for every technician a job fits, on by default. The morning email covers what the push did not reach.
  • ImprovedThe board, Invoices and Kit scroll as one, the way Money does, and the title folds into a bar. Tapping the tab again scrolls to the top.
  • TrustReports hide a post after two flags, a new company's first posts wait for a human check, posts that ask for money come down, and the card says honestly whether the company is verified.

September 2026

  • NewAsk Cowstail: type or speak a question in any language and get your own numbers back, or a draft invoice, quote, expense or logbook entry that opens in the normal form.
  • NewOne shared work library behind job posts, logbook splits, services and invoice lines, with insights per kind of work on the Money tab and a price hint when you price a service.
  • NewInvoice lines ask three things: the work, where and when, the rate. Days tapped on a calendar, hours on a slider, and the description writes itself.
  • NewA booking drafts the invoice: the days, the rate, the site, the company's payment terms and PO. The Friday nudge reminds you to send it.
  • NewInvoices to companies: hand an invoice to the company that booked you in the app. They approve it, query a line or mark it paid, and you see where it stands.
  • NewPush notifications on the phone and in the browser: bookings, invoices opened and paid, LOLER and ticket reminders.
  • NewInvoice PDFs, to download or to ride along the email.
  • ImprovedSolar icons across the app, spot illustrations on Home and every empty state, pull to refresh on every list.
  • ImprovedPlain names everywhere: Jobs, Invoices, Money, Kit. A Today front page on the phone, visible tabs, bigger buttons.

August 2026

  • NewThe job board: companies post, technicians see in one line whether they fit, and apply with their wallet. A booking is the company's confirm.
  • NewProjects on the company side: dates, crew seats and rate in one place, with the hire booked at the level they hold.
  • NewCompany accounts with Companies House verification, a team tab and a real laptop layout.
  • NewCIS on invoices, labour only, at 20% or 30%, with the year's total deducted on the Money tab.

July 2026

  • ImprovedCleaner invoice details: the client card and the dates. Expenses are editable and deletable.
  • NewScan an IRATA card, a receipt or a business card: the fields fill themselves in, you confirm, saved.

June 2026

  • NewSelf-service sign-up and the free Solo account.
  • NewKit and LOLER register with reminders before a thorough examination is due.
  • NewTax-ready finances by UK tax year, with CSV export.
  • NewQuotes a client accepts online, then one tap turns them into an invoice.
