For every trade on CIS

The App Built for UK Subcontractors

Groundworkers, chippies, sparkies, brickies, plasterers, roofers and every other trade on the Construction Industry Scheme. DayGraft turns ten seconds at the end of the day into proof of what you did, what you're owed, and what you've been paid.

What it does

Everything a CIS subbie needs, in one app

Two ways to track, one app

Full Tracking covers contractors, sites, evidence photos and statements. Simple Hours is a plain start and finish time grid for when you're paid by the hour and nobody needs a statement. Switch any time; nothing is lost.

Statements contractors take seriously

One tap builds a clear weekly statement with labour, materials and your CIS deduction, professional enough to get taken seriously, and paid.

Catches short payments

Log what actually lands in the bank against each week. Short payments are flagged, and unpaid weeks stay visible until they're settled.

Knows where you stand with tax

Running tax-year totals, quarterly figures ready for Making Tax Digital, a year-pace projection against the higher-rate threshold, and (with Pro) an estimate of what you could get back in CIS.

In your language

The whole app, including the built-in guide, works in English, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Lithuanian and Latvian. Your records stay the same whichever language you pick.

Your records, safe and yours

Works fully offline on site. Optional cloud backup with Apple or Google sign-in keeps your records and photos safe if your phone is lost. Export any tax year as CSV at any time.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What makes DayGraft different from a general time-tracking app?

General time trackers don't know what CIS is. DayGraft works out your CIS deduction on labour only, builds statements the way UK contractors expect, checks payments against what you're owed, and estimates your CIS refund.

Do I need to be VAT-registered or a limited company to use it?

No. DayGraft is built for self-employed sole traders on CIS, VAT-registered or not. If you are VAT-registered, it handles standard VAT and the domestic reverse charge per contractor.

Is DayGraft free?

Yes, to start. Logging days and expenses, attaching evidence, one contractor (or one job in Simple Hours), and 90 days of cloud photo backup are free. DayGraft Pro (£4.99 a month or £29.99 a year) adds unlimited contractors, weekly statements, payment checking, the CIS refund estimate and permanent photo backup, with a 7-day free trial.

Which trades is DayGraft built for?

Any trade working under CIS: groundworkers, chippies, sparkies, brickies, plasterers, roofers, plumbers, scaffolders, dryliners, steel fixers, painters and decorators, tilers, plant operators and labourers.

Does DayGraft work in Polish, Romanian or other languages?

Yes. DayGraft works in English, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Lithuanian and Latvian. Change it in Settings → Language and the whole app switches, including the user guide.

Does DayGraft send anything to HMRC?

No. DayGraft keeps your records and prepares figures for you or your accountant, but it doesn't submit anything to HMRC. It isn't yet HMRC-recognised Making Tax Digital software.

What devices does it work on?

iPhone and iPad, and Android phones and tablets. Sign in and your records sync across all of them.
