Tools Down

What needs sorting?

What can you do?
The first chat on a new account.

01Getting in

No password. Nothing to set up.

Continue with Apple, with Google, or with a six-digit code sent to your email. Then it asks your permission to use AI to do the work. Then your name and your business, and you’re in.

The AI for tradespeople

By continuing, you agree to Tools Down’s terms of service and acknowledge its privacy policy.

Continue with AppleContinue with GoogleContinue with email
The sign-in screen. The code by email is six digits and lasts ten minutes.

02Type or talk

Hands full? Hold the mic.

Hold the mic and say it the way you’d say it to a mate, then stop and check the words, or finish and send. It counts as one message, just like typing.

You: Add repointing the chimney, £280, to the Davies job.

Tools Down: Added. £280 for repointing the chimney, on the Davies re-roof.

Said on the scaffold. A fictional customer.

03No signal

No signal on site? Keep going.

The chat needs a connection to answer. Without one, what you send, photos and all, waits on your phone and goes when the signal comes back. Gas safety records work with no signal at all: issued on the phone.

You: Loft at 14 Park Road. Boiler’s in the airing cupboard.

Waiting to send

Kept on the phone until there’s signal, then sent.

Your phone

What it asks for, and when.

Nothing at first. Each one is asked when it’s first needed, and you can say no and carry on.

Camera

The first time you take a photo in a chat, or of a boiler’s data plate.

“Take photos of your work for Tools Down.”

Microphone

The first time you hold the mic to talk instead of typing.

“Allow Tools Down to use your microphone to turn speech into text.”

Notifications

Once, after your first quote or invoice goes out: “Get told when money moves?”

“You’ll hear when it’s opened, when it’s paid and when it goes overdue.”

Location

The first time you tap Use my location on a “near me” question. Once you allow it, your town and postcode area go with your messages until you turn it off in your phone’s settings. It’s approximate unless you change it, and only your town and postcode area are used. Tools Down keeps no copy of them, but a “near me” web search sends them to Exa, which may.

“Tools Down uses your town and postcode area for ‘near me’ answers, like the nearest merchant.”

Saving to your photos

The first time you save a work photo from Tools Down to your own library.

“Save a work photo from Tools Down to your own photo library.”

Price and the free plan

Made for one. Priced for one.

£29.99 a month including VAT, or £24.99 if you reclaim VAT. One person, no minimum, no setup fee, no training.

  • Your first month is free, with no card.
  • After that you’re on the Free plan: 50 messages a month to Tools Down, and every screen keeps working.
  • Tools Down Pro is paid monthly through Apple. It lifts the message limit.
  • Fair use applies on every plan, with limits set far above what one person books or asks for in a month.
