I spent 40 years on building sites watching good tradies do the wrong job — not because they were careless, but because the instruction wasn't clear.
We describe jobs in words when we should be showing people pictures. Words get forgotten, misheard, and misunderstood. Photos don't.
The hidden cost of miscommunication on every job
If your subbies can open a text, they can use SMPLTSK. It's that simple.
Snap a photo on site. Tap to place numbered red markers exactly where the work is needed. Add a description for each one. Done in under a minute.
Share via SMS. Your subbies get a link — they tap it, they see the job. No app download. No login. No excuses for not knowing what to do.
Markers go green as jobs are completed. You see it happen in real time. When every marker is green, you're off-site on time.
Designed to be used with one hand while holding a tape measure in the other.
Drop a marker exactly where the work is needed. Each number links to a written description. The photo and the instruction are inseparable.
Your team gets a text link. They tap it, they see the job. No app downloads, no account creation, no training required. No excuses.
Watch your tasks flip from red to green as your team works through them. 0% to 100% — simple, satisfying, and impossible to argue with.
Sometimes a line or an arrow says it better than words. The built-in drawing tool lets you mark up exactly what you need directly on the photo.
Set a reminder on any task — for yourself or your recipients. Get notified when something needs following up, even on your busiest days on site.
As a registered builder with 40 years on Australian building sites, I was trapped between scribbling on blocks of wood and complex software that nobody on-site would actually use.
So I built SMPLTSK. The visual Post-it note that communicates the job and tracks whether it's been done. Because when they get it right, you're off-site on time.
"To protect my profits, I needed sausage-in-bread site tech. I was trapped between scribbling on blocks of wood and software no one on-site could actually use, so I built SMPLTSK to stop mistakes eating my profit. My subbies can open a text, so they can use it. No logins, no hurdles — just instant clarity and a fix for site mistakes."
Not just for builders. Anyone who needs to show someone exactly what needs doing.
Three tasks on a bedroom windows job — each marker pinned to exactly the right spot on the photo. No ambiguity, no phone calls to explain it.
The same job — all three tasks ticked off, markers turned green, 100%. You see it happen in real time. That's your cue to move on.
Draw directly on the photo — arrows, outlines, measurements. Combined with numbered markers, nothing is left open to interpretation.
Sometimes showing is better than telling. Exactly what SMPLTSK is all about.
