I’ve spent a lot of time around trades and noticed how often calculations get done on the fly. Things like stair measurements, roof pitch, concrete volume, or quick material estimates usually end up being a mix of guessing, the phone calculator, and scribbled notes.

So I built TradeSet.

It’s a simple toolbox app for tradies that puts common construction calculators in one place so you can quickly work things out while you’re on site.

Right now it includes things like: • stair calculators • roof pitch calculations • concrete and measurement calculators • saving commonly used calculations • optional cloud sync

The goal was to keep it straightforward and practical rather than turning it into a complicated project management tool.

It just launched on iOS and I’m continuing to add more calculators and tools based on feedback from people in the industry.

If anyone here works in construction or has built tools for trades before, I’d be interested to hear what tools you think would actually be useful on site.
