HitchWell is a money tracker built for oilfield day-rate contractors. Log a day in two taps and keep a running picture of what you earned, what the client owes you back, and what to hold for taxes.
A day takes two taps. The date range tool logs an entire hitch at once, and travel and standby days carry their own rates.
M&IE rates for hundreds of localities are on the phone. The 75 percent rule is one tap on travel days, and lodging can ride along when you book your own room.
Expenses split into reimbursable and out of pocket. Photograph the receipt at the counter and it attaches itself to the right client.
A monthly report grouped by client with receipts embedded, and numbered invoices with your business details — split by project when one client runs several jobs. Cutoff follows the calendar month or the last Sunday.
Everything lives on your phone. No account, no sign-in, and it works with no connection — on a pipelay vessel or a pad in the Permian. Back up to a file whenever you want.
Track days, per diem, and expenses at no cost. A one-time purchase unlocks PDF reports and invoices. Nothing renews.
Generic expense apps don't understand rotation work. They want categories and budgets; you need to know what twelve on days at your rate come to, which travel days get the 75 percent M&IE treatment, and what the client still owes you back for the room and the mileage.
HitchWell starts from the hitch, not the calendar month. Set your rotation and it lays out the year — when you're on, when you're off, how long until crew change. Rates are per-client, per diem follows the GSA tables for the locality you're actually in, and every expense is tagged reimbursable or out of pocket the moment you log it.
When the billing period closes, the paperwork builds itself: a monthly report grouped by client with the receipts embedded, or a numbered invoice with your business details on it. Your data never leaves the phone — there is no account and no server, which is also why the whole app works with zero signal.
HitchWell is designed and built by Simon Shih, who also makes Billowe, Paint the Town, DeckIQ, and a pair of certification study apps.
