For small businesses
The everyday tools a spreadsheet was never quite right for.
Staff roster
Build me a staff roster app on Croft. Let me add my team members, then create a weekly schedule of shifts with a day, start and end time, and role. Show the week in a grid, let me mark shifts as confirmed or open, give each person a view of just their own shifts, and keep a running total of hours per person for the week.
Stocktake & inventory
Build me a stocktake app for my workshop on Croft. Let me add products with a name, SKU, category, quantity on hand, and reorder level. I want to search and filter the list, adjust quantities up or down with a note, and highlight anything below its reorder level. Show a simple dashboard of total items and how many are low on stock.
Quote calculator
Build me a quote calculator for my trade business on Croft. Let me pick services from a list (each with a base rate), add materials with quantities and prices, apply a margin percentage, and add tax. Produce a clean, printable quote total I can send a customer, and save each quote against a customer name and date so I can find it later.
Job & work-order tracker
Build me a job tracker for my two-van business on Croft. Each job has a customer, address, description, assigned person, scheduled date, and a status (booked, in progress, done, invoiced). Let me see today's jobs, filter by person or status, and add notes and photos to a job as it progresses.
Simple CRM
Build me a simple CRM for my regulars on Croft. Let me store customers with their contact details, notes, and a history of jobs or orders. Let me tag customers, search them, and see who I haven't heard from in a while so I can follow up.
Booking sheet
Build me an appointment booking sheet on Croft. Let me set my available days and time slots, then book customers into slots with their name, contact, and the service. Show the day and week at a glance, stop double-bookings, and let me mark a booking as confirmed, arrived, or a no-show.
Timesheets
Build me a timesheet app my team fills in on their phones on Croft. Let each person clock in and out against a job or task, add a note, and see their hours for the day and week. Give me a manager view that totals hours per person and per job, and lets me export a week.
Daily takings log
Build me a daily takings log for my café on Croft. At close, let me record cash, card, and other takings, plus a note. Show a running total for the week and month, a simple chart of daily takings, and let me compare this week to last.
For growing companies
The internal tools a bigger team usually rents by the seat - commissions, reviews, approvals - built once and owned, not rented.
Sales commission tracker
Build me a sales commission tracker on Croft. Let me set each rep's plan (a base rate, tiers, and an accelerator past quota), record closed deals with an amount, date, and rep, and calculate commission per deal and per rep per month. Give each rep a private view of just their own deals, quota attainment, and expected payout, and give me a manager view of the whole team's totals and what's owed this period.
Employee performance reviews
Build me a performance review app for review cycles on Croft. Let me open a cycle and, for each employee, collect a self-review, their manager's review, and optional peer feedback against a set of questions and a rating scale. Keep each review private to that employee and their manager, show me which reviews are still outstanding, and produce a short summary per person once the cycle closes.
Anonymous disclosure form
Build me an anonymous disclosure form on Croft. Publish a public page anyone at the company can open with no login to raise a concern - a category, a description, and an optional attachment - with no name or account required and nothing that identifies the sender. Keep every submission on the private side for a small compliance group only, let them add case notes and a status (new, reviewing, resolved), and give each report a reference code the reporter can use to check back anonymously.
Time-off & leave requests
Build me a time-off request app on Croft. Let staff request leave with a type (holiday, sick, other), dates, and a note; route each request to their manager to approve or decline; and track everyone's remaining balance. Show a team calendar of who's off when, let each person see their own history, and give managers a list of what's pending.
Expense reimbursement
Build me an expense reimbursement app on Croft. Let staff submit an expense with an amount, category, date, note, and a receipt photo; route it to a manager to approve or reject with a comment; and track what's approved, paid, or outstanding. Give finance a view that totals approved expenses by person and by month and lets me mark a batch as paid.
Hiring pipeline
Build me a lightweight hiring tracker on Croft. Let me post roles, add candidates with their details and CV, and move each one through stages (applied, screen, interview, offer, hired, rejected) on a pipeline board. Let me leave interview notes and a rating on a candidate, keep each role visible only to the people hiring for it, and show how many candidates sit in each stage.
Employee onboarding
Build me an employee onboarding tracker on Croft. Let me define a checklist template (IT setup, accounts, paperwork, first-week training) with an owner for each task, then start a checklist for each new hire with a start date. Show each new hire's progress and anything overdue, let task owners tick off their items, and give me a view of everyone currently onboarding.
Asset & equipment register
Build me a company asset register on Croft. Let me record equipment - laptops, phones, monitors - with a serial number, purchase date, value, and who it's assigned to. Let me check an item out to a person and back in, keep a history of who had what, and flag items due for return or replacement. Show a dashboard of what's assigned, spare, or in for repair.
Team goals & OKRs
Build me an OKR tracker on Croft. Let each team set objectives for the quarter, each with a few measurable key results (a start value, target, and current value), and update progress weekly. Roll the key results up into a percentage per objective and per team, show a dashboard of where everything stands, and give leadership a read-only overview.
Anonymous pulse survey
Build me an anonymous employee pulse survey on Croft. Let me send a short set of rating and comment questions on a schedule, collect responses with no way to identify who answered, and show the results as averages and trends over time, including an eNPS score. Keep the raw responses anonymous, only ever show aggregated results, and let me compare this round to the last.
For freelancers & the self-employed
The back office you keep meaning to sort out.
Invoice tracker
Build me an invoice tracker on Croft. Let me record invoices with a client, invoice number, amount, date sent, and due date, and mark each as draft, sent, paid, or overdue. Show totals for outstanding and paid this month, and automatically flag anything past its due date.
Client pipeline
Build me a client pipeline to track work from lead to paid on Croft. Each deal has a client, description, value, and stage (lead, quoted, won, in progress, invoiced, paid). Show it as a board I can drag cards across, with a total value per stage, and a note history on each deal.
Time tracker per client
Build me a time tracker for my client work on Croft. Let me start and stop a timer against a client and task, or add time manually, and jot a note. Show hours by client and by day, this week's total, and let me mark entries as billed so I know what's left to invoice.
Client portal
Build me a simple client portal I can share with the people I work with on Croft. Each client should see only their own projects, files, and a status update from me, and be able to leave a comment or approve a deliverable. Keep everything else private to me.

Financial models & spreadsheets
The spreadsheets you rebuild every year - turned into apps that just work.
Cash-flow forecast

Calculate the running monthly and closing balance, show a chart of the balance over time, and let me tweak any figure and watch the forecast update. It's replacing a spreadsheet, so make editing quick.

Each weekday at 7am, collect the day's bookings and any new form submissions from my other apps, using my own OpenAI account (I'll add the key in settings) to summarise them into a short plain-English brief, and email it to me. Keep the last month of briefings on a page behind my login.
