How to install & open it
One install, then sign in with your VendorBox vendor account. Pick your system:
- Download the installer (
vendorbox-tracker-setup.exe) and double-click it. - Windows may warn “Windows protected your PC” because the app isn’t code-signed yet — click More info → Run anyway.
- Follow the installer (Next → Install).
- Open VendorBox Tracker from the Start menu or the desktop shortcut.
- Open the downloaded
.dmg, then drag VendorBox Tracker into Applications. - First launch only: right-click the app → Open (or System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway) — needed because it isn’t notarized yet.
- After that, open it normally from Applications or Launchpad.
AppImage — no install
- Make it executable:
chmod +x vendorbox-tracker.AppImage
or right-click → Properties → Permissions → Allow executing as program - Run it:
./vendorbox-tracker.AppImage(or just double-click).
.deb — Debian / Ubuntu
- Install (from the folder it’s in):
sudo apt install ./vendorbox-tracker.deb - Open from your apps menu (VendorBox Tracker) or run
vendorbox-tracker.
From doorbell to payout, in three steps
The tracker is built for VendorBox hourly contracts — you're paid for the hours you actually work, held safely in escrow.
Install & sign in
Download the app and sign in with your vendor account. Your active hourly contracts appear automatically — nothing to configure.
Track as you work
Hit start when you begin, stop when you're done, and jot a quick note about what you did. Sessions are saved even if you lose signal on site.
Hours sync for approval
Your entries appear on the job's timesheet. The client reviews and approves them, and the payment is released to you from escrow.
Small app, honest hours
An accurate record of your time — with optional screenshot proof of work that clients can trust. You choose which screen to share, and you're always in control.
One-click timers
A timer per contract. Switch jobs in one click when you're juggling multiple customers in a day.
Screenshot proof of work
While the timer runs, a screenshot is taken every 10 minutes as proof for the client. Each one counts as 10 billable minutes — and you can delete any screenshot you don't want shared, which removes that time too.
Notes per session
"Replaced both springs, lubricated rails." Notes ride along with your hours so approvals go smoothly.
Escrow-backed
Tracked hours bill against the contract's escrowed estimate — the same protected flow as the rest of VendorBox.
