Detailed information

Hours & Costs

Smart suggestions for your next action

Handyman now makes it easier to continue working after registering hours or costs. Based on your previous actions, the app suggests relevant next steps, such as adding materials, completing service tasks, taking photos, filling out checklists, or finishing the order.

These smart suggestions adapt to your usual workflow over time, helping you move between related activities with fewer taps. This makes daily registrations faster and reduces the need to navigate through different screens.

Warnings for overlapping time registrations

Handyman now warns you when a new time registration overlaps with an existing registration. You can press the smart button on the right to automatically adjust the registration to not overlap.

This helps prevent accidental double registration of working hours and makes it easier to identify mistakes before saving them. The result is more accurate time reporting and fewer corrections afterwards.

Remembering the last selected date

When registering hours or costs, Handyman now remembers your last selected date across all orders, rather than only within the same order.

This is particularly useful when registering work on several orders for the same day or when catching up on registrations from previous days. You no longer need to repeatedly select the same date when switching between orders.

Partial transfer of hours and costs

When transferring registered hours or costs from one order to another, you can now specify how much of the registration should be moved.

Previously, the entire registration had to be transferred. This improvement makes it easier to distribute work or expenses across multiple orders and correct registrations without having to recreate them.

Improved Hours Summary report for an order

The Hours Summary report for an order now allows you to switch between "This order" and "All orders" with a single tap.

This makes it easier to review hours for a specific order or get a broader overview of registered work. Handyman remembers your last selection, so the report opens with your preferred view.

Improved date and time selection

The date and time picker has been redesigned to make registrations faster and more intuitive.

Dates are presented in a scrollable list with recognizable labels such as "Today" and "Yesterday", together with the weekday and full date. A separate month and year selector makes it easy to jump to earlier or future dates.

The time selector has also been improved with a clearer separation between hours and minutes.

These changes make it easier to select the correct date and time, particularly when registering multiple entries or working with historical registrations.

Materials

Improved material search

Finding the correct material is now easier with more flexible search options.

You can choose whether to search across all available information or limit the search to article numbers or descriptions.

This is particularly useful when working with large material catalogs or when you know only part of an article number or description. More targeted searches help reduce irrelevant results and make material registration faster.

Correct synchronized material registrations

Material registrations that have already been synchronized with the office can now be corrected directly in Handyman, provided this is allowed by your company's settings.

Corrections are transferred to the office during the next synchronization.

This provides greater flexibility when mistakes are discovered after synchronization, such as an incorrect quantity or material selection. It also reduces the need to handle corrections separately through the office.

Serial numbers and references for installed materials

Serial numbers and references can now be entered when adding, removing, or replacing installed materials.

This makes it easier to document exactly which components have been installed or replaced on equipment.

Better identification of installed materials improves traceability and provides valuable information for future service visits, maintenance history, and warranty handling.

Scan text directly from photos

Handyman now includes a new OCR feature that lets you capture text directly from photos using your device's camera.

The scanner's Text mode can recognize serial numbers and other information from labels and nameplates, reducing the need to enter these values manually.

Handwritten notes can also be captured directly in text fields that use the dictionary editor, making it easier to transfer information from paper notes into Handyman.

This is particularly useful when working with long serial numbers, equipment identification codes, or handwritten information, where manual typing can be time-consuming and prone to errors.

Equipment & Sites

Copy equipment and sites

Registering similar equipment or sites is now easier with the new copy functionality.

You can create new equipment or site records directly from existing ones. Common information is automatically reused, while unique identification fields are left empty for you to complete.

This simplifies the registration of similar items, saves time, and reduces repetitive data entry. Reusing existing information can also help maintain more consistent records.

Improved access to history and documents

The History and Documents buttons now remain at the bottom of the screen, alongside the edit and service tasks buttons.

This provides a more consistent layout and keeps frequently used functions easily accessible while working with an order or equipment.

Photos & Documents

Faster photo registration

Taking photos to document your work now requires fewer steps.

Photos are saved directly to the order using predefined default values, allowing you to continue working without having to enter additional information for every photo.

When more information is needed, you can quickly edit the photo details afterwards.

This is especially useful when taking several photos during an installation, inspection, or service visit, making it faster to capture important documentation while the work is being performed.

If you do not want this behavior, you can choose to always edit before the image is saved by enabling a setting under Settings -> General.

Documents grouped by date

The document grid view now groups documents by date, with clear day headings similar to those used in photo galleries.

This provides a more structured overview and makes browsing and retrieving documents easier, particularly on orders containing many files.

When looking for documentation from a particular visit or workday, the date grouping helps you locate relevant information more quickly.

Map & Navigation

Order status displayed on the map

Map pins now use different colors to indicate order status, providing a clearer overview of orders directly on the map.

New status filters let you choose which orders to display, allowing you to focus on the work most relevant to you.

This makes it easier to distinguish between orders in different states and reduces unnecessary information on the map.

Multiple orders at the same address

Orders sharing the same address are now grouped into a single map pin showing the number of orders at that location.

Tapping the pin's information window displays all orders at the address, making it easy to see the work associated with that location.

This reduces clutter on the map and makes it easier to identify locations where several tasks can potentially be handled during the same visit.

Use your preferred navigation app

When requesting directions to an order, Handyman now uses your device's default navigation application.

This allows you to navigate using your preferred app, providing a more seamless transition from reviewing an order to travelling to the customer.

On iOS, this functionality is currently supported only in EU countries and does not apply to Norway.

Orders

Improved order contact information

The order contact list now displays each contact's role and comment, giving you more information about the people associated with an order.

Both fields are also searchable, making it easier to find the right contact.

This is particularly useful on orders involving several people with different responsibilities, helping you quickly identify whom to contact.

Improved calendar experience

Calendar appointments now display their complete text in a popup header, making it easier to read appointment information without losing important details.

The calendar also remembers the last viewed date, allowing you to continue where you left off instead of navigating back to the same date.

These improvements make it more convenient to review appointments and navigate between different working days.

Support for multiple client accounts

You can now log in to multiple Handyman client accounts and easily switch between them directly from Accounts in the Settings without having to sign out and log in again.

This is particularly useful for users who work across different companies or client environments.

By keeping multiple accounts available, switching between environments becomes faster and more convenient, reducing interruptions to your daily workflow.

Version 3.4.1

3.4.1 - 07.08.2026

Improved barcode scanning

Barcode scanning will now automatically detect multiple barcodes in same image and switch to the new "Aim-mode" so that you can easily pick the correct barcode. You will see a green circle that indicates when the selected barcode will be used. This makes it possible to move between the barcodes in the view to select the one you want.

A new button to switch between scanning modes is always available.
