TradesMen Chat

TradesMen Chat — fast visual sharing for crews, jobsites, and tradespeople.

A visual, camera-first social communication app designed for quick sharing and jobsite updates.

What TradesMen Chat is

TradesMen Chat is a visual, camera-first social communication app built for the trades. It is designed for quick visual sharing, stories, camera-based updates, map-style discovery, media uploads, and location-aware experiences. Chat ships with native iOS and Android apps and a PHP 8.4 backend, admin, and marketing site. It is designed to be the fastest way for a tradesperson to send a snap from the field, drop a story from a jobsite, or share a quick visual update with their crew or community.
