An active quote is any quote that is not archived and belongs to a client that is not archived. All open quote stages—from Draft through Paid—count toward your plan limit.

Once you reach your limit, you can continue editing existing active quotes, but you cannot create new quotes or restore archived quotes until you reduce your active quote count or upgrade your plan. An active client is any client or lead profile that is not archived.

Full quotes, scheduling, Today hub, Item Catalog (up to 15 saved items), PDF handoff, and portable backups—no cloud login required.

N78-Ops is almost here on Google Play (Android 10+ phones and tablets). This page will link to the store when the listing goes live.
Three plans inside one N78-Ops app—not separate downloads. Basic (free forever) gives generous limits for a free plan (up to 25 clients and 20 active quotes) and the full core workflow—ideal for businesses just starting out and smaller operations running real work without a subscription. Item Catalog: up to 15 saved items on Basic; unlimited on Pro and Premier. Pro (US list $79.95/year) is an annual subscription with higher caps (75 clients, 60 active quotes), Finance (expenses, manual GPS mileage + typed miles, tax reporting), unlimited Item Catalog, Save for accountant (ZIP), and QuickBooks export (on by default on Pro and Premier; turn off in Settings).

Yes. Basic (free forever) is not a demo or trial—it is a complete day-to-day toolkit for solo operators. Generous limits (up to 25 clients and 20 active quotes) cover most new and smaller businesses: real quotes, clients, calendar-aware scheduling, Item Catalog (up to 15 saved items), PDF handoff, and portable backups on your device. You keep the same offline-first engine as paid tiers; Pro and Premier add higher caps and extras like Finance, mileage, Insights, and payment milestones when you need them—not because Basic stops being useful.
An active client is any client or lead profile that is not archived. Archiving a client removes that profile and its quotes from active counts. For more information, see in-app Help → Plan limits: active quotes & clients.
Item Catalog: up to 15 saved items on Basic; unlimited on Pro and Premier. Saved catalog items speed up quote line entry. Upgrade to Pro or Premier when you need more than 15 items.
An active quote is any quote that is not archived and belongs to a client that is not archived. All open quote stages—from Draft through Paid—count toward your plan limit. Archived quotes and quotes belonging to archived clients do not count toward your plan limit. Once you reach your limit, you can continue editing existing active quotes, but you cannot create new quotes or restore archived quotes until you reduce your active quote count or upgrade your plan. For more information, see in-app Help → Plan limits: active quotes & clients.
No. Day-to-day work—clients, quotes, schedules, jobs, and invoices—runs on your phone without signing into a Nivo78 cloud. Optional Google sign-in and Drive backup are Premier extras when you want them.
Yes. You can create and edit clients, quotes, schedules, and jobs without internet. Invoices and PDFs are built on the device. When you tap Email or Text, N78-Ops opens your mail or messaging app and you tap Send—nothing goes out automatically when signal returns. You can share or print a PDF anytime, including offline.
Jobs save in N78-Ops first. On **Schedule**, **Best fit** auto-suggests the first open workday and open windows inside your hours (90-day horizon). **Next available slot** cycles other suggestions. **Tap any workday on the calendar** during booking to override—switches to **Exact time** on that date (stays there until you use **Next available slot** again). Slot badges show OPEN, TIGHT, or CONFLICT—CONFLICT overlaps need your confirmation before Accept this slot; TIGHT warns when trip or buffer is tight but you can still save. With permission, the app reads device-calendar busy time (including multi-day blocks on each day they span). **Add schedules to device calendar** (Settings → Scheduling, off by default) may offer **Add to calendar?** after you save—nothing is written silently.
Basic has **no mileage** logging. On Pro and Premier, **type miles manually** or use **battery-friendly GPS** you start and stop (**Mileage OFF/ON** on the dashboard). While GPS runs, the **system status bar is red on every screen**; a **stopped timeout** (default 10 minutes) auto-stops tracking if the vehicle stays stationary so you do not drain the battery if you forget to turn GPS off. The tracker distinguishes **driving from walking**. On Premier, **automatic mileage** adds paired work-vehicle Bluetooth plus **Schedule** and date/time—GPS starts **only for work-related drives** when the vehicle connects (personal trips skip GPS to save battery); manual typed miles and manual GPS **stay available**. Equipment and other costs stay in your accounting software. In-app Help → **Mileage tracking by plan**.
Yes—when subscriptions go live on Google Play. v1 ships with Basic fully usable; Pro and Premier appear as Coming soon until billing is enabled in a Play update.
Yes. Full portable backups use verified Bkp_*.zip (password-protected) or Bkp_*.json (plain) files in the locked documents/N78-Ops folder. Client spreadsheet CSV cannot restore the app—use a full backup for device recovery. On Pro and Premier, Save for accountant (ZIP) includes spreadsheet and HTML quote files; QuickBooks export adds desktop import files when enabled in Settings (on by default on those tiers).
Your business data lives on the device, so uninstalling removes the local database. Before you move phones, make a full verified backup from Settings or the dashboard Backup card, and keep the file somewhere you control (or use optional scheduled Google Drive backup on Premier when you enable it). On the new device, install N78-Ops from Google Play, import that backup, and restore using the same master password. If restore fails, the app rolls back automatically.
Android phones and tablets are supported now (Android 10+) via Google Play. A shared core is designed so iPhone and iPad can follow the same business rules later; check this site for updates.
Not by default. Clients, quotes, schedules, and invoices stay in private app storage on your device—Nivo78 Mobile Apps, LLC does not receive your business database and there is no background upload. Data can leave only when you choose: send email or text (your mail or messaging app carries the content), turn on Hosted quote and invoice links in email under Settings → Quote & invoice options and send while online (off by default), share or export files, enable optional scheduled Google Drive backup on Premier, upgrade through Google Play Billing, or send feedback mail you compose.

You can also text a plain summary or share a PDF from the quote editor—content leaves only when you send from your messaging or mail app.
Yes. On **Schedule**, when you book a visit, use **Repeat** for weekly, every-two-weeks, or monthly presets—or open **More repeat options** for patterns like every other Monday or the 2nd Tuesday of each month.
