Free lawn care app
The free app for running a small mowing business
Mowday is a free app for lawn care businesses with one to a few people. It keeps your customers, your repeating mowing schedule, your quotes, your invoices, and who has paid you by Venmo, Zelle, cash, check or card.
It runs in the browser on your phone or computer, and it keeps working when you have no signal. The Free plan is $0 with unlimited customers and no card required.

What Mowday does today
Four screens: Today, Customers, Money and Account. Everything below is in the Free plan.
Today: the day’s stops, in your order
Today list
The day’s stops in order, with the address, the price and your notes. You can change the order by hand.
Done and skipped visits
Tap a stop to mark it done, or skip it. The list shows how many stops are done and how much you have earned that day.
Rain day button
Moves the day’s unfinished stops to tomorrow in one tap. It does not message your customers.
Customers: who, where, how much, how often
Customer list
Name, phone, street address, and notes like the gate code, the dog, or where to park.
Repeating mowing schedule
Set a service, a price per visit, and how often: every week or every 2 weeks.
Quotes: price the job, send a link
Quotes
From a customer’s page, write a quote with one or more lines. Price each line per visit or one time, like Mowing $45 each visit plus Spring cleanup $180 once, and add a note if you want.
Quote link the customer answers
You copy or share the link yourself. The customer opens it with no sign-in and taps “Accept quote” or “No thanks”. Nothing is charged. The answer shows on the quote, the customer’s page and the Money tab, or you can mark it by hand.
Quotes are simple. There is no lot measurement, template, photo, e-signature or deposit, and Mowday does not text or email the quote for you.
Money: what to invoice and who still owes you
Invoices from completed visits
Finished visits show up as ready to invoice. Invoice one customer, or all of them at once.
Invoice link for the homeowner
You copy or share a link. The customer opens it with no app and no login, and sees what they owe and how to pay.
Venmo, Cash App and Zelle on the invoice
Your Venmo and Cash App buttons open with the amount filled in. Your Zelle phone or email is shown to copy.
Payment tracking
Record cash, checks (with the check number), Zelle, Venmo and Cash App. Customers can tap “I’ve paid” and you confirm when the money arrives.
Card payments (optional)
Turn on cards through Stripe. The money goes straight to your Stripe account. Stripe’s standard card fee applies. Mowday adds no fee of its own today.
Works without signal
Your data is saved on the device first. Sign in and it backs up and syncs when you are online.
Web app
Open app.getmowday.com in a phone or computer browser. Sign in with a 6-digit code sent to your email. No password.
Getting paid
How payment tracking works
Most mowing customers do not pay by card. So Mowday starts with the ways they already pay you: Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, cash and checks. Cards are optional.
- Mark the stop done. The visit shows up on the Money tab as ready to invoice.
- Make the invoice. One tap per customer, or “Invoice all”. Each finished visit becomes a line.
- Send the link. Copy the invoice link into your own text or email. Mowday does not send it for you.
- The customer opens it. No app, no login. They see what they owe, your Venmo and Cash App buttons with the amount filled in, and your Zelle phone or email.
- They tap “I’ve paid”. You get asked “Did it arrive?” and confirm when the money is really there.
- Or record it yourself. Cash and checks go in by hand, with the check number if you want it.
Cash and checks count too
The Money tab shows what is ready to invoice, what is waiting to be paid, and the total owed to you.
Cards are optional. If you turn them on, customers also see a “Pay by card” button. Card payments run through Stripe and the money goes straight to your Stripe account. Stripe’s standard card fee applies. Mowday adds no fee of its own today.

Straight talk
What is not here yet
Mowday is new. These things do not exist in the app today, so do not sign up expecting them.
Quote extras: lot measurement, templates, photos, e-signatures, deposits
Not built. Quotes are lines, prices and a note. A saved quote cannot be edited: delete it and write a new one. Putting an accepted quote on the schedule does not change a repeating service the customer already has.
Texting or emailing customers from the app
Mowday does not send messages. You copy the quote or invoice link into your own text or email.
Rain-delay notices to customers
The Rain day button moves stops. It does not tell anyone.
Crew logins and permissions
There is one sign-in per business today.
Route optimization
You set the stop order yourself.
iPhone and Android store apps
Planned. Today Mowday runs in the browser.
QuickBooks sync
Not built.
Fertilizer and chemical tracking
Not built.
Automatic charging of saved cards
Not built. Customers pay each invoice from its link.
Mowday also has no customer reviews or ratings to show yet. If you need those things now, see how Mowday compares with Yardbook, Jobber and LawnPro.
