Product design, beyond the browser.
Sidework — a concept scheduling app for small service teams. Onboarding, a Today dashboard, job detail, a week schedule and settings, all on one component system.
A calm product for a loud job.
Designed
Five screens that cover a service business’s day: onboarding, a Today dashboard, a job detail with checklist and photos, a week schedule, and settings.
Intended to
Give an owner the day at a glance — what’s next, who’s on it, what’s unassigned — and give a crew everything a job needs on site, without a second app.
Considerations
White cards on a soft gray canvas, a five-tab structure, one accent reserved for the primary action, and rows, chips and tiles shared across every screen so the product feels like one thing.
Primary workflow
The job carries everything.
A crew on site shouldn’t need to call the office. The job screen holds the time window, who’s assigned, a map, the checklist for the day and a place for photos — then exactly two actions: message, or complete.
Status is a chip, not a color wash. Done items strike through instead of disappearing.
Data, lightly
A week you can read at a glance.
The schedule is the one screen with real density, so it borrows the calendar patterns people already know: a week strip, an hour rail, and blocks tinted by crew. No charts, no legends to decode — the crew filter is the legend.
Component system. Buttons, job rows, status chips and stat tiles — the same four pieces reused on every screen.
Consistency
One row style for jobs, one chip style for status, one tile style for numbers. Learn it once.
Hierarchy
Greeting, counts, then the list. The screen answers “what’s next” before anything else.
One accent
Orange is reserved for the primary action and anything unassigned. Everything else stays neutral.
Native patterns
Tab bar, grouped settings, toggles, back chevrons — borrowed from the platform, not reinvented.
Restrained motion
Transitions are functional: a sheet slides, a check fills. Nothing bounces.
Honest data
Every number in these screens is placeholder UI content — a concept, not a product with users.
Design details
Soft gray, white cards, one orange.

Crew tints (peach, sky, mint) exist only on the schedule, and only as backgrounds.
Flow. From first launch to a working day to the settings that keep it quiet.
About this project. Sidework is not a real product, and this is not client work. It is a self-initiated concept built by Snyder Creative Studio to show app and product design beyond marketing websites. Every name, number and person in the screens is placeholder content; there are no users, downloads or results to report.
