Horizon Workbench

An all-in-one contractor and field-service operations platform for managing customers, jobs, estimates, invoices, schedules, teams, materials, and day-to-day field work.

Active DevelopmentExpo SDK 55Release Candidate ValidationMobile + Backend

Last updated: October 6, 2026. Horizon Workbench remains the next release lane behind RiderRadar. Its SDK 55 connected-beta branch is green, the hosted API/database and platform-admin console are live, and Founders entitlement plus active-seat enforcement are implemented. The approved paid Founders policy is $9.99/month for up to five active users including the owner while continuously subscribed. Final store distribution setup and packaged-device acceptance remain open.

Current Focus

  • Keep the SDK 55 connected-beta release branch green and synchronized with required production fixes.
  • Finish subscription/access hardening and administrator account controls without expanding scope.
  • Complete store configuration and packaged-device acceptance for the connected beta.
  • Hold the release-candidate PR until the packaged-release gate is satisfied.

Working Product Foundation

  • Authentication and account flows.
  • Owner, manager, and technician role-aware experiences.
  • Customer and property management.
  • Jobs, scheduling, estimates, invoices, notes, photos, and time-tracking foundations.
  • Team management, materials, company settings, and operational reporting foundations.

Architecture in Place

  • React Native / Expo mobile application on the completed SDK 55 baseline.
  • Node.js and Express backend with PostgreSQL.
  • Role and tenant-aware backend authorization.
  • Connected API-backed field workflows; broad offline synchronization remains deferred.
  • Push notification, transactional email, and platform administration foundations; SMS and in-app checkout remain deferred.

Current Roadmap

Current

Access hardening and connected-beta acceptance

The release branch is green after subscription-status and supported-plan hardening. Platform administration and Founders entitlement controls are live; final store configuration, a packaged build, and real-device acceptance remain before release.

Next

Validate the packaged beta end to end

Exercise mobile builds, backend connectivity, authentication, database behavior, and the highest-value field workflows together on the store-distributed candidate from the validated release line.

Deferred

Harden offline and synchronization behavior

Broad offline and hybrid synchronization are deferred beyond the current connected beta. The current release requires connectivity for its API-backed workflows.

Recent Progress

October 5, 2026

Subscription and seat enforcement hardened

Backend access now requires explicit supported plan and subscription state, and admin activation/deactivation paths were verified against the active-seat cap with audit behavior preserved.

Founders policy finalized

Paid Founders is approved at $9.99 per month for five total active users including the owner, with the rate retained only while continuously subscribed. Complimentary lifetime grants remain separate.

Context-aware job and estimate creation

Recent updates preserve the selected client when moving into new job and estimate workflows, reducing repeated data selection and making related-record creation more natural.

September 15, 2026

Field job and invoice workspaces redesigned

The active branch received focused redesign work for the field job workspace and invoice detail experience as part of the current usability push.

September 2026

SDK 55 and tester-readiness work advanced

Development has continued across the Expo SDK 55 upgrade, tester-readiness, field-preparation, and connected-beta branches rather than remaining at the earlier July checkpoint.

Earlier Foundation

Security and deployment groundwork

The existing product already includes role-aware security, environment switching, backend deployment work, and the major contractor workflow surfaces.
