Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about FlipBlip gearsets.

Licensing & Activation

How do I get my license key after purchase?

It is emailed to you by Lemon Squeezy when your purchase is confirmed. Check your inbox and save that email — it also contains a View Order link you will need to manage your activations.

How do I activate the app?

Open FlipBlip, enter your license key on the first screen, and tap Unlock. The app activates immediately over the internet.

How many devices can I use with one license key?

Each license key supports up to 3 device activations.

How do I move to a new device or free up an activation slot?

Open the receipt email from your purchase, click View Order, find your license key, and click Deactivate next to the device you no longer use. The slot is freed immediately.

What happens if I lose my license key?

Open the receipt email from your purchase and click View Order to find your key. If you have lost the email contact us through the support form.

Will I get future updates?

Updates are delivered as new installer files via Lemon Squeezy. When an update is available you will receive an email with a download link. There is no automatic updater.

Data & Privacy

Where is my data stored?

All your business data is stored locally on your device only. FlipBlip does not have access to your data and nothing is stored on our servers.

Can I use the app without internet?

Yes. The app works fully offline. An internet connection is only needed for license validation (periodically, with a 30-day grace period if offline), and weather and map features if you use them.

What does Export All Data include?

A complete backup of your database including all clients, jobs, quotes, invoices, recurring clients, visit history, photos, logo, and settings. This is the file to use when setting up a new device.

What is the difference between Export All Data and Export New Changes?

Export All Data is a full backup for setting up a new device. Export New Changes only exports records that have changed since your last backup, for faster ongoing sync between devices.

How do I move my data from Android to Windows or vice versa?

Use Export All Data on the source device, transfer the file to the other device, and use Import / Restore Data. Your data, photos, and settings will all transfer.

Will I lose my data if I uninstall the app?

Yes. Your data is stored locally and uninstalling removes it. Always export a backup before uninstalling.

Features

What are the system requirements?

Windows 10 or newer and Android 12 or newer.

What are the BYOK services and do I have to use them?

BYOK (bring your own keys) services are free third-party tools that power optional features: LocationIQ for maps and routing, and WeatherAPI for job site weather. None are required. You only need to set them up if you want those features. All optional features are OFF by default — enable only what you need in Settings → Optional Features.

What is the Quick Start library?

A pre-built collection of service items and packages specific to your trade. Add items to your personal library in one tap, then use them to build quotes and packages without typing everything from scratch.

How do recurring clients work?

Recurring clients follow a full lifecycle. Create a new recurring client as a draft, send them a quote for your service agreement, convert to active once approved, log visits on their scheduled days, and mark as complete when the job is done. You can also pause a recurring client temporarily. Completed clients move to History → Paid Visits.

How do I send quotes and invoices?

Tap Share Quote or Share Invoice on the job sheet. The app opens your device's share sheet so you can send via Gmail, Messages, WhatsApp, or any other app. You can also attach a branded PDF alongside the text message. Clients approve by replying to your message.

What are appointment types?

Appointment types let you label and color-code your scheduled work. Create types like Estimate, Maintenance, or Deep Clean in Configurations → Appointment Types, pick a color for each, and assign them when scheduling. Your calendar shows colored sections per day so you can see what kind of work fills each day at a glance.

How does margin tracking work?

When you log supply costs on a job, the app compares the supply cost against the job total to calculate your margin. Margin is shown per job and averaged on the dashboard so you can see how profitable your work actually is.
