What’s New at Hearth: Mobile App Launch, QuickBooks Beta & More
A few months ago, one of our longtime Hearth contractors called us out in the best way possible.
He was trying to send a quote from his truck between job sites, but the app froze. The client info didn’t save, the quote disappeared, and his phone started heating up like it was sitting on the dash in August.
That feedback (and plenty more just like it) is what sparked a complete rebuild of the Hearth mobile app. We started from the ground up, focusing on speed, reliability, and real-world use for contractors who live on the go. The result? A faster, smoother, and rock-solid app you can count on, whether you’re in the office, on the ladder, or in the truck between jobs.
And we didn’t stop there. This past month, we also introduced new Spanish marketing flyers to help you reach more homeowners, improved platform performance across the board, and opened the beta for our new QuickBooks integration. Plus, Hearth AI is getting even smarter with new ways to help you follow up faster and stay organized.
Let’s dig into what’s new and what’s coming next.
The Hearth Mobile App Is Here: Take Your Business Anywhere
We heard you loud and clear. The old Hearth app just wasn’t cutting it. Quotes would lag, client info wouldn’t always save, and if you used it too long in the heat, your phone might start feeling like a space heater. That’s not the kind of tool contractors can rely on in the field.
So we went back to square one. The new Hearth mobile app was rebuilt from the ground up to perform where you do best, on the job. It’s faster, more reliable, and made to handle the realities of running a business from your truck, the job site, or wherever the day takes you.
Now you can:
- Send professional quotes in seconds (no waiting to get back to the office)
- Collect payments on the spot and keep cash flow moving
- Track every lead and client conversation without losing data
No more glitches, no more overheating — just a clean, simple experience designed for contractors who don’t sit behind a desk.
Plus, if you’ve ever been on a job site and had to dig through paperwork or wait until you got back to the office to send a quote, this update is for you.
New Spanish Flyers for Homeowners
We know clear communication builds trust and sometimes that starts with speaking your customer’s language. Our new Spanish-language marketing flyers make it easier to explain financing options to Spanish-speaking homeowners.
The flyers walk customers through how personal loans work, what makes Hearth different, and how to get started—all in plain, easy-to-understand Spanish. Whether you’re remodeling a kitchen or upgrading a roof, having the right tools to communicate helps you close more jobs with confidence.
Imagine meeting with a homeowner who feels hesitant because they’re not sure how financing works. You hand them the new flyer, and their eyes light up as they see the loan terms explained clearly in Spanish. That moment of understanding can make all the difference between a “maybe later” and a “let’s move forward today.”
Behind the scenes, our engineering team has been hard at work making Hearth faster and more efficient across the board. These improvements might not be flashy, but they save you valuable time every day.
- Faster Client Search: Finding and adding clients is now lightning-fast, even when you’re juggling multiple jobs.
- Improved Invoice Loading: We’ve eliminated the delay that sometimes occurred when loading invoices, so you can send and manage payments without waiting.
- List Page Speed: Whether you’re viewing your client list or project list, pages now load significantly faster.
- Surcharge Visibility in Reports: We’ve added surcharge visibility to your payment reports so you can clearly see what’s charged versus what’s passed on to your customers—making it easier to reconcile payments at the end of the month.
QuickBooks Beta Is Open—Sync, Simplify, and Save Time
We’ve heard from hundreds of contractors who rely on QuickBooks for accounting. Until now, syncing data between systems often meant double entry, mismatched records, or chasing down transactions at the end of the week. That changes today.
We’re launching a beta program for the new Hearth + QuickBooks integration, built to make your books cleaner, your accountant happier, and your day smoother.
With the new integration, you’ll be able to:
- Reconcile records automatically between both systems
- Sync invoices and payments in real-time
- Set up the connection in minutes—no tech headaches
- Eliminate double entry once and for all
Let’s say you’re running a small remodeling company. You create an invoice in Hearth after completing a kitchen project. With the new integration, that invoice automatically shows up in QuickBooks, perfectly matched to your customer’s payment record. No extra steps, no missed data—just more time to focus on your next job.

Coming Soon: Hearth AI Integration
If you’ve tried the Hearth AI Voice Receptionist, you already know how powerful it can be—answering calls 24/7, booking jobs, and keeping your leads organized while you’re on the job.
Next, we’re bringing that same power directly into your Hearth account. Soon, you’ll be able to view call recordings, transcriptions, and lead details—all from one central place inside the app. No more switching tabs or chasing messages between systems.
This integration is built to help contractors follow up faster, capture every lead, and stay on top of every job without missing a beat.
Picture your phone ringing while you’re finishing up a job. Instead of stopping to answer, Hearth AI takes the call, books the appointment, and adds all the details right to your account. When you get home, you pull up the recording and transcript to prep for tomorrow’s estimate. That’s how you turn AI from a nice-to-have into a business advantage.
Built for Contractors, With Contractors
Every update we make starts with a real story from the field. The contractor who spends late nights chasing invoices. The one losing business because they missed a call. The one juggling too many tools just to stay organized.
We built Hearth to solve those problems—and we’re grateful to every contractor who shares feedback that helps us improve.
This month’s updates are another step toward making Hearth the only tool you need to run your business: faster, smarter, and from anywhere.
Stay tuned for more updates coming soon.
