Print or save a clean PDF invoice with your bank details, ready to hand in.
Made for crew life
Long days, odd hours, patchy signal. Golden Hour is built for it.
Hourly or daily pay
Paid by the day? Set your standard hours and anything over adds overtime automatically.
Late finishes
Shifts that run past midnight are worked out correctly, with your break taken off.
Whole weeks at once
Add a run of festival days in one go, with your usual start and finish times filled in.
Notes on every shift
Stage, team or gate. Notes show under each day on your invoice.
Quick check before payday
Missing rate, bank details or overlapping shifts? You get a checklist before you print.
Past summer gigs
Finish a festival and it's archived on your home screen. Reopen any gig later.
A proper invoice, not a scribble
When the festival's done, tap Get Paid. Golden Hour lays out every shift, your hours, rate and expenses, and adds your payment details at the bottom. Print it, or save it as a PDF and send it to the site manager.
- Shift dates, times, breaks and net hours
- Expenses listed separately on the total
- Your sort code and account number for the transfer
- NI number or UTR if they ask for it
On your phone or laptop
Designed for the phone in your pocket, and just as happy on a computer when it's time to send the invoice.
