Photographer Booking, Deposit and Delivery Deadline Tracker

Photographer Booking, Deposit and Delivery Deadline Tracker is an offline app (one HTML file in a zip) for a working photographer. You list your packages with their price and the days you promise for delivery. Each enquiry becomes a booking that moves across a board: Enquiry, Quoted, Booked, Shot, Editing, Delivered. The app works out the deposit, tracks every payment, adds delivery items such as the online gallery and the album with a deadline each, and warns when a deposit is missing or a delivery is late.

The problem it removes: Deposits, dates and delivery promises are scattered across chat messages. A date is promised twice, a deposit is never chased, the gallery is two weeks late and nobody remembers what was promised in the package. This app keeps one record per shoot, with the money, the date and the deliverables together, and shows what needs attention today.

What is inside:

• Packages with price, hours, the number of photos promised and the days promised for delivery
• A board of bookings by stage and a calendar of shoots, with a rule that stops two confirmed shoots on the same date
• Price with an optional price for one booking, extras and discount, a deposit worked out from Settings and a balance from the payments
• Payments with kind, method and a printable receipt
• Delivery items for each booking (gallery, edited photos, album, prints) with a deadline from the package and a count of days late
• Today page with deposits missing, balances unpaid, deliveries late or due soon and WhatsApp links to the client, plus a printable booking confirmation
• Example data you can load in one click, a Start here guide and an Honest limits panel
• JSON backup and restore, CSV export, and CSV import with a check of every row before anything is added

Who it is for: wedding, portrait, family, newborn and event photographers who work alone or with a small team and take bookings by phone and chat.

What it is NOT: It does not hold photos or galleries, edit images or sell prints online. It does not decide your deposit, refund or copyright terms: you set the deposit percentage and write your own terms. It does not send messages or take payments. It is not legal, tax or accounting advice, it is not connected to any government system, bank or messaging service, and it does not file or send anything by itself. UAE e-invoicing is not part of it.

Verified by us: scripted tests in Chromium (168 checks through the real screens: adding, editing and deleting records in every table, required-field messages, backup then clear then restore, CSV export then import, keyboard order, print layouts rendered to PDF, no horizontal scrolling at 375 and 1280 pixels, no network requests) and an independent recalculation by a separately written Python evaluator of 1160 calculated values (25 randomised rows plus the example data) with 0 mismatches. Safari engine (WebKit): smoke test passed; Firefox: could not be launched. Not tested: Firefox beyond what is stated here, and no real printer was used (print layouts were checked as PDF).
