About Póca
Póca is a voice-first admin app for sole traders and self-employed people in Ireland. It keeps your receipts, expenses, tax and VAT estimates, invoices, job folders and diary in one place, and you can do most of it just by talking to it.
Who is behind Póca
Póca is an independent app started by Mark, a carpenter who has been self-employed in Ireland for 20 years. It is in beta: the dated changelog lists every update since May 2026.
Mark Prendergast — Kitchen, bedroom and cabinet maker, self-employed in Ireland for 20 years
Built by a carpenter who is the office.
I’m Mark, a carpenter by trade and a founder by experience.
For the last 20 years I’ve worked in the kitchen, bedroom and cabinet making industry in Ireland. I’ve been self‑employed for two decades, pricing jobs, managing clients, and doing the work myself.
That also means I’ve lived with:
- Invoices sent from the van between jobs
- Quotes written late at night after a full day on the tools
- Job details scattered across texts, WhatsApp, email, and notebooks
I built Póca because I know exactly how painful the “office work” is when you are the office.
Póca (from the Irish word for pocket) is the office in your pocket for self‑employed people and tiny teams — especially trades, makers, and creators who don’t have a back office, but still have a real business to run.
We’re building a simple, friendly admin assistant that helps you:
- Keep jobs, notes, and client info in one place
- Stay on top of quotes, invoices, and follow‑ups
- Spend less time on paperwork and more time doing the work that actually pays
I care about:
- Making technology that feels natural to people on the tools, not just people in offices
- Giving self‑employed trades and creators the same leverage larger companies get from admin staff
- Turning “I’ll sort that later” into “Póca already handled it”
