## What is Augenschein?

In a dispute, a photograph shows a scratch. It does not show how large it was, where
exactly, whether it was this flat, or whether anyone has altered the image since.
That is precisely the gap Augenschein closes.

SEAL, DON'T JUST PHOTOGRAPH

Every shot immediately gets a checksum over the original file. On sealing, all
checksums and all details are gathered into a seal document in a fixed order. Anyone
who later alters an image, a recording or a detail is caught by the verification, file
name and all.

The seal document appears in plain text in the report. Anyone can recompute the
overall checksum with any SHA-256 tool, without owning this app.

EVERY SHOT CARRIES ITS CIRCUMSTANCES

Time, location with accuracy radius, bearing and area. The accuracy radius is always
shown, never hidden: indoors, twenty metres is normal, and an honest imprecision is
more credible than a coordinate that feigns precision. If the location is missing, it
says so. A last known position is never substituted.

SPEAK INSTEAD OF TYPE

Nobody types on a building site. One button beside the shutter, speak the note, done.
Recognition runs on the device only. The text stays correctable, and the recording is
kept and verified along with everything else.

CHECKLISTS SO NOTHING IS MISSED

Templates for handover, damage and construction set out which areas to walk and what
to look at in each. Every item gets a finding and its images. Whatever stays open
appears as open in the report.

THE REPORT IS THE PRODUCT

A PDF with cover page, location overview, checklist, every shot with its details, both
parties' signatures, and the seal document in the appendix. Produced entirely on the
device. Signed with a finger, before sealing.

ARCHIVE, DON'T LOCK IN

A case exports in full: one file with the original shots, all details, the seal
document and instructions for recomputing it. It reads back in here and opens on any
computer.

NO ACCOUNT, NO CLOUD

There is no sign-up and no synchronisation. Everything stays on the device. The only
outbound connection is for the timestamp on sealing and for billing through the App
Store.

WHAT THE PROCEDURE STANDS FOR

It shows that nothing has changed since sealing. It does not show that the photograph
depicts what it purports to depict — someone could photograph a screen. That sentence
appears in the app and in every report.

WHO IT IS FOR

Property managers, loss adjusters, site supervisors and trades dealing with warranty
questions.

SUBSCRIPTION

Without a subscription, three cases can be sealed, with everything that belongs to
them. After that, the annual subscription carries an allowance of fifty cases.
Photographing is never blocked, and sealed cases stay accessible: view, verify,
produce the report, export. Without a subscription too, and after it ends.

The annual subscription renews automatically for another year unless cancelled at
least 24 hours before it ends. Payment is charged to your Apple Account; cancel at
any time in your App Store account settings.
