## What is Heyalog?

When you move out, being charged for damage you cannot prove was already there is the single most common dispute. What settles it is the record you made on the day you moved in.

Heyalog documents the condition of a rental with photos, following the categories in Japan's MLIT guidelines on restoring rental properties, and turns them into a PDF report you can bring to the final walkthrough.

■ Move-in documentation is completely free

Guided photo points, room by room
Forty-six points across nine areas — entrance, bedrooms, Japanese-style room, living/kitchen, bathroom, washroom, toilet, balcony and equipment — are ready from the start. For a bedroom that means the whole floor, all four walls, ceiling, fittings, window and sash, and lighting. Shooting tips are shown per room type.

A progress ring so nothing is missed
Every point you record raises the ring. Fill it to 100% and you will not be left wishing you had photographed one more thing.

Tags and comments
Sort findings as scratch, stain, damage, equipment fault or other, and add a note. Capture times are recorded automatically and cannot be edited in the app.

Meter readings and key counts
Record electricity, gas and water readings plus how many keys and cards you received. These cannot be captured in a photo, yet they are a frequent point of dispute at settlement.

PDF report, language chosen independently
Cover page, checklist by location, photo ledger, meters and keys, notes, and a confirmation block for both parties. The appendix lists a SHA-256 hash for every photo, so any later substitution can be detected. The report language is independent of the app language, so you can hand a Japanese report to a Japanese management company while using the app in English.

■ Premium, one-time purchase

Same-angle move-out photos
Your move-in photo is overlaid on the camera at partial transparency. Line up the same framing and shoot, and the two line up exactly.

Move-in vs move-out comparison PDF
A spread with move-in on the left and move-out on the right, including the elapsed tenancy calculated automatically — useful when discussing normal wear and tear.

Backup export and restore
Export everything, original photos included, as a ZIP and load it on a new device. A tenancy lasts years, so this is what protects you when you change phones.

■ Privacy

Photos and records stay on your device. Nothing is sent to a server. No account, no ads, no tracking. One-time purchase, so there is no subscription to cancel.

■ Please note

This app is a tool for recording and organising. It does not provide legal advice, assess whether a charge is reasonable, negotiate with a landlord or management company on your behalf, or perform any other legal service, and it does not guarantee the legal evidentiary force of your records. For an individual dispute, please consult a consumer affairs body or a qualified lawyer.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.1 — 2026-08-07

Version 1.1 substantially strengthens the fundamentals.

Edit your records
Comments, tags and shot type can now be changed after saving. Capture times and the photos themselves remain unchangeable, to preserve their evidentiary value.

Delete properties, search records
You can now delete a property, and its photos and reminders are cleaned up with it. A new search filters records by property, location, comment, tag and session.

Restore from backup
An exported ZIP can now be loaded on a new device — use it when you change phones.

Meters and keys
Record electricity, gas and water readings plus key and card counts, and print them in the PDF.

Pre-export completeness check
If points are still undocumented, you are told what is left before the report is generated.

Comparison fix
Free-form records now pair correctly in the comparison report, and you can add comments and tags while taking overlay shots.

36 languages
The app interface now covers 36 languages and can be switched inside the app.

Also improved: purchase and restore feedback, a route to re-enable camera access, progress ring legibility, iPad layout, and move-out reminder reliability.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-07-13

Version 1.0.1 focuses on everyday polish:
- Tap any photo to view it full screen with pinch-to-zoom
- Set a move-out date to get reminders 30 and 7 days before, so you're ready for comparison shots
- New quick start guide for first-time users
- Haptic feedback when saving records
- Minor UI and stability improvements

### 1.0 — 2026-06-11

No release notes.
