About

Miharashi

Features

MIHARASHI is a progress board that visualizes construction site progress by "section" using colors. It is neither a schedule chart nor a photo log. The moment you open the board, you can see exactly what is finished and what remains, simply by color. ■ Understand by Color, Without Reading Every time you tap a section, its status advances one step: Not Started (Gray) → In Progress (Blue) → Completed (Green) → Needs Review (Red). There is no need to read text. The board is two-dimensional (Floors × Sections). Even on large sites, you can instantly see where remaining work is concentrated based on color, reducing the time spent on checking and making phone calls. ■ At a Glance, Right on Your Wrist Now supporting Apple Watch. Swipe up, down, left, and right on your wrist to look around the sections, and tap to update the status. It synchronizes bi-directionally with your iPhone in real-time, reflecting the latest edits instantly. You can update progress even while on a stepladder without taking out your iPhone. ■ See Progress Without Opening the App Added iOS widgets. Display your "Total Progress %" and a "Mini Section Board" on your Home Screen and Lock Screen. It also supports Apple Watch complications, keeping the overall progress visible on your watch face at all times. Check the live status of your site without opening the app. ■ Feel the Completion of a Floor When all sections on a floor are completed, a subtle haptic feedback will notify you. The milestone is quietly transmitted to your wrist and fingertips. ■ Batch Updates Select multiple sections to change status or assignees all at once. It also supports column-based selection and floor duplication. Even on large sites, updates can be done in just a few taps. ■ Manage Workers and Materials on the Same Board See who is in charge of which section with color-coded badges. You can also manage remaining materials (e.g., Caulking compound 36/50 tubes) together. No need to switch to another app. ■ Build the Board to Match Your Site Add floors and columns in bulk, and assign consecutive numbers with a single tap. Supports switching between vertical/horizontal layouts and specifying start numbers. You can match the board to the actual layout of the site, such as "3rd Floor North, Around Window Frames". ■ 4 Display Styles Minimal (Clean White) / Professional (Practical Tool) / Japanese Style (Mincho font & Traditional Colors) / HUD (Gaming Style). Switch according to the site atmosphere or your preference. Background brightness (Light/Dark) can also be adjusted. ■ Supports Multiple Sites and Sheets Manage your work separately by creating different boards for each site or sheet. By setting a "Standard Sheet," you can instantly create a new site from a template. ■ Works Offline & No Ads Use it seamlessly even on sites with no internet connection. Data is saved within the device. No advertisements are displayed at all. A one-time Pro purchase unlocks all features with no additional charges. ■ Backup & Restore Export all sites and sheets into a single file. Peace of mind before changing device models or reinstalling. ■ 11 Languages & Color Vision Support Supports Japanese, English, Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Korean, Hindi, Indonesian, and Arabic (Right-to-Left display). Color vision support is also available, adding symbols to each status. ■ Recommended For: ・Foremen, site managers, and independent contractors working on sections in large-scale renovations, interior work, painting, caulking, and utilities. ・Those who want to quickly share progress through "colors" rather than "numbers". Improve the visibility of your site. Try it out starting with a single board.
