Drying Log turns jobsite moisture readings into clear daily, final, and claim-ready PDF reports. Built for independent restoration professionals and small mitigation teams, it keeps moisture points, atmospheric conditions, equipment, and photo evidence connected to the same room and visit. Set your field defaults once, confirm today's values, and send the report before leaving the site. FIELD DOCUMENTATION • Organize active losses by client, address, claim, and room • Record pin, pinless, probe, or relative-scale moisture readings • Take a meter photo, use on-device OCR, and confirm one large reading field • Set dry targets and see target status immediately • Re-enter established measurement points in one fast daily screen • Photograph a room and place moisture points directly on the image • Record temperature and relative humidity with calculated dew point and GPP • Track air movers, dehumidifiers, scrubbers, heaters, and sensors by room • Keep jobsite photos and customer or technician signatures with the job REPORTS THAT ARE READY TO USE • Daily visit report for the latest inspection • Final drying report with room-by-room trend charts • Concise claim summary for adjuster review • Recipient-ready sending for the adjuster, client, or project manager • Photo evidence pages • Signed certification page with the captured signature and acknowledgement ESTIMATES, INVOICES & JOB FILES • Search every saved report, estimate, and invoice across all jobs • Create an estimate or invoice by talking, typing, or scanning a written scope • Turn recognized scope-photo text into concise work items with private on-device intelligence when available • See the generated draft in the conversation and find it instantly in Documents • Keep a scanned source image attached to the selected job for review • Create an editable mitigation estimate from documented area and equipment • Reuse saved labor, extraction, equipment, tax, markup, and payment defaults • Convert an approved estimate into an invoice without retyping line items • Track sent, approved, partially paid, paid, and void document status • Record payments and see the remaining invoice balance • Generate branded estimate and invoice PDFs and send them from the job BUILT FOR THE JOBSITE Drying Log works offline and syncs job records and photos through your private iCloud database so they are available on your iPhone and iPad. Meter-display OCR runs on device and can suggest a reading from a photo for you to confirm. There is no separate account setup, advertising, or analytics tracking, and job content is not sent to a developer-operated backend. Drying Log is a documentation tool. It does not measure moisture, certify a structure as dry, determine insurance coverage, or replace the judgment of a qualified restoration professional. Confirm every reading and calculation before relying on or sharing a report. DRYING LOG PRO Drying Log Pro Monthly is an auto-renewable one-month subscription.
