Speak your work. Material listens, structures it, and files it under the right property. No typing. No forms. Just stream your thoughts and we'll figure out the rest. Built for busy professionals who need highly detailed audit logs, but don't like typing! BUILT FOR REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONALS Qualifying as a real estate professional — or meeting the material participation tests for short-term rentals — requires documented hours. Material builds that record automatically, organized the way your accountant expects it. TRACK BY PROPERTY Add each property once. Material links every activity to the right one and tracks your progress toward the IRS hour thresholds: 100h, 500h, or 750h — whichever applies to your situation. HOW IT WORKS • Tap the record button and describe what you did • Material transcribes and structures the entry: date, duration, category, and property • Review, save, and move on — in under 30 seconds FEATURES • Voice-first logging with perfect structuring.
