Looking to save on taxes? Claiming REPS or unlocking the STR Loophole with the IRS could be your key!REPSLog is the hour-tracking app for real estate investors who claim Real Estate Professional Status (REPS) or the short-term rental (STR) loophole. Log every hour of material participation with the date, property, category, participant and receipt attached, and hand your CPA an audit-ready PDF and CSV at tax time. iPhone and web app (app.reps-log.com), one account, synced in seconds. WHY A CONTEMPORANEOUS LOG The IRS expects a dated record of your hours kept as you go, not one rebuilt in April. • REPS: more than 750 hours and more than half of your working time in real property trades or businesses, plus material participation in your rentals (the 500-hour test). • STR loophole: material participation in your short-term rentals, typically 500+ hours, or 100+ hours and more than anyone else. REPSLog keeps a counter for each test and each property. LOG HOURS IN SECONDS • One entry form: what, when, how long, which property, who did it, with evidence attached. • Voice Logging: tap the mic, say what you did, and watch the entry write itself. Live chips confirm duration, property and date. • AI Entry Autofill: type one sentence and the duration, property, category and date fill in. • Built-in Timer with Live Activity and Dynamic Island: time the work as it happens, from the lock screen. • Quick Actions: long-press the app icon to add an entry or start the timer. • Recurring and Common Activities: one-tap tiles for routine landlord and STR tasks. • Suggested for You: personalized AI entry suggestions learned from your own log. • Duplicate an entry, or backdate one to the day the work happened. PROVE IT • Evidence Attachments: receipts, photos, PDFs, Word and Excel files on every entry, with notes. • AI Receipt and Document Reading writes a plain-language note for each receipt or PDF. • Smart Search finds entries by meaning, and by what is inside your receipts. • Entry Log Filters by date range, property, participant and category, with a live hours total. TRACK THE RIGHT NUMBER • Hours Dashboard: progress toward 750, 500 or 100 hours, by property, category and year. • STR Loophole Tracking: every short-term rental gets its own 100 or 500-hour counter, separate from your long-term rentals. • Multiple Properties: add each rental by address and mark it LTR or STR, down to individual units. • Participants: track your spouse, cleaner, property manager or co-host, so you can show nobody spent more time than you. • Custom Activity Categories on top of 13 built-in ones. CALENDARS AND IMPORTS • Booking Calendar Sync: connect Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com or any iCal feed and log the work around each guest stay. • Calendar Integration: turn Google, Microsoft 365 or device calendar events into entries in one tap. • CSV Import (web app): bring years of spreadsheet hours in at once.

Built for Falconers Who Take Their Craft Seriously FalconryLab was built in the field, for the field: the early mornings, the muddy boots, the obsessive weight tracking, the bond between falconer and bird that no spreadsheet holds. Whether you are an apprentice flying your first red-tail or a sponsor with a mews full of longwings, this is your falconry journal. WEIGHT TRACKING THAT LEARNS YOUR BIRD Log the morning weight and the evening feed; FalconryLab does the rest. It works out your bird's own burn rate from its own history, not a textbook figure, predicts where the weight is heading, and shows the trend at a glance. You know where your bird stands before you open the mews door. FEEDING CALCULATORS Tell it tonight's target and it works out how much to feed. Weigh the food before and after and it works out how much was actually eaten. No mental arithmetic in the dark. GPS HUNT JOURNAL Live GPS path recording, waypoints for flushes, slips and kills, and automatic weather capture. When the hunt is over, replay it on a map with distance, duration, quarry and outcome. Over a season it becomes a record of every field you walked. THE FALCONRY MAP A shared map of raptor sightings, kept by falconers. Drop a pin on the exact spot you saw a bird, and see your own hunt trails on the same map. Every sighting starts private and nothing is shared until you decide it should be. It matters most for a bird that is not wild: jesses, anklets or telemetry mean it is almost certainly somebody's, and a public pin is how its falconer finds it. You can message whoever posted a sighting in a thread scoped to that pin. TRAINING LOGS Eight session types that follow the real progression, from manning and feeding on the fist through creance and free flight to hunting. Weather and location are captured for you, so you can look back and see what actually worked for this bird. MOLT AND RECONDITIONING Follow the molt feather group by feather group, with photos, from the first drop to hard-penned. When the season comes round again, build a reconditioning plan from molt weight down to hunting weight and follow it day by day. SEASONS Close a season, open the next, and set them side by side to see how far the bird came. SPONSOR AND APPRENTICE MATCHING The apprenticeship is the heart of falconry. Find sponsors by location and specialization, share progress, and talk directly. Sponsors can review credentials, follow development and guide their apprentices in one place. TEAMS AND COMPLIANCE Coordinate across several falconers with shared birds and shared records, and keep licenses, permits and documents where you can find them before an inspection, not after. OFFLINE FIRST No signal, no problem. Everything saves on the device first and syncs when you are back in range. Siri Shortcuts log a weight or drop a sighting hands-free, with a bird on the glove.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: FalconryLab at none against REPSLog's shown. REPSLog's advantage is ratings volume (193 vs 2). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. REPSLog sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and FalconryLab sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for REPSLog against 5.0 for FalconryLab. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: REPSLog has 193 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
REPSLog ships an update fortnightly, FalconryLab every 11 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
