**Talk to your contractors without anything getting lost.** A group chat is where reno decisions go to die. "Which wall did you mean?" "Did they see my 11pm voice note?" "I don't think the crew understood that." Walkthru fixes the way you and your crew talk about the job. Walk the room and talk. Record a video, snap a photo, or leave a voice note, and draw right on the screen to point at what you mean. Walkthru listens, throws out the small talk, and turns your instructions into clear tasks — each with a title, the clip it came from, and a checklist you can edit. No more twenty-line messages. Then send the crew a link. No app, no account for them. They open it in any browser, see exactly what to do, tick it off, and send a photo back. **Why homeowners keep it** - Point and talk, don't type. Aim the camera and say what you want. The app does the writing. - Nothing quietly gets missed. Every request becomes a tracked item with its own checklist and a status you can see: open, in progress, done. - Fewer redos you pay for. Clear instructions up front, with a clip to point back to, mean fewer misreads you fix later. - Multilingual without thinking about it. Your crew picks their own language. Tasks, subtitles, and replies are translated automatically — 16 languages supported. - Nothing for the crew to install. Contractors open a web link. No downloads, no accounts, no friction on their end. - A project per job. Stop digging through threads. Each project keeps its feed, its tasks, and its people in one place. **How it works** 1. Walk the room and talk — video, photos, a voice note, or a file. Draw on screen to point at what you mean. 2. Walkthru writes the tasks for you, filters out the chatter, and attaches the clip each one came from. 3. Send the crew a link. They see the task, tick items off, and send photo proof back. **Built for the job that's live right now** Walkthru is for the homeowner running an active build or renovation, coordinating a painter, plumber, electrician, landscaper, and a GC all at once. It's not a chat app and not a spreadsheet — it's the one place the job actually lives, and the record stays after it's done. Say it once. In any language. Nothing forgotten. Free to download. iPhone only for now. Your crew joins free — no download required.
