Walk the site. Leave with the report done. SolidNote turns a job-site walkthrough into a client-ready report without sitting down at a desk afterward. Log issues, track equipment, and send a branded PDF report, all from your phone. Built for general contractors closing out punch lists, and for physical security and mass-notification installers documenting cameras, panels, and speakers. PUNCH LISTS & ISSUES Log a problem, snap a photo, mark it open, in progress, or resolved. Attach more than one photo per issue, mark them up right in the app, and every photo is automatically stamped with the time and location it was taken. Swipe an issue to update its status without opening it. EQUIPMENT TRACKING Document what's actually installed — cameras, speakers, panels, sensors, or your own custom categories. Record a serial number, scan a barcode or QR code, and capture GPS location with one tap. CAMERA COVERAGE MAPS Point your phone the way a camera faces and SolidNote draws its coverage cone right on the map — showing what it actually sees, not just where it's mounted. No other site-inspection app does this. QUICK CAPTURE Walk the site fast: shoot a photo, decide issue or equipment, name it, move to the next one. Everything saves to your project in one pass. REPORTS, READY TO SEND Build a branded PDF report on the spot — choose which issues to include, toggle photos on or off, add your logo, and send it straight from your phone. FREE TO START Try SolidNote on a real job at no cost: up to 3 projects and 2 photos per issue. Upgrade anytime to remove both limits.

Punch List Photos helps solo contractors, handymen, remodelers, and small site supervisors turn a walkthrough into a numbered photo-backed report. Create a project, add issues with photos and status, keep the report local, and share a PDF with clients or subcontractors. The app runs locally, does not require an account, does not use a server, and does not connect to external developer portals in this release.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Punch List Photos at every 3 weeks against SolidNote's every 3 months. SolidNote's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
