Daily Report

Read full description

Talk for a minute. Walk away with a finished daily report. Daily Report turns a quick voice note into a structured construction daily report, then a signed PDF you can email before you leave the gate. Speak or type what happened: crews and hours, work performed, deliveries, delays, inspections, safety, visitors. The AI sorts it into the right sections, you review and fix anything, sign, and send. BUILT FOR THE FIELD Online, you get our most accurate AI, on any iPhone. No signal? The report still gets done: on-device AI takes over automatically (iPhone 15 Pro or newer with Apple Intelligence), and every section can always be filled by hand. Nothing about your day waits on coverage. A RECORD YOU CAN STAND BEHIND Daily reports settle arguments, so this app treats every one like evidence. A signature is required to finish. Date, time, and GPS status are stamped honestly, including when location was unavailable and why. Every finished PDF carries a tamper-evidence fingerprint, so you can show it has not changed since you signed it. And the AI never invents numbers: if you did not say it, the report leaves it blank. FIX A REPORT WITHOUT LOSING THE ORIGINAL Spot a mistake after signing? Edit the report and your correction is saved as a new version. The signed original is preserved exactly as it was, and every version stays viewable. Nothing is ever quietly changed. DRAFTS THAT WAIT FOR YOU Start a report, get pulled away, and pick it up later. Your work autosaves as a draft and gets its report number when you sign. YOUR DATA, HANDLED HONESTLY Your voice recordings stay on your phone. With Cloud AI on, only the report text is sent to organize it and returned to your device. No account, no sign-in, no ads, no tracking. Prefer everything local? Switch to On-device mode in Settings. Free, from Construction Copilot by Weigh Anchor LLC. You run the job. It runs the paperwork.
