Observe. Document. Let the pattern speak. When a noisy neighbor, a misplaced fence, or a barking dog has disrupted life for months, words alone may not move a landlord, mediator, or small-claims judge. Time-stamped documentation can. NeighborLog is a private evidence journal for that work. Log an incident with its time, type, severity, observations, and impact. Measure noise in decibels without buying a meter. Preserve photo timestamps and GPS coordinates. Track complaints and outcomes. Then surface the pattern: "34 incidents over six months, 86 percent on Friday and Saturday nights." This is not a reporting app. It does not contact your neighbor, the city, or anyone else. It is a private notebook that organizes facts so they hold up later. YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR PHONE - No account. No login. No cloud upload. - All data stored locally using SwiftData. - We have no servers. We never see your dispute. - The noise meter calculates approximate levels from brief in-memory microphone input. It does not record, write audio files or upload audio. Only numeric readings are saved. Use the microphone only where permitted. WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR FREE - 1 neighbor / 1 dispute, up to 10 incidents - 1 GPS-tagged photo per incident - Up to 5 communications, 2 municipal complaints, 3 damage cost entries - Inline witness names on each incident - Basic incident-summary PDF + Markdown timeline export - Face ID / Touch ID app lock - your data stays private at no charge - Optional daily documentation reminder - enabled only when you choose - Home screen widget (incident count + days since last) - Quick Start PDF manual + rights guide UPGRADE TO PRO TO UNLOCK - Built-in decibel meter - live levels, no audio recording or audio files. - Pattern analysis with Swift Charts - day-of-week, hour-of-day, frequency, escalation. - Full evidence package PDF + CSV export for mediation, attorney, or small claims court. - Unlimited neighbors and incidents - no 10-incident cap. - Multiple GPS-tagged photos per incident - free is capped at 1 per incident. - Unlimited communications - free is capped at 5 per dispute. - Unlimited municipal complaint entries - free is capped at 2 per dispute. - Unlimited damage cost entries - free is capped at 3 per dispute. - Full witness directory with willingness-to-testify status and cross-incident links. WHO THIS IS FOR - Homeowners with a chronic noise, boundary, fence, tree, or drainage dispute. - Renters whose landlord has ignored repeated complaints about the unit upstairs. - Owners preparing for mediation, code enforcement, or small claims court. - Anyone whose lawyer said "document everything before we file." WHO THIS IS NOT FOR - People wanting a way to confront, contact, or shame their neighbor. - People wanting AI to interpret their dispute or recommend legal action. - People wanting their log synced to a community moderator or city portal. NeighborLog is a personal documentation tool. It does not provide legal advice, file complaints, communicate with neighbors, or guarantee any court or mediator will accept its output. The decibel meter is not laboratory-calibrated; readings are for relative comparison only.
