SiteNotes is the fastest way to document a construction site, whether you're the foreman writing the daily diary or the engineer signing off the inspection report. Long-press the mic, talk for ten seconds, and the app does the rest. No typing on a wet glove. No login. No monthly subscription. TWO ROLES, ONE APP Pick your role on first launch โ€” the home screen, AI focus and PDF template all adapt to what you actually do. SITE TEAM MODE โ€” for foremen, project managers, builders and supervisors - Voice-dictate site notes one-handed; auto-classified into hazards, completed work and daily diary entries. - GPS auto-detects the nearest jobsite, so logs land on the right project. - Calendar view with overdue + today's tasks pushed front-and-centre. - Export a polished Daily Site Diary PDF for the client, head office or principal contractor in one tap. - Optional team collaboration via Apple's CloudKit Sharing โ€” assign sites to crew members; member logs flow back to the head's device. ENGINEER MODE โ€” for inspectors, QA engineers, building certifiers - Inspection sessions (not loose notes): start a visit, dictate findings, finish โ€” every note auto-bundles into one signed report. - Floor plan pins: tap on the architectural drawing to mark a defect or hazard at 10ร— the accuracy of GPS. - Site Visit Report PDF with project header, conducted-by + site representative blocks, optional disclaimers, photos and floor-plan annotations. - One-tap email to the builder using the recipient list you maintain per project. - Caption-per-photo override so each PDF entry tells the right story. WHY SITENOTES IS DIFFERENT - Voice-first. One-handed capture, designed for a noisy jobsite and gloves. - Works offline. The whole app runs without a connection. Sync later when you're back in coverage. - On-device AI. Transcription and classification happen on your iPhone. Your notes don't leave the device unless you choose to export them. - No account required. Nothing to sign up for, no team seats to buy, no servers holding your data hostage. - Native iOS. Fast, ad-free, designed for the iPhone you already use on site. COMMON FEATURES - Auto-classified into hazards, completed work and daily diary entries. - GPS auto-detects the nearest jobsite, so logs land on the right project. - Weather and site conditions stamped on every entry. - Attach photos inline, annotate them with arrows and notes, and pin them to a floor plan. - iCloud sync uses your own Apple ID. Move between iPhone and iPad without setting up another account. PRIVACY SiteNotes runs on-device by default. Voice transcription, classification and storage all happen on your iPhone. There is no SiteNotes account, no analytics dashboard tracking your day, and no advertising network. If you turn on iCloud sync, your data syncs through your own iCloud account โ€” we never see it. BUILT FOR THE TRADES Whether you're running a renovation, a commercial fit-out, a civil works site or a residential build, SiteNotes keeps both the daily diary and the formal inspection report organised without slowing you down. Designed alongside working foremen, engineers and QA inspectors in Australia, the UK and the US. Free in v1.0. Download it, take it on tomorrow's site walk, and see how much faster a day's worth of notes can be.

Snap the job, say what it needs. Fielded does the paperwork. Fielded is an estimate app for contractors and trades. Walk the job, take photos, talk through the work, and send a priced estimate before you leave, while the client is still keen. Home inspection reports live in the same app. I built Fielded for contractors who are great on site and tired of writing estimates at the kitchen table at 10pm. Talk through the job, no typing, and get your evenings back. HOW AN ESTIMATE COMES TOGETHER - Take photos during the walkthrough without saying a word. They wait as unsorted photos. - Describe the job by voice or text: on site, in the truck, or later in the Assistant. - Fielded drafts the quote for your review: areas (kitchen, bathroom, outside), line items with quantity and unit, and the photos placed where they belong. - Say "the deck is twelve by sixteen" and it works out the square footage. - Change anything with a tap or a sentence ("make the floor fifty square feet"). Every AI change can be undone. YOUR PRICES, NEVER GUESSED - Prices come only from your own price list or from what you type or say. - Fielded never invents a price. Anything it cannot match waits under "To price". - Price a line once and it is saved to your price list for next time. MADE FOR QUOTING IN FRONT OF THE CLIENT - Money is hidden while you capture, so you can talk through the job with the homeowner standing next to you. One switch shows it if you prefer. - The Quote tab always shows subtotal, tax, deposit and total. - Upsells go in as optional lines, kept apart from the total. Add one after the visit with a single sentence in the Assistant. SEND IT AND GET THE YES - Send a link and the PDF from your phone: text, WhatsApp or email. - Your client opens the estimate on their phone and accepts it online by typing their name. - See Sent, Opened and Accepted on every job, with a notification when the client opens it and when they accept. - Accepted estimates are locked until you reopen them, so nothing changes after the client said yes. LOOKS LIKE YOUR BUSINESS - Business details with your logo, license and contact info on every estimate and report. - Quote defaults: tax name and rate, validity, deposit and terms. Exclusions per job. - Your currency and your language, with imperial units in the US. BUILT FOR THE TRADES Building and remodeling, handyman services, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, painting, roofing, landscaping, flooring and tiling, cleaning. Every new account starts with a sample estimate for its trade, so you see the whole flow in a minute. INSPECTION REPORTS TOO - Talk and take photos as you walk the property. Fielded suggests the report section and status and drafts the narrative for your review. - Built-in templates for residential home inspections and commercial building condition reports. - Bring your own: create a custom template from a sample report PDF. - Edit reports offline, then share a PDF or a web link. Edit on a computer at console.getfielded.app. PRICING Free trial: 3 estimates or reports, or 14 days. Then Fielded Pro, one simple plan with unlimited estimates and reports. No ads, no data selling. Fielded is for estimates and inspection reports. It does not send invoices, take payments or schedule jobs. Download Fielded and send your next estimate before you leave the job.
