About

Daily Construction Log

Features
Read full description

You built all day. The office wants today's report tonight. Construction Daily Log keeps the report going while you work. Drop in a photo when the footings are poured. Add a line when the inspector signs off. Pick the crew, the hours, and the weather. By quitting time the day is already written, so there is nothing to type up at the kitchen table. When you are ready, the day becomes a PDF with your photos, your times, the crew, hours and weather at the top, and the job and client names in the header. You choose who gets it, by email or text. WHAT IT DOES • Add photos and notes as the work happens, and the report builds with them • When a photo carries a capture time, the report uses it instead of the import time • Crew, hours and weather sit at the top of the report • Make a PDF of the day and send it by email or text • Each job keeps its own dated report history BUILT FOR THE JOB SITE • Log the day with no signal. Handing the report over needs a connection • You type the weather yourself, so nothing waits on a forecast • Entries save as you add them • Your jobs, photos and notes are stored on this device. There is no account and no cloud sync. A report leaves the device only when you send it • Large, easy to hit controls PLANS Making and saving reports is always free. Sending a new PDF report needs a subscription. Construction Daily Log Yearly, $99.99 per year. Eligible new subscribers can try it free for 3 days. Unless you cancel before the trial ends, it renews at $99.99 per year. Construction Daily Log Monthly, $14.99 per month. Both are auto-renewing subscriptions. While one is active you can make and hand over as many reports as you like, across every job. Saved reports stay readable. A report you already sent can be sent again later, with or without a subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase, or when a free trial ends. Subscriptions renew automatically, and the Apple Account is charged within 24 hours before the current period ends, unless canceled at least 24 hours before that. Manage or cancel subscriptions in your App Store account settings. Prices are shown in US dollars and may differ by region.
