WHAT IS IN THE APP

Built for people with wet hands and no time.

Fewer taps, bigger buttons, and the app tells you plainly what it knows and what it does not.

  • GUIDED CAPTURE

    A checklist that shows what is next

    Each room shows how many tasks are done, and each task whether its before and after photos are still needed. Nothing is missed, and a job cannot be handed in with required photos missing.

  • A camera that checks the shot

    A blank, dark or very small photo is flagged while retaking is still easy. So is one taken far from the property. Advice only: you can keep any photo.

  • Works with no signal

    Jobs, checklists and photos live on the phone first. They send when the phone can, and the app says honestly what has and has not arrived.

  • Your route, on a map

    The day's jobs in the order they start, with the property pinned and an on-site radius, and a tap to open it in Maps.

  • A line to the office

    Message the office from the job, and choose which events alert your phone: a job submitted, a client issue, a fix ready to check.

  • LIGHT AND DARK

    Made to be read outdoors

    Large type and big touch targets for bright sun and gloves off or on, with a dark mode for early starts. It eases motion if your phone asks it to.

ONE APP, TWO KINDS OF DAY

The crew gets a checklist. The office gets the proof.

FOR THE CREW

Today is the job in front of you.

  • Your assigned jobs only, in start order
  • Before and after photos, room by room
  • Saved on the phone when there is no signal
  • Your route on a map, and a line to the office
  • Time off requests without a phone call

FOR OWNERS AND ADMINS

Run the business from your pocket.

  • Proof in, photos waiting and who needs a nudge
  • Accept a photo, or send it back with a reason
  • Jobs, clients, properties and templates, as a list
  • Invoices, quotes and the roster on the go
  • An alert when a job is submitted or a client raises an issue

WHEN THE SIGNAL DROPS

Signal is optional. The record isn’t.

Basements, plant rooms and new estates: the work still gets captured, and it arrives intact.

  1. STEP 1

    Saved on the phone

    The moment a photo is taken it is stored on the device, with the time and place it was taken.

  2. STEP 2

    Waiting, in order

    If there is no signal the photo waits in a queue and is retried. The app shows how many are waiting.

  3. STEP 3

    Safe on ProofTrail

    On arrival each original is fingerprinted, and it is only then shown as sent. The original cannot be swapped.

INSTALL IT

On your phone in under two minutes.

While the Play Store listing is finished, the app installs straight from this page.

  1. Download the file

    Tap the button below on your Android phone. You get a file called ProofTrail.apk.

  2. Allow it, once

    Android asks permission to install from this source. Say yes for this file, the same as any app installed outside the Play Store.

  3. Sign in

    Use the email you signed up with, or the one your boss invited you with. A code is emailed to you, or use a password.

Download the Android app

On an iPhone? There is no iPhone app yet. The web app works in the browser with the same jobs and photos: start a free trial.

QUESTIONS

About the Android app.

Is the Android app free?

It comes with every plan, including the free trial. Plans differ in how much you use (jobs, people, clients), not in whether you can use the app.

Do I need an account?

Yes, the same one as the web app. If your boss added you, sign in with the email they invited and you land in their business. A code is emailed to you, or use a password.

Why is it a download and not on the Play Store?

It is in testing before that submission. Until then it installs like any other .apk: Android asks you to allow that once, for this file. The file is served from this site.

Does it really work with no signal?

Yes. The jobs you are assigned, their checklists and the photos you take are saved on the phone. They are sent when the phone is back in range, in order, and the app shows what is still waiting.

What does it do with my location?

It records where each photo was taken, so your business can check the photo was taken at the property. If location is off, the photo is still saved; your business is just told it cannot confirm where.

Is there an iPhone app?

Not yet. On an iPhone, the web app works in the browser, with the same jobs and photos. We will say here when an iPhone app exists.
