Daily logs
Write down what happened, with photos, on the day it happened. Six months on, that record is the only thing that settles a question about who did what.
- Photos attached to the day they were taken
- Weather and how many were on site
- One dated entry per day, in order
- The record you hand an inspector or a lender

Framing crew topped out the second floor. Window delivery pushed to Thursday, so the opening on the north wall stays sheeted until then.
Contractor directory
Every trade on the job in one list, with the number you need when you are standing in the mud and the concrete truck has not turned up.
- Name, company, trade, phone and email
- License number on file
- Whether you have verified their insurance
- Your own notes and rating, written after they leave

- Nothing to sync: it is the same task list

Also included
More capabilities in the app
Smaller pieces that do not need a section of their own, and that you will still use most weeks.
Progress tracking
How far along each phase is, and how many tasks are complete, without you adding anything up.
Cloud sync
Your project lives in your account, so the phone in the truck and the laptop at the kitchen table show the same numbers.
Export and reports
Download your costs as a QuickBooks-compatible CSV, for your accountant or your lender.
Purchase support
Materials, suppliers, unit costs, and what has actually been delivered against what you ordered.
Punchlist support
The small unfinished items, each with a location and a severity, instead of the back of an envelope.
Why it matters
Why an owner-builder needs this
Built by somebody doing exactly this, mid-build, on an ICF house in Morgan, Utah.
Keep the contractor fee
A general contractor charges a fee to run the build. Run it yourself and that job — and that fee — stays with you. This is what makes doing it yourself worth the work.
Reduce stress
Stop carrying the schedule, the budget and four phone numbers in your head. Look it up instead of remembering it.
Stay accountable
Dated logs and photos mean you can show an inspector, a lender or a sub exactly what happened, and when.
All in one place
One account instead of a spreadsheet, a notes app, a camera roll and a folder of paper on the passenger seat.
