The report gets written at 9 pm, or not at all
After ten hours on site nobody wants to type. So the log is a line in WhatsApp, a photo with no date, or a blank day. Gaps are what the other side's lawyer looks for first.
Construction daily reports, done from the truck in two minutes.
Daily Site Log is a free construction daily log app for small contractors: an AI site log that fills itself in while you talk through the day. Add photos with a verified time and GPS stamp, record delays, and send the client a sealed PDF.

The daily log is insurance. Most crews are uninsured.
When a client disputes a delay or an invoice, the daily record is the first thing anyone asks for. It only counts if it is complete, dated and unchanged. That is hard to do on paper at the end of a shift.
Photos prove nothing without time and place
A picture of a flooded trench from a phone gallery could be any day, any site. Without a captured time and GPS position it does not settle an argument about when the rain came.
Delays are remembered, not recorded
The concrete truck was late. By the time the extension-of-time claim is written, nobody can say which day, how long, or who was responsible. The claim is lost on detail.
Fix it from tomorrow Free plan, no card. Your first report takes two minutes.
Three steps at the end of the day
Foremen do not write reports at night. They talk for two minutes and check what came back.
- 1
Talk through the day
Tap the mic at the truck. Work done, crews, deliveries, delays, safety. AI sorts it into the report; you check it.
- 2
Add photos that hold up
Every photo taken in the app is stamped with the time, GPS position and a SHA-256 hash. Gallery photos are kept but marked unverified.
- 3
Send a sealed PDF
Submitting seals the report with a fingerprint anyone can check. Send it to the client on WhatsApp or email in one tap.
2-minute walkthrough
Watch one delay go from the site to a signed record
The foreman talks, the report fills, the delay is named, the photo is stamped and the PDF is sealed so anyone can check it.
What it looks like on site
No training. Every screen says what to do next.
Voice notes
Say it once. The form fills itself.
"Six masons from Khan Builders on the west wall, eight hours. CityMix truck forty-five minutes late, pour started 9:15. Toolbox talk done, no incidents." That sentence becomes labour rows, a delay entry and a safety record. You check it, you don’t type it.

Photos
Every photo says when and where it was taken.
Take the photo in the app and the time, GPS position and a SHA-256 hash are burned into the image and printed under it in the PDF. Picked from the gallery? It is kept, but labelled unverified. The difference is what a dispute turns on.

Sealed PDF
A report the other side cannot say you edited.
Submitting seals the record with a fingerprint of its content, photo hashes and signature. The PDF carries the fingerprint; the public verify page re-checks it. Change one word later and the check fails.

Everything a daily log needs, nothing it doesn’t
No scheduling module, no RFI tracker, no enterprise onboarding. One job, done properly.
Voice to report
Describe the day in your own words. The form fills itself; you review every field before it is saved.
Stamped photos
Time, GPS and a hash burned into the image. Verified or unverified is printed under every photo, in the app and the PDF.
Delays on record
Type, times, cause, responsible party. One claim-ready PDF of every delay on a project, in one click.
Weather filled in
Conditions for the report date at the project address, so nobody argues about the rain later.
Works with no signal
Reports and photos save on the phone and upload themselves when you are back in range.
Tamper-evident
A SHA-256 fingerprint sealed at submission. If a record changes afterwards, the public check fails.
Weekly client report
Add the client's email to a project and they get one branded PDF of the week every Monday. Nothing extra to do.
Team and approvals
Supervisors file, admins approve or send back. Every action lands in an audit log.
Missing-report alerts
Know the same evening which site has not filed, before the gap becomes a problem in a claim.
Templates are free. Field apps are per user. Neither is built for the dispute.
An honest comparison with the two things small contractors use today.
| Word / Excel template | Per-user field apps | Daily Site Log | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fill the report by talking | No | No | Yes |
| Photos with verified time and GPS | No | Some | Yes |
| Proof a record was not edited later | No | No | Yes |
| Works with no signal | Paper only | Some | Yes |
| Weather added automatically | No | Yes | Yes |
| Delay register and claim PDF | No | Add-on | Yes |
| Weekly PDF emailed to the client | No | No | Yes |
| Free plan | Yes | Trial only | Yes |
| Pricing | Free | Per user, per month | Flat, per company |
"Some" and "Add-on" mean it exists in the category but not in every product or plan.

- Approval workflow and audit log
- Free read-only logins for clients
How your records are protected
Plain facts, because this is the part that matters when a record is challenged.
- Reports are sealed with a SHA-256 fingerprint at submission and are never editable afterwards.
- Photo hashes are calculated on the server when uploaded; the fingerprint covers them.
- Nothing in the database is reachable from the browser directly; every read and write goes through the server with an access check.
- Share links are random, revocable, and expire on the Free plan. Your report number is never a key.
- Every approval, rejection, share and settings change is written to an audit log your admin can read.

Questions contractors ask
- Is there a free construction daily report app?
- Yes. The Free plan covers one project and ten reports a month with the full form, five photos per report, offline saving and a watermarked PDF. No card needed.
- How is this different from a daily report template?
- A template still means typing, formatting and finding photos later. Here you talk, the form fills, photos are stamped and the PDF is built and sent for you. The template is the output, not the work.
- What makes a photo 'verified'?
- A photo taken with the in-app camera gets the device time, GPS position and a SHA-256 hash of the file recorded at that moment and burned into the image. A photo picked from the gallery is kept, but labelled unverified, because we cannot know when or where it was really taken.
- What does 'sealed' mean?
- When a report is submitted, a fingerprint of its full content, every photo hash and the signature is calculated and stored. Anyone with the report number can re-check it on the public verify page. If a single character changes afterwards, the check fails.
- Can my client see the reports?
- Three ways. Send any report as a read-only link on WhatsApp or email (all plans). Have a weekly PDF emailed automatically (Pro). Or give the client a free read-only login limited to their projects (Business).
- Does it work on a phone with no signal?
- Yes. Install it from the browser like an app. Reports and photos are saved on the device and upload themselves when the connection returns. Nothing is lost if the signal drops mid-report.
- Is it priced per user?
- No. Free is free. Pro is $19 a month for the company. Business is $79 a month with five seats included and more at $10 each, plus unlimited free client logins. Most field apps charge per user, which is why small crews stop using them.
- Who is behind it?
- One software engineer, building it independently. Support emails reach the person who wrote the code. See the About page.
