What it is

InspectDesk is an iPhone and iPad app for home inspectors documenting findings and photos, then producing and sending client PDF reports. It works offline for inspections, report generation and report sharing. Inspectors can build templates from custom sections and items, assign severity levels and tags, and generate reports containing findings, photos, annotations and severity badges. Scheduling tools track appointments, completed inspections, scheduled jobs and revenue metrics. Reports, photos, annotations, client information, property details and templates are stored locally on the device; the maker says this data is not collected or transmitted. Apple analytics frameworks may collect anonymous technical details such as device type, operating-system version and performance metrics, depending on settings. InspectDesk is made by Building Five Technologies Inc. and requires iOS 18.0 or later on iPhone and iPadOS 18.0 or later on iPad. The Free plan allows one full inspection and one custom template. A one-time $79.99 Lifetime purchase adds unlimited inspections, templates and backup import/export.
