Quick Start

Own your home. Don't let your home own you.

crawlspace is a simple way to build a permanent, growing record of your home's condition. You notice something — a crack, a stain, a worn-out fixture — you open the app, capture it in about 30 seconds, and crawlspace's AI platform analyzes it and files it into your home's record. Over time that record becomes the most complete picture of your home you've ever had.

This is an early beta. Thank you for testing it.

1. Install the app

You'll get a TestFlight invite by email.

1. Install TestFlight from the App Store (Apple's app for testing beta apps).
2. Open the invite email or link on your iPhone and tap Accept / Install.
3. Launch crawlspace from your home screen like any other app.

iPhone only for now. Android is coming.

2. Sign up and pick your role

Create an account, then choose the role that fits you:

• Homeowner — document and track your own home over time
• Prospective Buyer — size up a home before you make an offer
• Renter — record condition at move-in, move-out, or anytime
• Home Inspector / Real Estate Agent / Contractor — licensed pro roles

Your role shapes what crawlspace produces for you. Most of you testing this are Homeowners — that's the flow described below.

3. Add your first log entry

When you open crawlspace to log something:

1. Confirm your home. crawlspace detects your location and confirms the property address you're documenting — so every entry stays tied to the right home. (You only do this once per visit, not for every entry.)
2. Take a photo of what you noticed.
3. Say what you're looking at — and where you are in the home. Just talk normally: “This is a water stain on the ceiling in the upstairs hallway bathroom.” crawlspace figures out the room from what you say. No extra typing.
4. Optionally tag the system (plumbing, roof, electrical, etc.).
5. Save it. That's your first entry — about 30 seconds.

Add as many entries as you want — each photo and note is its own entry, all filed under your home.

4. Review the AI analysis

When you're ready, generate the analysis. crawlspace's AI platform reviews your photos and notes and writes up what it sees — a plain-language summary, the things worth knowing, severity, and a rough cost range where it can.

It's a first pass, not the last word. You can edit anything — it's your record and you know your home. Fix anything the AI misread.

5. Finish

At the bottom of your entry you'll see two buttons:

• Done — saves the entry to your record and finishes. You don't have to share with anyone. Tap this when you're finished.
• Share (optional) — sends a private link to anyone. Share with your spouse so you're both on the same page about the house. Share with your landlord to document condition at move-in or move-out. Share with a contractor so they see exactly what needs fixing before they quote. Sharing does not finish the entry — you can keep working and tap Done when you're ready.

(Inspectors see a single Submit for review button instead — the report goes to crawlspaceHQ for review and approval.)

Either way, your entry is safely saved.

6. Your record lives in My History

Open My History from your profile to see everything you've logged. This is your living home record — it grows with every entry.

• Tap any entry to view it.
• Started something and didn't finish? It shows Continue — pick up right where you left off and add more.

Need to step away mid-entry? End Session (in your profile) pauses it — nothing is lost, and you can resume it from My History anytime.

7. See the full picture on the web

Your home record isn't trapped in the app. Everything you log also lives at crawlspaceHQ.com — the same record, rendered as a living web document you can open on a computer: browse every entry, sort by what matters, and see your whole home's history in one place. The app is where you capture in the field; crawlspaceHQ is where the record lives and where you review it on a big screen.

Links you share open here too — whoever you send one to (spouse, landlord, contractor) just sees a clean web page. No app, no account required.

What we'd love feedback on

• Was capturing an entry fast and obvious?
• Did the AI analysis get your issue right? Where was it off?
• Did anything confuse you or feel like extra work?
• Anything you expected the app to do that it didn't?

Send notes through TestFlight feedback or straight to the team.

Good to know (beta)

• This is pre-release software — expect rough edges, and don't rely on it as your only record yet.
• crawlspace captures photos, voice notes, and location to build your home's record. Don't capture anything you wouldn't want stored.
• Your entries are tied to you and your property and saved to the cloud.

Thanks for helping shape crawlspace.
