InspectDesk is an iPhone and iPad app for home inspectors to record findings and photos, create PDF reports, and send them to clients. It works offline for inspections, report generation, and report sharing. Inspectors can make templates from sections and items, then use severity levels and tags to organize findings. Reports can include photos, annotations, and severity badges. The app also supports scheduling and displays completed inspections, scheduled jobs, and revenue metrics. Its Free plan allows one full inspection and one custom template. The Lifetime plan costs $79.99 as a one-time purchase and provides unlimited inspections, templates, and backup import and export, plus future updates. The App Store listing requires iOS 18.0 or later on iPhone and iPadOS 18.0 or later on iPad. Inspection information is stored locally; the maker says it does not collect or transmit it. Anonymous technical data may be collected through Apple analytics, depending on device settings. ISN integrations, automated emails, and multi-inspector firm features are under development.
