Condition documentation for iPhone

Proof of condition — before and after.

Record a video walkthrough before, another one after, and let AI compare them. CompareAI reports exactly what changed and exports a timestamped, fingerprinted PDF — your evidence when someone claims you caused the damage.

What CompareAI is

A camera, an inspector and a notary — in one app.

You already film the flat before you move out, or the rental car before you drive off. CompareAI turns that habit into structured, dated, verifiable evidence: the footage is organised by area, read by AI, and sealed into a report you can hand to a landlord, a rental desk, an insurer or a client.

Move in, move out, keep your deposit

Walk every room before the keys change hands and again at the end. When a deduction appears on the final statement, you can show what the room actually looked like — and on which date.

Hired vehicles and lent equipment

A guided walk-around of a car, van, boat or machine takes a couple of minutes. Every angle is captured on video with a timestamp, so a scratch that was already there stays already there.

Trades: show the work you did

Switch a project to Showcase work and the AI describes what was completed instead of hunting for damage — cables run, fixtures fitted, surfaces finished — and rates the workmanship for your client-facing report.

How it works

Four steps, two of them are just filming.

A project holds the thing you are documenting. Inside it, each area you film is a scan — and every scan has a Before phase and an After phase.

Create a project

Pick a category — house, apartment, car, laptop, plumbing job, storage unit — name it, and you drop straight into the capture screen.

  • Over 100 categories; star the ones you use so they stay at the top
  • Houses and flats: generate the room list automatically from the property type, levels and room counts
  • Cars: tap each angle on a guided car diagram so no side gets forgotten
  • Purpose: Document condition to find damage, or Showcase work to present a finished job

Record the Before, then the After

Film a steady walkthrough of each area — pan slowly, keep the light good, cover the whole space. Then do the work, or let the rental period run, and film the After with the same scan name so the two pair up.

  • Built-in recorder with lens switching, capped at three minutes per clip
  • No signal? Recordings queue on the device and upload themselves when you are back online
  • Videos go straight to private storage that only your account can open

AI watches both videos

When an upload finishes, the footage is sent to Google Gemini, which watches the entire clip — not a single frame — and compares the After against its matching Before to pinpoint what changed.

  • Looks for new damage, scratches, stains, wear, cracks, leaks and missing items
  • Every finding gets a plain-English description, a location and a severity — minor, moderate or major
  • Showcase projects instead list the work completed and rate it basic, solid or excellent
  • Runs automatically after each upload; tap Analyze to run it again
  • The AI key lives on the server, never in the app

Export the report

One tap turns a project into a PDF: per-area findings, video thumbnails, timestamps and a verification fingerprint. Share it by email, message or AirDrop — every report is kept under Report history to re-open later.

  • Each video carries its own SHA-256 hash, so an edited file no longer matches the report
  • The report's own hash is recorded server-side when it is generated
  • Insights charts summarise scans, findings and severity across all your projects

Features

Everything in the app

Built for the moment someone disputes what you left behind.

Video, not photos

A photo shows one angle at one moment. A walkthrough shows the whole room, continuously — far harder to argue with, and far harder to stage.

Automatic before/after pairing

An After scan is matched to the Before scan with the same name, so the AI reports what changed rather than just describing the footage.

Findings with severity

Each issue comes back as a description, a location and a minor / moderate / major rating, plus a short overall summary per area.

Room generator

Tell the app the property type, how many levels and how many bedrooms and bathrooms — it creates the scan list for you, ready to film.

Guided car capture

Tap the front, rear, sides and wheels on a car diagram; each hotspot becomes its own scan so the walk-around is complete and consistent.

Tamper-evident PDF reports

Findings, thumbnails, timestamps, a per-video fingerprint and a report hash — in a document you can send to anyone.

Report history

Every export is stored against the project, so you can re-open or re-share the exact document you sent months ago.

Offline capture

Basements, car parks, building sites. Film anyway — the queue survives a restart and uploads the moment there is signal again.

Insights

Charts across all projects: scans by status, findings by severity, and what is still waiting to be captured or analysed.

Evidence you can defend

A report that proves it hasn't been edited.

Anyone can take a screenshot and crop it. CompareAI is built so the document you hand over can be checked rather than trusted.

  • Per-video SHA-256. Each recording is fingerprinted on upload; change one frame and the fingerprint no longer matches the report.
  • Report hash. The PDF covers every scan, finding and video hash, and its own hash is recorded server-side the moment it is generated.
  • Timestamps throughout. Capture dates on every scan, generation date on every report.
  • Private by default. Videos live in a private bucket in a per-account folder; row-level security means only the owner can read them.
  • Keys stay server-side. Analysis runs in a backend function — the AI key never ships inside the app.
  • Your data, deletable. Delete your account from inside the app and the videos, scans and reports go with it.

Who it's for

Anywhere condition is disputed later

Tenants & landlords

Move-in and move-out walkthroughs that settle deposit deductions before they become an argument.

Short-term hosts

Document the place between guests, so a claim is backed by footage from the right date.

Vehicle hire & car sharing

A guided walk-around before you drive off, and another when you hand the keys back.

Tradespeople

Prove the state of a site before you started, and showcase the finished work to the client.

Movers & shippers

Record furniture, instruments or machinery before transit and on arrival.

Insurance claims

A dated, structured record of what an item or property looked like before the loss.

Valuables & equipment

Watches, artwork, cameras, tools — anything you lend out or store somewhere else.

Inventory & inspections

Routine checks of offices, storage units, warehouses and fleets, filed and searchable.

FAQ

Questions worth asking

Why video instead of photos?

A photo proves one angle at one instant, and a dispute usually turns on the corner nobody photographed. A continuous walkthrough covers the whole space, shows the context around each mark, and is much harder to pass off as taken on a different day. It is the main thing that sets CompareAI apart from photo-based condition apps.

How does the app know what changed?

Each area you film is a named scan with a Before phase and an After phase. When you record an After, it is paired with the Before of the same name in that project, and both videos go to the AI together — so the result is a comparison, not a description. If a project has several Before scans, the app asks which area the new footage belongs to rather than guessing.

Is the AI always right?

No. It is an assistant, not an adjudicator: it reads the footage and drafts the findings so you do not have to write them up, and you should review them before sending a report. The evidence that carries weight is the timestamped video itself — the AI makes it legible.

What makes a report tamper-proof?

Every video is fingerprinted with SHA-256 when it uploads, and the exported PDF contains a hash covering all of the documented data — scans, findings and each video's fingerprint. That hash is also recorded on the server when the report is generated, so a PDF someone has edited will not match the record.

It is tamper-evident rather than magic: it does not stop anyone altering a file, it makes the alteration provable.

Who can see my videos?

Your footage is stored in a private bucket, inside a folder tied to your account, protected by row-level security — nobody else's account can read it, and the files are never public. Videos are sent to Google Gemini solely to produce the analysis for the scan you asked about. Full detail is in the Privacy Policy.

How long is footage kept?

Free accounts keep videos for 30 days; Pro keeps them for 12 months. The app shows the expiry date on each scan and a storage summary in your profile. Exported PDFs are not pruned on that schedule, so export a report before the window closes if the evidence still matters.

Does it work without a connection?

Capture does. Recordings are copied to a queue on the device and uploaded automatically once you are back online — the home screen shows anything still pending. AI analysis needs a connection, and runs as soon as the upload completes.

Can I delete my account and data?

Yes, from inside the app. Deletion removes your stored videos and reports along with the account. If you have a subscription, cancel it separately in your app store settings — deleting the account does not stop the billing.

Is there an Android version?

CompareAI is built for iPhone first. The Google Play link on this page goes live when the Android version ships.

Film it before. Prove it after.

Set up a project in under a minute, and have documented evidence of condition the next time someone disputes it.

CompareAI is in final testing. The store links go live at release — the iPhone version ships first, Android follows.
