Project details vanish
Measurements, model numbers, breaker labels, paint colors, and follow-up tasks get separated from the photo that made them matter.
Photo + voice field notes
Photos forget the details. PhotoVox remembers them.
Snap a photo, say what matters, and keep searchable project notes you can export or back up later. Built for jobsites, inspections, repairs, walkthroughs, and the moments where a plain photo is not enough.
Runs as an installable PWA at app.photovox.app for modern iPhone, Android, and desktop browsers.
- Capture first
- Start a new text note, photo note, or voice note without building a big job record.
- Local-first
- Notes start on your device. Signing in does not automatically upload them.
- Portable
- Manual ZIP backup/export/import is the current transfer and safety path.
The camera-roll problem
A photo without context becomes a future mystery.
Camera rolls are great at saving images. They are terrible at remembering what you were standing there trying to explain. PhotoVox adds the spoken and typed context while the detail is still fresh.
Walkthroughs need narration
A property or field photo rarely captures smell, urgency, owner, severity, or the next step. A short voice note can.
Meetings move too fast
Whiteboards and slide photos are easy to capture, but decisions, names, and deadlines need to be attached before everyone walks away.
How it works
Photo, voice, search, and export. One topic at a time.
Create a topic
Start a topic for a project, room, client visit, repair, trip, or meeting.
Choose the fastest note
Use New text note, New photo note, or New voice note depending on what the job needs.
Say what matters
Record the explanation while you are still looking at the thing you need to remember.
Find and export it later
Search typed notes and, when transcription is enabled, editable transcript text. Export readable reports or ZIP backups when needed.
Install PhotoVox
Open the PWA, then add it to your phone.
PhotoVox runs as an installable Progressive Web App at app.photovox.app. Installing gives you a home-screen icon; it does not turn on cloud backup or sync.
iPhone and iPad
Open PhotoVox in Safari, tap Share, then choose Add to Home Screen.
Android
Open PhotoVox in Chrome, then tap Install or Add to Home screen when available.
Before switching devices
Export a backup ZIP first. Manual backup/export remains the current way to transfer notes.
Use cases
For field work where a photo needs a memory.
PhotoVox fits the space between a messy camera roll and a full field-service system: fast enough for the site, structured enough to find later.
Field notes and punch lists
Capture the fix while you are still on site.
Contractors, inspectors, property managers, repair techs, maintenance teams, field workers, and homeowners can photograph the issue, say what needs to happen, and keep the follow-up attached to the exact topic instead of buried in a camera roll.
See job-site example
Home repair
Save appliance labels, filter sizes, paint codes, serial plates, before/after photos, and the spoken details that make them useful.
Property notes
Document room conditions, repair notes, inspection context, tenant concerns, and property walkthrough observations in one topic.
Project memory
Pair jobsite photos, walkthrough notes, or whiteboard photos with owners, decisions, deadlines, and follow-up notes while the context is still clear.
Trust and data portability
Designed around local-first notes and practical backups.
PhotoVox keeps the marketing website and app separate, and backup/export/import stays part of the trust story for your notes and media.
Local-first by default
Topics, bullets, photos, audio, and transcript text start in browser storage by default. Signing in does not automatically upload, download, merge, delete, or sync notes. Clearing site data can remove local app data, so backups matter.
Backups protect the work
Export/import backups are the current manual ZIP transfer path for protecting user-created notes, media, transcripts, and related local data. They are separate from cloud sync.
Transcription with clear consent
When transcription is configured and enabled, recordings can become editable, searchable text. If cloud/API transcription is used, PhotoVox asks for consent before audio leaves your device for processing.
Website and app stay separate
This public website lives at www.photovox.app. The installable app opens separately at app.photovox.app. Sync, billing, ads, admin dashboards, and native app store releases are not live.
