If your question isn't here, the answer is probably "yes, that's fine" or "yes, that works." But ask anyway — feedback is how we make this less terrible.
It means that photo is missing one or more required details — usually the title, room, dimensions, description, or severity. Tap the red dot to see exactly which fields are missing for that photo. The dot stops pulsing as soon as you fill them in.
On phones, ProofWolf auto-rotates landscape shots to fill the portrait screen — so the image actually gets bigger, not smaller. If a specific photo rotates the wrong direction, tap the round ⟳ button at the top of the markup screen to rotate it 90° more. Each tap rotates further. On desktop, photos are never auto-rotated.
Open a photo by tapping it. The toolbar at the top has Arrow, Circle, Box, Draw (freehand), and Text tools. Pick one, then drag on the image. Tap a different tool to switch. The Pan tool lets you scroll around when you're zoomed in without accidentally drawing.
Pick the Text tool from the toolbar, then tap where you want the label. A dialog opens — type the text and confirm. The label drops onto the photo where you tapped. You can drag it to reposition before saving.
On a phone, pinch with two fingers like any other photo app. On a desktop, hold Ctrl (or Cmd on Mac) and scroll the mouse wheel — or use the +/-/100% buttons in the corner.
Below the toolbar there are five color swatches. Tap one to pick that color for the next thing you draw. Existing markup keeps its original color — color choice applies to new shapes only.
Tap the photo's markup once to select it, then tap Delete in the toolbar — or use the Undo arrow at the top of the toolbar to remove your last action.
In the photo's details sheet, the description field has a small microphone icon. Tap it — your phone will ask for microphone permission the first time. Talk normally; the text fills in as you speak. Tap the mic again to stop. (Requires Chrome, Safari, or Edge — Firefox doesn't support voice input.)
Tap "Settings" in the top navigation. Scroll to the Company Logo section and upload any image (JPG, PNG, anything). It auto-resizes. Once set, every PDF you generate will use it on the cover. Update it anytime — only takes a second.
Two ways. Auto-save: as you work, a draft saves automatically — even if you refresh the page, your in-progress work comes back. Manual save: tap "Projects" in the top nav, then "Save current project" — this creates a permanent saved copy you can reopen later.
Tap the "New" button in the top navigation. If you have unsaved work, it'll ask before clearing. Once you confirm, the form resets and you're ready to start a fresh inspection.
Once you've added your photos and filled in their details, scroll to the bottom of the main screen and tap "Generate PDF." It builds the report (cover page + one page per photo). On mobile, the share sheet opens automatically. On desktop, the PDF downloads.
Each photo row has up and down arrow buttons in its top-right corner. Tap them to move that photo up or down in the report order. (Drag-to-reorder is on the way.)
Each photo row has an X button in its top-right corner. Tap it to remove that photo. "Clear all" removes every photo in the active project at once.
Open the Projects panel from the top navigation. Each saved project has an "Export" button — tap it to download a `.claims` backup file. Keep it in your cloud drive or email it to yourself. To restore, use the "Import" button on the same panel.
Yes. Open it, use it. No payment, no account, no email. The whole tool is here for you to use as much as you want.
No. There's no signup, no login, no email required. Open the app and start documenting. We don't even have a user table — there's literally nowhere for an account to live.
On your device. ProofWolf runs entirely in your browser using IndexedDB (the browser's local database). Nothing uploads to a server. We can't see your data because there's no server for it to land on.
Mostly yes. Once the page has loaded, the markup canvas, PDF generation, and saved projects all work offline. The exception is the very first visit — that needs internet to load the app. (A proper service worker for full offline-first behavior is on the roadmap.)
Yes. iOS Safari 14 and up. The native iOS share sheet works, so you can send the finished PDF through Messages, Mail, AirDrop, or anything else your phone shares to.
Yes. Chrome on Android 90+ works fully. Same share-sheet behavior, same camera integration, same offline-capable browser app.
Yes. Open the app in Chrome or Safari, tap the share or menu button, and pick "Add to Home Screen." It opens fullscreen with no browser chrome. (The PWA manifest + icon polish is still being finished, so this will improve.)
Your saved projects get wiped along with everything else. That's why we built the Export feature — anytime you finish a job, you can download a `.claims` backup file and re-import it later or on another device. We recommend exporting after every big inspection until you trust the local storage.
Yes. Export the project as a `.claims` file on the first device, then open ProofWolf on the second device and import it. The PDF, the photos, the markup — everything comes across.
No. ProofWolf is a tool, not a model. We don't auto-describe photos, we don't auto-classify damage, we don't send anything to an AI service. You write the descriptions (or dictate them with your phone's built-in voice-to-text). That keeps the report honest, defensible, and private.
Those tools are great but they're built for teams and they have monthly per-seat fees ($20–$30/user/month) plus a cloud database holding all your photos. ProofWolf is built for solo contractors and adjusters who want a fast PDF report tool without the cloud, the team features, or the bill. Different tradeoffs.
Yes. Anything that needs a photo report works: pre/post renovation, rental walkthroughs, asbestos checks, equipment audits, accident scenes. The "loss type" presets are claim-focused but you can pick "Other" and type your own.
Practically: 50–100 photos per project is fine on a modern phone. Past that, the PDF generation slows down and saved projects use more storage. If you regularly do massive jobs, split them into multiple claims.
The browser's microphone API needs HTTPS and works best in Chrome, Safari, and Edge. Firefox doesn't support it. If you're on a phone, the first time you tap the mic button, your phone will ask for microphone permission — you have to allow it.
