Getting Started
What PadInspector is, how to get access during the beta, and how your first inspection flows from the app to a shareable report.
How PadInspector fits together
Three parts, one account
PadInspector is a voice-first home inspection system. You inspect on the iOS app while talking and taking photos, and the AI drafts your report in real time. You review, tweak, and share the finished report from the web portal.
- The iOS app (iPad & iPhone) — where you actually run the inspection. Walk the property, speak your findings, snap photos. This is where voice capture, checklists, and offline work happen.
- The Apple Watch companion — a wrist remote for the app: start and stop recording, switch areas, and feel a tap when the AI logs a problem, all without pulling out your phone.
- The web portal — where you manage inspections, review and edit AI-drafted reports, publish and share reports with clients, manage your team, and handle billing.
Everything you capture on the app syncs to the web portal automatically, so you can start on the iPad in the field and finish on your laptop at the office.
The inspection workflow at a glance
- 1Arrive & start. Create the inspection, confirm the address, and the app sets up your areas, checklists, and code books.
- 2Walk & talk. Move through the property speaking your findings and snapping photos. The AI transcribes, categorizes, and drafts report language live.
- 3Quick review. Your report is already drafted. Do a short review on the app or in the web portal and adjust anything you want.
- 4Send & go. Publish the report and share a link with your client — an interactive report with photos and code references.

Your first steps
Requesting access & invites
PadInspector is invite-only during the beta program. There are two ways to get in:
- Request an invite
- Go to the Request Invite page, choose whether you are an individual inspector or a team/company, and enter your details. When your invite is approved you will receive an email with a link to create your account.
- Get invited to a team
- If someone at your company already uses PadInspector, an owner, admin, or manager can invite you from Settings → Team. Opening your invitation link lets you set a password and join their organization.
Creating your account
- 1Open the invitation link from your email. The link is unique to you and confirms your email address automatically.
- 2Enter your name and, for individual/company accounts, your company name. Your email is pre-filled and cannot be changed here.
- 3Choose a password and confirm it. Passwords need at least 8 characters, including an uppercase letter, a lowercase letter, and a number; very common passwords are rejected.
- 4Submit the form. Team invitations drop you straight into the shared organization; individual accounts create a new company owned by you.
Signing in
Sign in with the same email and password on both the iOS app and the web portal.
- Web portal: open the site and choose Log in, then enter your email and password.
- iOS app: open PadInspector and enter your email and password on the login screen. Your session is stored securely on the device so you stay signed in between inspections.
- Forgot your password? Use the "Forgot password?" link on the web login screen. You will get a reset email; the link is valid for one hour.
