CantiereCam

Sound familiar?

๐Ÿ“ฑ

Site photos end up in the phone's memory, lost among family pictures. A month later, finding them is a job in itself.

๐ŸŒ™

The site diary gets written in the evening, from memory, when the day is already over.

๐Ÿงพ

Delivery notes stay in the van. At the end of the month the supplier accounts don't add up.

โš–๏ธ

"When did you take that photo? Where?" At the first dispute you need proof, not a memory.

What CantiereCam does

Designed by a site engineer for people on site: few taps, readable in the sun.

๐Ÿ“ท

Stamped photos

Company, site, date, time, coordinates, altitude and direction printed on the photo. Every photo lands in the right folder by itself: project โ†’ site โ†’ day.

โœ๏ธ

Drawings on photos

Fast handwriting with finger or pen, arrows, dimensions, measurements, site lines and utilities. The original stays untouched; the annotated copy goes into the diary.

๐Ÿ“‹

Site diary

Weather, workers and machines with hours, work done, remarks, voice notes. As PDF or Word with your logo, in one tap.

๐Ÿ”Ž

Delivery notes and invoices read for you

Photograph the document: the app recognises supplier, number and date, reads the lines and builds the Excel list for accounting.

๐Ÿ—„

An archive that stays tidy

Gallery by site and day, documents by type and supplier, quick tags, search.

๐Ÿ—’

Notes and reminders

Things to order, defects, meetings with the site manager: with photos, dictation and an alert at the right time.

๐Ÿ”

Photos that hold up as evidence

Every shot gets a fingerprint (SHA-256) and a chained log: you can prove the photo has not been altered.

โ˜๏ธ

On your own Google Drive

Everything copies itself to your Drive with the same folder structure. Several phones, one archive for the company.

๐Ÿ—’ Site notes, new in November

Colours by importance, notes grouped by day, sharing as text or PDF.

What's new in October

CantiereCam grows every week with what the technicians testing it ask for. Here are the latest additions.

๐Ÿ“„ Documents, like a scanner

Deed, contract, bill, medical report: scan the pages, the app reads the text and suggests a name, you pick the folder. You get a searchable PDF, kept apart from the sites and copied to Drive. No separate scanner app needed.

๐Ÿชช ID card on one page

Front and back of identity card, driving licence, tax code card or DNI side by side on an A4, life-size: printed, it looks like a copy-shop photocopy. Up to 4 cards per page.

๐Ÿ”ฃ 90 technical symbols on photos

Solar PV and its defects, electrical, plumbing and gas, security with cameras and their field of view, roads, water mains, sewers, building. They rotate, number themselves and take your own code.

๐Ÿ—บ Photos on the map

Site photos become points with the shooting direction: KMZ for Google Earth, GeoJSON with a ready style for QGIS and ArcGIS, CSV with UTM coordinates.

Plus: document folders grouped by type (Identity, Car, Home and billsโ€ฆ) and fully customisable, and a notice when an update is available.

From paper to Excel, on its own

The list of materials delivered to site without copying anything by hand: photograph the delivery note or invoice and CantiereCam does the rest, on the phone, even offline.

The photographed delivery note
1
Photograph the document

In Document mode, or with the scanner that straightens the page.

2
The app reads it

It recognises supplier, number and date, then reads the lines: code, description, unit, quantity, prices and discounts.

3
Check and tick

A tick for every material delivered, a note if something is missing. You always decide.

4
The Excel list is ready

One sheet for delivery notes, one for invoices, one row per material, with real dates and numbers and filters already on.

โœ… The app read
SupplierMateriali Edili Esempio S.r.l.
Document no.DT26-0004512
Date14/10/2026
Lines5 materials
The Excel list the app builds on its own (delivery notes sheet)
Invoice sheet: prices, discounts and amounts

Example with made-up documents and suppliers. File: Documenti/lista_documenti.xlsx in the site folder, also copied to Drive.

Write and draw on the photo, the site way

With your finger or the tablet pen you write as fast as on paper. And with site lines you mark pipes, cables and demolitions: no other app has them.

Example on a test photo: the automatic legend is top right.
Example on a test photo: the automatic legend is top right.
โœ๏ธ
Write fast

The stroke starts at once, dots and accents stay, one tap undoes a whole word. With the pen, a resting palm does not write.

๐Ÿšฐ
Utilities

Water, gas, sewer, electric and telecom, with the letter along the line and the colour of the warning tapes.

ใ€ฐ
Site lines

Dashed, dash-dot, โœ• to demolish, โ˜ revision cloud and โ–จ hatched area, just like on drawings.

๐Ÿ–
Highlighter and eraser

Three widths, one tap to choose. Hold your finger still for half a second and the line becomes straight.

๐Ÿ“‹
Automatic legend

It writes itself in the free corner of the photo, only with the lines you used.

The original stays untouched: drawings go into a copy, with its own fingerprint as evidence.

The site diary, the way you want it

From the daily diary, a PDF or Word file ready to sign: your logo, site details, workers and machines with hours, then the photos. You choose how many per page.

On Google Drive, already organised

Each phone uploads to its own folder, with the same structure you see in the app. The office opens Drive and finds everything without asking anyone.

Phone and tablet, always in sync

Shoot with the phone on site, pick up on the tablet in the office or in the van. With the same Google account the devices talk to each other on their own, through your Drive.

๐Ÿ“ฑ โ‡„ โ˜๏ธ Google Drive โ‡„ ๐Ÿ“ฒ
Phone
Tablet
๐Ÿ— Same projects and sites

Create a site on the phone and find it on the tablet, with its folders.

๐Ÿ—’ Shared notes

Something to order written on the tablet shows up on the phone too; the latest change always wins.

โš™๏ธ Same settings and tags

Stamp, logo, quick tags: set them once and they apply to every device.

๐Ÿ“Š What the others have

In every site you see how many photos and documents each device has taken.

Each device uploads to its own folder: no duplicates, no overwritten files. It also works for a team with several phones.

๐Ÿ”’ Your data stays yours

Site photos, delivery notes, contracts and notes concern clients, companies and people. Before adding features, CantiereCam takes care of bugs, security and privacy.

๐Ÿ™ˆ

Photos stay out of the gallery

They only show inside CantiereCam, not next to your family pictures.

๐Ÿ”’

Hidden notes need fingerprint or PIN

They open only after unlocking the phone, from anywhere in the app, and they don't end up in the Diary or the CSVs.

๐Ÿ“ฑ

On your phone and your Google Drive

Photos and documents never go through my servers. No advertising ID, statistics can be switched off.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

Security review of the code

The code has been checked for weak spots and the ones found are already fixed.

๐Ÿงช

Every version tested before release

On phone, tablet and emulator with made-up data, plus automated tests.

๐Ÿž

Found a problem? Report it from the app

Settings โ†’ About โ†’ Send log: a small file with what the app did, without photos, notes or documents.

Hidden notes are hidden from view but not encrypted: for passwords and very sensitive data use an app made for that. Read the privacy policy

Why it's different

๐Ÿ™ˆ

Photos stay out of the phone's gallery

They only show in the CantiereCam gallery: no work photos mixed with family ones, no building site popping up when you show someone your pictures.

๐Ÿคš

One hand, few taps

Made for people whose hands are busy on site: shoot, save and get back to work in a few taps.

๐Ÿ“ถ

Works offline

In tunnels, in the countryside, in basements: shoot and save anyway; Drive catches up when the signal is back.

๐Ÿ”

Your data stays yours

No servers of ours, no account to create: your phone and your Drive, that's it.

๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ”ง

No AI deciding for you

You decide what a photo is and where it goes. The app takes away the boring work, not the control.

Who it's for

๐Ÿ—

Building contractors

Site managers and workers document every day; the office finds everything on Drive.

๐Ÿ“

Engineering firms and site supervision

Inspections, reports, photos with dimensions and proof of date.

โšก

Installers

Electricians, plumbers, HVAC: photos before closing the walls, material delivery notes.

๐Ÿ›ก

Security and maintenance

Patrol rounds, reports with photos and location, issue reports.

๐Ÿฅพ

Outdoor lovers and anyone who needs it

Mountains, trekking, hiking, field surveys, home projects: photos with date, coordinates, altitude and direction, on the Google Earth map, even offline.
