Talk. Capture.

What if you'd talked into Guardian instead?
Same phone call. Same truck. But this time, you tap Record and talk for 30 seconds. Guardian captures the scope change, flags the unconfirmed direction, and sends a crew brief to Riverside before you even park at Job A. The crew reads it, taps “Got It,” and frames it right the first time.

Trades: Framing, Plumbing
Everything you need, nothing you don't

Voice-First Capture
Record memos, narrate videos, or dictate from the truck. Whisper transcription handles noise, accents, and construction jargon.

Daily Logs
Automated site diaries pulling from briefs, timesheets, weather, field reports, and crew acknowledgments. Industry-standard format.
Accountability Loop
Assign tasks from unconfirmed items. Crew gets SMS. They acknowledge, complete, or ask questions. You're notified at every step.

Live dashboard for homeowners — progress timeline, photo grid, change order approvals. Professional transparency, zero extra work.

Where it all goes
Every voice memo, photo, and acknowledgment flows into one workspace — organized, searchable, exportable
Capture first. Not data entry first.
Big platforms are powerful — once someone types the data in. Guardian solves the upstream problem.

Not another app your crew won't use
What contractors ask us
No. Crew briefs are delivered by SMS. Your crew taps a link in their text message and sees their brief in the browser — filtered to their trade. They tap "Got It" to acknowledge. No app, no account, no training. Works on any phone that receives texts.
Guardian is free during the pilot program. No credit card, no contracts. We're working with founding teams to build the right product before setting pricing. Founding teams will lock in early pricing — plans announced Q2 2026.
You own your data completely. Export everything — daily logs, crew briefs, timesheets, photos, and RFIs — as PDF, Word, CSV, or JSON anytime from the Export Center. Your data is stored securely and is never shared with anyone.
Procore and Buildertrend are powerful once someone types the data in. Guardian solves the upstream problem — getting information captured in the first place. You talk and take photos like you already do. Guardian turns that into structured documentation, delivers it to your crew by SMS, and tracks accountability. No data entry.
You need a cell connection to record and send (phone data is fine — no Wi-Fi required). Crew briefs arrive by SMS, so your crew can read and acknowledge on cell signal alone. You can also save Guardian to your phone’s home screen for quick access — it works like a regular app, no App Store needed.
About two minutes. Sign up, create your first job, add your crew’s phone numbers, and record a voice memo. That’s it. There’s an onboarding walkthrough that shows you everything. Most PMs send their first crew brief on day one.
