Plotava

Turn photos, notes and PDFs into documents people can follow.

No sign-up. No ads in the app. One binder at a time is free.

Weekend home notes: a real Plotava PDF with a photo, household details and a checklist.
A finished document, exported by Plotava.

FROM SCATTERED DETAILS TO A USEFUL DOCUMENT

Create it where the information is.

A setup worth explaining. A room worth documenting. A job that needs a clear handoff. Start with a Report, photos or an existing PDF, not a blank desktop later.

  • Write your own pages. Photos, headings, numbered steps and checklists.
  • Keep the context. Connect supporting detail to a place on a page or image.
  • Choose the output. Just your pages, or a Binder with linked supporting detail.

WHAT WILL YOU MAKE?

A document with a job to do.

Actual Plotava exports with fictional example content. The household illustration is AI-generated input, not a customer photo. These are examples to inspect, not additional bundled templates.

IN THE APP

Create. Bring together. Connect.

A Binder keeps your own Reports and imported material together. Points add supporting detail when you need it; they are optional for a simple document.

01

Build the explanation

Start from a template or Blank Report. Add photos, steps, checklists and your own words.

The current Plotava Report editor with an illustrated guide and editable blocks.
02

Keep detail in context

Attach photos and files to a Point. Mark up the important part so the next person can find it.

PLOTAVA PRO

Keep multiple Binders

Monthly or annual

Keep unlimited Binders on this device. Current price and renewal terms are shown in your store before purchase. Pro does not add automatic cloud sync.

Before deleting a Binder you may want to edit again, save a Binder Backup. A PDF is a sharing copy, not an editable backup. Manage an optional auto-renewing subscription in your store account.

BEFORE YOU START

A few useful distinctions.

Do I need a construction plan?

No. Start a Blank Report or a template such as Work Instructions, Photo Log or Meeting Notes. A plan is one possible source, not a requirement.

Can I edit the text inside an existing PDF?

Plotava lets you author Report text and mark up imported pages. It does not edit the original text in an imported PDF, perform OCR, convert Word documents or create fillable forms.

Does every export preserve the links?

Complete Binder keeps navigation between source pages and connected detail. Pages Only exports just the pages without navigation links. Recordings are separate files when shared alongside the PDF in a ZIP; audio and video are not playable inside the PDF.

Where do my documents live?

On your device, unless you choose to share or back them up. Plotava has no account, in-app ads or silent product analytics. There is no automatic Plotava cloud sync. Optional imagery, address search and purchases need a connection.

Can I make another free Binder after finishing one?

Yes. Export the finished PDF, save an editable Binder Backup if needed, then delete the Binder from the app to start the next. The free offer is one at a time, not one in your lifetime.

ONE USE CASE: PLAN-LINKED EVIDENCE

See a field walk become a linked PDF.

This earlier iPhone recording shows the original plan-to-photo workflow. Screens and labels have changed since recording; the current version also creates Reports without a plan.

Earlier iPhone version. Select play or a chapter to watch.

STEP 1 OF 6

Import a PDF plan.

Start from the plan your team already uses. Plotava preserves the original and makes the plan the index for the field walk.
