Property Handovers & Inspections Made Clear with SceneBox
Property Handovers & Inspections Made Clear with SceneBox
Whether you're a landlord doing a move-in inspection, a tenant documenting the condition before moving out, or a property manager conducting routine inspections — having clear, organized evidence makes everything easier.
SceneBox helps you capture and organize all the details in one place, then turn them into a structured report anyone can understand.
🏠 Document the Condition Before and After
Move-in and move-out inspections are where disputes often happen. A wall scuff here, a carpet stain there — without clear documentation, it's one person's word against another's.
With SceneBox, you can:
- Walk through each room and take photos, video, and notes in a single collection
- Annotate photos with arrows and labels pointing to existing damage
- Record audio notes describing the condition while you walk through
- Mark the location of each room or area
Everything stays organized by collection. If you do a move-in inspection and a move-out inspection, you have both records for comparison.
🖊️ Pinpoint Issues with Annotations
A photo of a scratched floor is useful. A photo with an arrow pointing to the exact scratch, along with a text label saying "2-inch scratch, 3 feet from the door" — that's conclusive.
SceneBox's annotation tools let you:
- Add arrows and shapes to highlight specific problem areas
- Write text labels that describe the issue
- Move, resize, and rotate annotations for precise placement
- Change annotation colors to differentiate types of issues
- The original photo is preserved underneath all annotations
This level of detail is invaluable when residents, property managers, or insurance adjusters review the documentation.
🎥 Capture Walkthrough Videos with Key Moments
Sometimes a video walkthrough tells the story better than any photo. SceneBox lets you record walkthroughs and mark important moments as you go.
- Tap to add an event at the exact moment you notice something
- Add a text note describing what's visible at that point
- Jump back to each marked moment instantly during review
The recipient can focus on the critical parts of the video instead of watching the entire walkthrough.
📍 Pin Locations to Each Observation
For multi-unit buildings, large properties, or facilities with multiple areas, SceneBox attaches location data to each observation. When you review the report, you can see exactly where each photo, note, or recording was made.
📄 Reports That Anyone Can Open
Once your inspection is complete, SceneBox generates a structured report in your choice of format:
- EPUB 3 — Works with Apple Books and standard EPUB readers. Audio and video are embedded. An open-source web reader is available at https://yjyinfo.github.io/scenebox-reader/.
- PDF — Universal format for printing and archiving
Both formats maintain a fixed page layout, so the report reads consistently across devices.
📤 Instant Sharing via iOS Share Sheet
Share the completed report directly from SceneBox using the iOS share sheet:
- Send to the tenant or landlord via email
- Share with the property management team
- Save to Files for your records
- AirDrop to a nearby device
No need for the recipient to install any special software.
🌐 Works Anywhere, Even Without Internet
Properties under construction, basements, underground parking — these areas often have poor connectivity. SceneBox works completely offline. There's no account to create, no login required. You can start documenting the moment you walk through the door.
