Basement build-out. No cell service. Your app? Useless. Can't check tasks, add photos, or update status until you're above ground. Most construction software breaks the moment you lose signal.
FORMA was built for exactly that.
Why Most Apps Fail in the Field
Most software was designed by people in offices. They assume WiFi. They assume you'll sync later. They assume you can "catch up" at your desk.
You're in basements, rooftops, rural sites 30 minutes from the nearest tower. Software that needs internet won't help when you need it.
FORMA works 100% offline. Every feature. Data lives on your device. Sync later if you want—you don't have to.
100% Offline
Not "limited offline mode." Full functionality. Take a photo with no signal—saved. Log an expense in rural Montana—recorded. Add a task on sketchy WiFi—done. No syncing. No lost data.
Photo Documentation
Your phone camera is always with you. Take project photos, mark them up with the canvas tool, organize by job. Circle problems, add measurements—on the photo. Smart compression saves up to 90% storage when you're taking 50+ photos per project.
Time Tracking Built In
Clock in/out by employee and project. Track hours, see labor costs in real time. Know where your labor budget goes before it's gone.
Features That Matter
- Project dashboard—all jobs in one view, organized by status
- Tasks—what's due today, no calendar digging
- Job costing & invoicing—expenses, profit per project, invoices from your phone
- Canvas markup—draw on photos, circle issues, show your crew what you mean
- Labor tracking—hours by employee and project
- Offline everything—all features work without internet
Who It's For
Contractors who work in the field: general contractors, specialty trades (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, remodeling, landscaping), small crews, solo operators.
Not for 500-person commercial GCs with dedicated PMs who never leave the trailer. That's a different product.
"The best app is the one that works where you work. For most contractors, that's job sites without WiFi."
Cloud Sync—Optional
Works 100% offline by default. Optional Cloud Premium ($14.99/month) adds sync across devices, backup, and team access. See plans.
