The idea
Photos are quick to take. The documentation isn't.
Anyone recording progress, conditions or work collects photos in the gallery – and then laboriously copies them into a document. Pictolog cuts that down to three steps, right on the phone.
Because photos are often sensitive, one thing was clear from the start: everything stays local on the device. No account, no cloud, and it works without a connection.
