Hey Product Hunt ๐
I built DepositCam after hearing the same story over and over: renter moves out, landlord invents "damage," deposit gone. The renter usually has photos โ but they're scattered across a camera roll, undated in any provable way, and impossible to organize into something a landlord or small-claims judge takes seriously.
DepositCam fixes the whole chain:
๐ธ Guided walkthrough โ it walks you room by room (with a checklist of what to shoot: walls, floors, ceilings, fixtures, existing damage) so you don't miss anything.
๐ Evidence-grade photos โ date, time, and GPS coordinates are burned into the image pixels at capture, not just stored as metadata someone can dispute.
๐ One-tap PDF โ a clean, organized condition report with a cover page and every photo labeled, ready to email your landlord or bring to court.
๐ Private by default โ no account, no cloud. Everything stays on your device.
It's free to document your entire place. Exporting the PDF report is a one-time $4.99 โ cheaper than losing any fraction of your deposit.
It's a PWA, so it works on any phone from the browser โ no app store, no install. Try it at depositcam.com.
I'd genuinely love feedback, especially from anyone who's fought (or lost) a deposit dispute: what evidence would have saved you?

How does the PDF export handle disputes if the landlord claims the photos could have been edited before being uploaded to the report?

@beyzanur7jzwย Photos can't be edited before they hit the report โ the app opens the camera directly, and the timestamp + GPS are burned into the image the moment it's taken. There's no upload/edit step in between.
Best practical defense: email the report to your landlord the day you move in. Their inbox timestamp proves the photos existed on day one โ hard to argue with. The app now prompts you to do exactly that after export.
And full honesty: cryptographic proof-of-capture (hash anchoring via OpenTimestamps) is top of the roadmap.

The room-by-room flow makes it almost impossible to forget a spot, and having the GPS and timestamp baked right into each photo is genuinely clever. Wish I'd had this during my last move-out fight.

@uleadalmoklmย Thank you! That's exactly the pain that inspired it. The "fight" almost always comes down to whose word counts, so the whole app is built around making the evidence speak for itself: the checklist so nothing gets missed, and the stamp burned into the pixels so nobody can claim it was taken some other day or place.
Sorry it arrived one move too late for you. Hopefully your next move-out is boring in the best way. If you think of anything the walk through should also cover, I'd love to hear it.

Finally tried this after my last move-out and wish I had it sooner. The date and GPS stamp baked into each photo is exactly what makes it useful when landlords try to dispute damage.
