Built in the field, not in an office.

Every measure.
Documented.

RateCaddy is a field documentation app for energy raters. Open a project, tap the camera on a measure, and the photo is already named, sorted, and counted. Blower door and duct leakage math, the ENERGY STAR Rater Field Checklist, scheduling, and PDF reports live in the same app. All of it works with no signal.

No accountsNothing to sign up for and no server. Your photos stay on your device until you export them.
Named on the way inEvery photo is labeled by project, stage and measure the moment you take it. Nothing to sort at night.
Made by a raterBuilt by a certified energy rater during real inspections in Michigan, for the way the job actually goes.

Three steps. That is the whole workflow.

RateCaddy replaces the camera roll, the notes app, and the folder of renamed JPEGs with one screen per stage.

1

Open the stage

A rating project has two stages, Pre-Drywall and Final Inspection. Each is a wall of tiles, one per measure, in the order you walk the house. Your own lists can have one visit or two, named by you.

2

Tap the blue camera

Shoot from the tile. The photo lands on that measure with a count badge, the tile turns green, and the next unshot tile is already marked.

3

Export

One tap builds a ZIP with a folder per stage and files named by measure, plus a notes PDF. Share it to email, Files, or your provider's portal.

How RateCaddy reads

Every color means exactly one thing, on every screen and on every report. You can read a project's state from across the truck.

Yellow is when

Your next stop, the week strip, the schedule, the test date on a report.

Blue is shoot

Camera buttons, photo counts, inspections. Tap anything blue to add photos.

Green is done

Tiles, inspections and tests turn green when complete or when the result passes.

Red needs attention

A failed test, a Must Correct item, or a delete. Red is never decoration.

Reports

The report is done when the test is

Enter readings on the test screen and the PDF is one tap. Your company name, address, logo and rater line print on every page. Pass or fail is a solid green or red band, the same grammar as the app.

Beyond rating

Any list. Any trade.

The measure list is yours to write, and so are its visits. Home inspectors, insulation crews, adjusters and property managers use the same photo wall with their own headings, their own visit names, and the list name as the project type. If the job is "photograph these twelve things and hand them off with notes," RateCaddy already does it.

Common questions

Does it work without cell service?

Yes, every feature. Everything the app needs ships inside it. Photos, tests, the checklist, reports and backups never touch a network. The only optional online feature is the weather chip, which is off by default.

Where are my photos stored?

On your phone, in the app's own database. They are not in your camera roll and they are not on a server. You get them out with the ZIP export per project or stage, or with a full backup from Settings.

Is this a rating tool or a replacement for my rating software?

Neither. RateCaddy documents the field visit: photos, notes, test readings and the checklist. It does the blower door and duct math so you know pass or fail on site, but the rating itself still happens in your rating software, and verification against the applicable standard is still yours.
