DepositBack guides you through your rented home room by room on move-in day, stamps every photo with the time and place, and seals the check-in with a fingerprint. Your landlord can sign the report in a browser. At move-out you reshoot the same spots, compare before and after, and build a dispute pack for TDS, DPS or mydeposits.

1Move-in

Every room, before you unpack.

DepositBack walks you through each room spot by spot: walls, floors, the oven, the windows. Tap a photo to mark a stain, scuff or chip. Every photo is stamped with the time and place and fingerprinted.

2Sign

Sealed, sent and signed.

When every spot is done, seal the check-in and send the PDF report with a private link. Your landlord or letting agent opens it in any browser and signs with a finger, or adds comments. No app needed.

3Move-out

Same spot, same angle, a year later.

At move-out a ghost of each check-in photo helps you line up the same shot. DepositBack puts the pairs side by side and points out what may have changed. You decide: it was there, fair wear and tear, or a dispute.

What it does

Everything DepositBack does, in short.

1

Room by room, spot by spot

Ready-made rooms and spots (walls, floors, oven, windows and more) that you can edit. DepositBack shows what to shoot next, and you tap a photo to mark a stain, scuff or chip.

2

Sealed with time and place

Every photo is stamped with when and where it was taken and fingerprinted with SHA-256. When you finish, the whole check-in is sealed. Any later change breaks the seal.

3

Meters, keys and alarms

Photograph gas and electricity readings, count the keys and fobs you were handed, and record that smoke and carbon monoxide alarms were tested.

4

A report your landlord can sign

Export a sealed PDF report, and send a private sintios.com link. Your landlord or letting agent opens it in any browser, signs with a finger or adds comments. No app needed.

5

Move-out, side by side

At move-out a ghost of your check-in photo helps you reshoot each spot from the same angle. Then see what changed and mark each item as already there, fair wear and tear, or a dispute.

6

Dates and the dispute pack

Reminders for the inventory reply, deposit protection, move-out and the dispute deadline. Answer deductions one by one and export a pack and letter for TDS, DPS or mydeposits.

7

Private by design

No account needed, no ads, no analytics. Photos and reports stay on your iPhone. Only a sign or invite link you create is stored on our server, and it is deleted automatically.
