Audit Plus - Checklists & Tools

 

Welcome to Audit Plus, the all-in-one application for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS designed to revolutionize how you handle audits, inspections, and quality control. With a powerful local-first architecture and seamless iCloud sync, Audit Plus gives you complete control over your data, online or offline.

Core Capabilities

At its heart, Audit Plus allows you to design reusable templates that define the structure of your audits. From these templates, you can generate individual audits to capture responses, track compliance, and maintain a complete record of your inspections.

Common Use Cases

  • Safety Inspections and Compliance Audits
  • Quality Control and Manufacturing Checks
  • Workflow Automation and Process Verification
  • Equipment Maintenance and Service Records
  • Facility and Property Inspections

A Modern, Secure Architecture

Audit Plus is built on a sophisticated local-first document system. This means your data is always stored securely on your device, ensuring you have full access even without an internet connection. When you are online, changes sync automatically and privately across your devices using iCloud.

  • Local-First Design: Enjoy full functionality, whether you are online or offline.
  • Transparent iCloud Sync: Your work is automatically backed up and synced across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
  • Document-Based Storage: Each audit is a self-contained file (.apaudit), making it easy to share, store, and archive.
  • Cross-Device Preferences: Your favorited templates and audit priorities sync seamlessly via CloudKit.

AI-Powered Features

Audit Plus integrates powerful artificial intelligence capabilities to streamline your workflow and enhance your audits. AI features use your own API keys from OpenAI, Google AI, or Anthropic.

Template Generation

Create complete audit templates from natural language descriptions. Simply describe what you need—like “safety inspection for construction sites” or “restaurant health inspection”—and AI generates a fully structured template with relevant sections, questions, and compliance criteria.

Image Generation

Generate custom images directly within your templates and audits. Create visual aids, safety diagrams, or reference images using AI image generation from OpenAI (DALL-E) or Google AI (Imagen).

Audio Generation

Convert text to natural-sounding speech for audio instructions, safety announcements, or narrated guidance. Perfect for creating audio content that can be played back during audits—ideal for hands-free environments or accessibility needs.

Video Generation

Create AI-generated video clips to demonstrate procedures, showcase proper techniques, or provide visual training materials. Available using an OpenAI or Google AI API key.

Bring Your Own API Key

Add your API keys from OpenAI, Google AI, or Anthropic in settings for direct access to AI providers. Keys are stored securely in the device keychain and never synced.

The Template System

The powerful template editor is the foundation of Audit Plus. It provides a comprehensive interface for creating standardized audit forms with a wide range of features:

  • Multiple question types including text, numbers, dates, yes/no, and multiple choice.
  • Organize audits with sections and subsections.
  • Capture custom metadata with properties.
  • Set compliance thresholds and pass/fail criteria.
  • Protect sensitive information with password-protected templates.
  • Automate tasks with completion actions (e.g., send an email or POST to a server).

The Audit Workflow

The audit process is designed to be intuitive, guiding you through a clear three-stage workflow:

  1. Details Stage: Capture essential metadata, location, and custom properties for the audit.
  2. Questions Stage: Answer all template questions, with support for attaching photos, videos, audio, and detailed notes.
  3. Completion Stage: Review responses, identify issues, and execute automated completion actions.

During an audit, you can flag items, track non-compliance, and the app will automatically calculate compliance scores, highlighting areas that require attention.

Advanced Features

Audit Plus is packed with features to streamline your workflow:

  • Asset Management: Attach photos, videos, and audio to questions. Assets are compressed and packaged within the audit document for complete record-keeping.
  • Inline Audio Playback: Audio attachments include an inline player for easy playback during audits.
  • Flexible Export Options: Export completed audits to PDF, JSON, or trigger a custom server POST for seamless API integration.
  • Automation: Use Shortcuts and home screen quick actions to create new audits from your favorite templates with a single tap.
