01
Your checklist, as a screen
Sections, pass/fail/not-applicable, free-text notes and required items that block submission. The form is data, so changing a question is a sentence rather than a reprint.
Use case — native mobile app
Build the inspection app that replaces the clipboard
The inspection already happens — on a clipboard, photographed at the end of the day, filed as a PDF nobody can search. The failure is not the checklist, it is that the evidence and the record never meet. An inspection app is a form, a camera, a location stamp and a signature, and it has to be native because all four of those live on the phone. Vibely builds it in React Native and Expo, against your own database, so the record is searchable the moment the inspector taps submit.
- Real React Native and Expo — native navigation and native components, not a web view
- Photo evidence per checklist item through expo-camera
- GPS stamp on the inspection via expo-location
- Records in your own Supabase project, searchable from the web side
- Scan a QR code and run it on your own phone through Expo Go while you build
- Cloud builds through EAS reach TestFlight and Play internal testing
Start with this prompt
Paste it in and edit the details to match your own. Being specific about the screens and the data is what separates a working app from a mockup.
Build a native mobile app for site inspections. Home: my assigned sites, and a button to start a new inspection. Inspection: a checklist in three sections — Exterior, Safety, Equipment — each item marked Pass, Fail or N/A. A Fail requires a note and at least one photo taken with the camera. Capture the location and time when the inspection starts. Finish: a summary of the failures, a signature pad, and Submit. History: past inspections for a site, newest first, with the failure count, opening into the full report with its photos. Data in Supabase: sites, inspections, items and photos. An inspector sees only their assigned sites. Seed three sites and a few completed inspections.
What to build next
- Hold inspections on the device when there is no signal and sync later.
- Generate a PDF report of a completed inspection to share.
- Add a web dashboard for the office over the same database.

What the build actually consists of
For property, construction, facilities, safety, plant maintenance and anyone else whose quality process is a laminated form. It suits a team that already knows its checklist — the value is capture and retrieval, not designing the inspection for you.
02
Evidence attached to the item
expo-camera for photos on the failing item specifically, expo-location for where it was taken, and a signature on completion — so the proof is attached to the finding rather than to the end of the day.
03
Findable afterwards
Inspections, items, photos and signatures in your own Supabase project. Build the web side in the same account and the office can search by site, date or failure instead of opening PDFs.
What you get
- A checklist with sections, pass/fail/N-A and required items
- Photos attached to the specific item that failed
- A location and timestamp on every inspection
- A signature to close it out
- A history screen, and an office-side record that is searchable
Describe it. Watch it build.
Paste the prompt above and scan the QR code when the build lands — the app runs on your own phone while you are still changing it. The free plan needs no card.

Questions, answered.
Will it work in a basement with no signal?+
Ask for it explicitly and the inspection is held on the device and synced when the connection returns. This is the single most important thing to state in the first prompt for field work — build it in rather than bolt it on.
Can we change the checklist ourselves later?+
You change it by asking, and the change deploys with the next build. If you need non-technical staff to edit the checklist in a settings screen, say so in the prompt and the form becomes data they can edit rather than something the app hard-codes.
Where do the photos live?+
In your own Supabase Storage bucket, alongside the inspection record in your own Postgres database. We do not hold your evidence.
Do inspectors need to install anything from a store?+
Not to start. Expo Go and a QR code get the app onto a phone the same day. For ongoing use, EAS builds reach TestFlight and Play internal testing, which covers a team without a public listing.
