Mobile App + Desktop App
Two interfaces. One live data layer.
Mobile App
iOS · Android · Now Live
Built for the Field.
Works Without Signal.

The BLT mobile app is designed for the PM who's on-site, moving fast, and can't afford friction. Log an expense, photograph a receipt, capture a progress photo, and get back to work — all in under 30 seconds. The app works fully offline and syncs automatically when signal returns.

  • Native camera integration — capture receipts and progress photos without leaving the app
  • Full offline mode — expenses, photos, and timesheets queue locally in dead zones
  • Tap-grid timesheet entry for crew hours — the whole week in under 2 minutes
  • Purchase request submission and real-time approval notifications
  • Instant sync badge — always know what's queued and when it uploads
  • Available on iOS and Android — install from the browser, no app store required
Desktop App
Mac · Windows · Now Live
Built for the Office.
Full Visibility at a Glance.

The BLT desktop app gives managers the full picture across every active project — budgets, approvals, AI alerts, and subcontractor status — in a layout designed for a real monitor. The weekly review, inline budget editing, and multi-project dashboard are all optimized for the keyboard-and-mouse workflow managers actually use.

  • Three-project dashboard — all builds side by side with budget health, phases, and alerts
  • Full weekly review workflow — approve, flag, reassign, or reject in one focused session
  • Inline budget editing with tab navigation — spreadsheet speed, construction context
  • AI insights panel — live alerts, anomaly detection, and the weekly digest pre-built
  • Subcontractor registry, invoice tracking, and payment recording
  • Fully responsive — all desktop features accessible on a phone when the manager is away from their desk

How BLT Compares

Built for Small Builders.
Not Enterprise.

Most construction software is bloated, outdated, or built for enterprise GCs. BLT is the modern alternative — built for teams that work in the field and the office, whether they're across the street or across the country.
