RainLog

For the crew

Know when rain is coming before the crew shows up.

RainLog checks the forecast for each job, opens the radar on a phone, and keeps the dated rain record for the PDF.

On the phone

Built for the field

  • Alerts when rain is headed to a site, on the job page and by email.
  • Live radar you can scrub hour by hour, with the job pinned against the nearest rain.
  • Photo capture that stores the time, and the map point when the phone has one, on that rain day.

Alerts include a site-specific checklist — cover materials, protect openings, check drainage.

Sample alert

Rain expected at Sample house

0.40 inches in the next 48 hours.

  • Check drainage around the foundation.

Active work: Footings.

Sample alert. Not a live forecast.


The pin is Sample house. The map shows that site and the nearest rain. This view is not a saved job.

How it works

  1. Add the street address and the date the job became active.
  2. RainLog locates the address and reads daily precipitation from NOAA. A day counts as rain at 0.10 inches or more. The forecast alert uses the same line.
  3. Paste the task list, or import a CSV with task name, start date, and end date. Export the PDF, or email it at the start of each month.

What a job looks like

This sample is made up. The blue days are rain, the white days are dry, and the gray day had no reading. The PDF is the one-page summary this job would print.

From April 1, 2026 through April 30, 2026, this site recorded 6 rain days at 0.10 inches or more, and 23 dry days with a station reading. The longest run of rain days was 3 days, from April 2, 2026 through April 4, 2026. 1 day had no reading from the station and is not counted as dry. Tasks that overlap rain days: Footings (3 rain days), Framing (2 rain days), Drywall (1 rain day). Those are the days most likely to matter in a delay conversation.
