From raised to verified, with a photo

Snagging List

Photo-based defects and snagging list for handover - any trade or profession. A status board moves every defect from Open through In Progress and Fixed to Verified, an Areas view rolls the same defects up by room or location, and a Summary tab surfaces the oldest open item and a by-trade breakdown. Defects persist between sessions, and you can export the lot as CSV or PDF whenever you need it.

Metre2 Snagging List showing the status board with photo defect cards

A board, not a spreadsheet

Every defect is a photo card that moves left to right through Open, In Progress, Fixed and Verified - click the arrows on any card to move it along or back, no dragging required.

Attach a photo, right from the form

Every defect can carry a photo, resized and compressed on your device before it's saved - the first genuinely photo-based capture flow anywhere in the Metre2 portfolio.

See where the open items actually are

The Areas tab rolls every defect up by room or location - a colour-coded tile with an open count and a small photo collage for each area, sorted so the worst areas surface first.

The oldest open item, called out

The Summary tab doesn't just count defects - it flags the single oldest open item by name and age, so nothing quietly sits open for weeks unnoticed.

Which trade actually has the backlog

A breakdown of open defects by trade shows at a glance whether the bottleneck is electrical, plumbing, plastering or somewhere else entirely.

Search, and filter by area, trade or severity

Search by title or notes, and filter the board by area, trade or severity to see exactly the slice of the job you're working on right now.

Your own areas, coloured your way

Add, rename, recolour or remove areas in Settings - each area's colour carries through to its cards on the board and its tile on the Areas grid.

Your list is still there tomorrow

Defects and their photos persist between sessions, so the list builds into a real running record - close the app and reopen it, and everything is right where you left it.

Export to CSV or PDF

Export the whole list as a CSV file or a formatted PDF whenever you need it - for a client, a contractor, or a handover pack.

Any trade or profession

The sample data leans toward construction snagging, but nothing in the app enforces it - any handover-style job with defects to track and clear can use it.

Light/dark theme, and sample data

A light/dark toggle that remembers your choice, and a randomised sample defect list - a fresh, realistic set every time - to explore the app before you start logging your own.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to install anything to use Snagging List?

Snagging List is a Windows desktop app, free to try from the Microsoft Store.

Does my Snagging List account work with Vector and Forma?

Yes - Snagging List uses the same shared Metre2 account as Vector, Forma and every other Keystone app. Sign in once and it works everywhere.

How does a defect move between Open, In Progress, Fixed and Verified?

Every defect card on the Board has forward and back arrows - click through to move it along, or back if it needs re-checking. No dragging required.

Is this only for construction handovers?

No - defect tracking with a photo is useful for any handover-style job, though the sample data leans toward construction snagging. Nothing in the app enforces it.

Where do my defects and photos go?

Defects and any attached photos persist on your device between sessions and in any file you export - nothing is uploaded anywhere. They don't currently sync across multiple devices.

Do photos take up a lot of space?

Photos are resized and compressed on your device before they're saved, so a defect log with plenty of photos stays reasonably light.

Can I organise defects by room or area?

Yes - the Areas tab rolls every defect up by room or location, each with its own colour and a small photo collage, so you can see at a glance where the open items are.

Can I edit a defect after logging it?

Yes - click the pencil icon on any card to open it in the same quick form used for adding a new defect, including swapping or removing its photo.
