About Fossy Protokoll
Fossy Protokoll helps tenants in Germany keep a verifiable record of defects in
their flat: noise disturbance, mould, heating failures and more.
From the recorded occurrences it builds a protocol covering a chosen period, and
a factual defect notification addressed to the landlord. Both can be saved and
shared as PDF or Markdown.
Note: the app is in German
The interface and all generated documents are written in German, because they
follow German residential tenancy practice.
Not legal advice
The app documents, it does not advise. The generated texts cite no statutes,
claim no rent reduction and set no deadline of their own. A response date only
appears when you enter one yourself.
Everything stays on the device
Data lives in a local database, photos in the app's private directory. The app
requests no permission that touches your data or the device, never accesses
the network, and contains no
tracking or analytics. When you export something, you choose the destination
yourself.
Android's automatic backup is switched off as well, so your defects and photos
never reach a cloud account. Instead you can create a full backup as a ZIP file
at any time and restore it later, for instance when moving to a new phone.
Without such a backup the data is lost if the device is.
