How do I prove a neighbor dispute?

A dated record of each incident — what happened, when, with photos or video — kept in one place so the pattern is clear.

What should I document in a neighbor dispute?

Each incident with its date and time, photos or video, any damage, who was involved or witnessed it, and every complaint you’ve made to council or police.

Should I report it to the council or police?

Often yes, depending on the issue — and log every report you make, with the date and reference number, as part of your record.

When should I start documenting?

As early as possible. A pattern built from the first incident is far stronger than one reconstructed later.

Is this you?

Is this happening to you?

It's been going on a while, and it's getting worse. If any of this sounds familiar:

Repeated noise, late nights, no respite
Damage to your fence, property, or land
Harassment, threats, or intimidation
A boundary or access dispute that won’t resolve
You’ve complained, but nothing’s written down

One incident is “he said, she said.” A dated record of every one is a pattern. That's what this app helps you build.

How it works

Three simple steps.

Capture — Log each incident with the date, a photo, and what happened. Timestamped instantly.
Build — Everything lands on one clear, dated timeline, in order.
Export — One tap turns it into a complete record for council, police, or your lawyer.

For property lawyers & mediators

A neighbor dispute comes down to who kept the record.

Most people arrive with a few photos and a story. The ones who get somewhere show up with every incident dated, photographed, and in order. You can't be there for each one. But you can point them somewhere that captures it.

What usually walks in

“It’s been happening for months”
Photos with no dates
Incidents half-remembered
Complaints nobody recorded

What buildmyevidence brings

Every incident dated & timestamped
Photos tied to each event
One clear timeline, in order
Exported as a clean record

They arrive ready

A dated pattern, not a story. Stronger from day one.

Evidence isn’t lost

Recommend it early and the record builds as it happens.

Costs you nothing

No admin. Just point them to it.
