Skava as a Craftnote alternative.
Craftnote organizes the construction site through a digital construction file with chat and documentation. Skava builds on the same core — project chat and documentation — but goes one step further: you speak in the service item, and Skava creates tasks and finished invoices.

Craftnote vs. Skava — the difference.
If you're looking for a Craftnote alternative, it's usually about one thing: less manual data entry. Skava is chat- and documentation-native like a digital construction file, but puts the emphasis on voice capture — so that what's said on the construction site becomes service items and invoices without typing.
| Aspect | Typical construction file | Skava |
|---|---|---|
| Core principle | Digital construction file with chat | Chat + voice capture + invoicing |
| Capture | Type in / forms | Voice memo → automatic service item |
| Tasks | Lists per project | Generated from memo, assigned |
| Invoice | Documentation, billing often separate | Invoice directly from captured service items |
| Getting started | Usually demo/onboarding | Start for free, no sales call |
| Platform | App + web | App (iOS/Android) + web, same account |
| Hosting | Cloud | Servers in Germany, GDPR-compliant |
