One site visit. A usable project record.
Keep surveys organized, from first dimensions to options discussed with the customer. Each item keeps its sketch, specifications and photos together.
Prepare the project
Choose units, measurement conventions and shared preferences. Project defaults apply to each entry, with individual overrides when needed.
Describe each item
Start from an illustrated template. Add dimensions, opening direction, finish, glazing bars, infills and equipment. A photo or annotation clarifies the detail that matters.
Keep track as plans change
Create a revision for an alternative. Reorder entries to match your site visit or quotation. Recover deleted projects and revisions from the trash.
Share a clear project record
Check the PDF in portrait or landscape. For compatible software, select projects and data for JSON export. You choose the receiving app each time you share.
LiDAR
Estimate an opening on site.
Open the full-screen camera, scan the existing window and select the detected opening. Review width and height, then optionally save a dimensioned photo to the survey. Compatible device and LiDAR required. Estimates are for initial costing; check dimensions before ordering or manufacturing.

An unusual feature, installation detail or note: add to the template with your finger or Apple Pencil. Freehand drawing sits alongside dimensions and entry options to preserve the context of the survey. Your annotations are retained when you change the color or template.

The details you need, at your fingertips.
A survey tailored to each item, with the information needed for estimating and room for your specific requirements.
RAL and finishes
Search a RAL number, find common shades first and preview the choice on the sketch. Add wood effects and special finishes; screen colors are approximate.
Configure each infill
Independent glazing bars in sashes, transoms, bottom sections and sidelights. Adjust bar and transom height, then choose glass or panel per zone.
Your units, your conventions
Metric or imperial units, DD / HT / TF measurement bases and market-specific fields. New build or renovation, installation details and free notes for local requirements.
Complete survey entries
Trims, frame extensions, handles and locks, insect screens, blinds, ventilation and shutters. Project defaults can be adjusted per entry, with existing-site photos.
Voice and LiDAR, under your control
Dictate surveys in all nine app languages, then review before applying. LiDAR detects openings and offers a dimensioned photo on compatible devices for initial estimating.
Manage revisions and order
Duplicate a revision to keep alternatives, reorder forms and restore projects or revisions from the trash. Deleting items does not reset the discovery allowance.
Clear PDFs, shareable data
Each item starts on a new page, with extra pages when needed. App-wide A4 or Letter and portrait or landscape settings. Documented JSON export to your chosen software, if it supports the format.
COMPOSITION AND INFILL PANELS
One opening, several details to specify.
This glazed door shows how to combine a golden oak finish, a horizontal rail and two infill types in the same sketch. The PVC panel is at the bottom; the glazing and glazing bars occupy the upper section.

Windows, doors and international styles
Fixed lights, one- to three-sash casements, tilt-and-turn, outward-opening, hopper, awning, pivot, louvre, sliding, single- and double-hung, folding doors, patio doors and arches. A blank template lets you draw special cases.
Shutters, gates and garage doors
Roller, hinged and sliding shutters; pedestrian, double-leaf and sliding gates. Garage doors have dedicated families and fields: installation dimensions, headroom, side clearances, windows, wicket door and motorization.
Technical choices that are easy to overlook
Full reinforcement, pre-drilled frames, security strikes, centered handles, semi-fixed hardware on symmetrical tilt-and-turn windows and warm-edge spacers. Add trims, frame extensions, locks, insect screens, blinds, ventilation and shutters in a consistent entry order.
Adapt measurements, keep your conventions
Millimeters, centimeters, meters or feet and inches, with imperial fractions. DD back-of-frame, HT overall and TF finished opening; frame extensions count in HT. Europe, USA/Canada, South America, Asia and international profiles support your conventions without replacing manufacturer requirements. Country presets can be edited.
LOCAL STORAGE + ICLOUD
Your projects stay with you.
Create and edit on both devices. Projects and photos are saved locally, then synced when possible through the same personal iCloud account. No Ava Core account to create and no WDS server to connect.
Discovery and subscriptions
A first project, then a subscription.
Visit the App Store page to install Ava WDS on iPhone or iPad. Discovery access and subscriptions are managed in the app. Apple confirms the price and terms before any purchase.
Discovery
One personal project, V1 to V3
Explore the demo project’s examples without saving, then create one personal project and two revisions of that project (V1 to V3). Deleting a project or revision does not reset this allowance. Existing data remain readable, editable and exportable without a subscription.

Prices shown are for France. A monthly or annual subscription lets you create further projects or revisions.

Purchases use your Apple account, and sync uses your personal iCloud on compatible devices. No payments on this website.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an Ava Core account?
No. Ava WDS is a standalone Apple app. Your Apple account handles purchases; your personal iCloud provides sync. No Ava Core account or WDS server is required.
What happens offline?
Keep working locally. Sync resumes when possible. Before switching devices, close the entry and check iCloud status. Keep an independent backup of important surveys.
Which languages and countries?
French, English, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Greek, Dutch and Polish: interface, manual, PDF and survey dictation. UK/US English and Portugal/Brazil Portuguese variants. Units and technical profiles are adjustable; local requirements still need checking.
Does LiDAR replace final measurement?
No. It supports preliminary estimating on LiDAR-equipped devices. Distance, reflections and tracking affect results. Always confirm dimensions with a suitable instrument before ordering or manufacturing.
How do I send my data?
Share a PDF or select projects for structured JSON export. Choose the data and receiving app. No persistent remote access. The receiving software must read the format, and received copies cannot be recalled.
How do I cancel or request a refund?
Manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple account. Cancellation stops renewal; refunds must be requested separately from Apple. Eligibility depends on country and circumstances, without reducing statutory rights.
Can I edit on both iPhone and iPad?
Yes. The same user can create and edit projects on both iPhone and iPad. Synchronization uses their personal iCloud to make projects, revisions, sketches and photos available on both devices as soon as transfer is possible.
Can I fill in entries by voice?
Yes, in all nine app languages and their regional variants. Dictate several fields and units in one phrase, review, analyse and confirm. Recognition runs on-device and requires the selected language to be available locally; otherwise use the keyboard. No audio is saved. Apple Intelligence is optional; this is not hands-free voice navigation.
How do I apply preferences across a project?
The project's technical preferences apply to window and door entries that inherit them. You can adjust an entry individually without changing the others, then restore the shared preferences if needed. Inherited choices and individual exceptions remain identifiable to keep the survey consistent.
What if I delete a project or revision?
Deleted projects and revisions remain accessible in the trash and can be restored. Retained revisions let you revisit the stages of a survey. The trash does not replace an independent backup: also keep an exported copy of your important surveys.
