Less signal.
More possibility.

LESS SETUP. MORE FIELDWORK.

Built for continuity

Purpose built field forms

Built-in structures optimised for environmental monitoring, geoheritage and research.

01

Your work, on your device

Zero login, account free. Complete local device autonomy in the field.

02

Open GIS pipelines

Export seamless spatial layers, metadata and media into QGIS, spreadsheets or reports.

03

REVISIT PLANNER

Return to the same GPS points.

Plan a follow-up survey in the same project using locations you already recorded. Keep plot IDs, photo points and boundaries close to the next round of fieldwork.

Choose the earlier visit

In Revisit planner, choose Copy targets from visit. If the project is on another device, restore its NaturaNote project backup first.

Plan your return targets

Choose Select all targets to use every eligible saved location, or tick individual points. Set a new label and date, then choose Create linked visit.

Record fresh observations

Use Show on map to inspect the target. Record this visit opens a fresh form linked to the earlier record. Check the location, enter today’s evidence and save each target.

ONE PLACE. MANY LAYERS.

A boundary is only the beginning.

Bring areas, plots, observations and evidence into the same project. Record the context behind a place, then return to see what changes.

Place

Project outlines, area boundaries, plot points and observation locations.

Evidence

Notes, photographs, short recorded or uploaded sound and video clips.

Continuity

Linked revisit plans, repeat photo points, project history and portable backups.

Explore the connected toolkit

THE TOOLKIT, UNFOLDED

Powerful in the details. Simple in the field.

Explore a little deeper. Specialist options stay tucked away until they are useful.

Collect the full environmental pictureArea, Plot, Flora, Fauna, Fungi, Threat, Water, Landforms, Heritage and Photo point.
Start with the right form, add observed detail and uncertainty, attach permitted media and save. Add up to four custom text, choice or Yes/No fields to each form.
Work with and without receptionLocal-first records and saved map images keep the essentials close.
Forms, saved records, GPS capture and boundary editing work offline after preparation. Online basemaps, ALA lookups and project sync need a connection. Offline maps keep the detail of the saved image.
Share deliberately, by link or QRMove a selected project between devices without requiring field users to create an account.
Each device keeps a local copy. Optional sharing uses hosted storage and sync APIs; anyone with the project link can access that shared project and add observations. It is not direct peer-to-peer syncing.
Keep the doors open to GISBring GeoJSON, GPX tracks and georeferenced images in. Take structured spatial evidence out.
QGIS bundles include GeoJSON, shapefile compatibility copies, media indexes, metadata and history. CSV, Excel, GPX waypoints and readable HTML reports support other workflows.
Give data a longer lifeSources, licences, methods, confidence, limitations and independently kept backups.
Metadata fields use ISO 19115-1 and ISO 19157-1 concepts without claiming certification. Sealed transfer copies and separate receipts support integrity checking, with clear limits.

BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO NOTICE

Different fields. Shared solution.

A practical starting point for students, field teams, communities and specialist context.

Research & learning

Take observations from a field class to a research dataset.

Use consistent visits, methods and metadata. Export observations to QGIS or a spreadsheet and preserve the limitations behind the numbers.
