Templated Field Survey

Design your own survey in YAML, then collect records offline with GPS, photos and maps — and export a clean spreadsheet. Private by default: your data stays on device.

Your field logbook, on your phone — build any survey, powered by your device.

• Fits almost any field survey — define your own sections and variables with a simple template • Let your device do the work — automatic timestamps, one-tap GPS, and photos attached right to each record • Capture once, export clean — your data goes straight into an accurate, analysis-ready spreadsheet • Private by default — your data stays on your device, no account or third-party cloud required

How it works

1. Get a template — a .yaml file that defines your survey's structure
2. Import it — paste a URL, scan a QR code, or open a local file
3. Collect data in the field — quickly log each new observation
4. Export when done — get an XLSX or ODS spreadsheet for analysis

Design your own survey

Field Survey runs on templates you define, so it fits almost any survey:

• Organized into sections — build your survey from sections that nest parent-to-child, each holding its own variables • Variable types — Text, Int, Float, Boolean, Date / Time / DateTime, Option, OptionCount (count per option), Map (location, path, polygon), Photo, Markdown (with more types on the way) • Deeply configurable — adjust both sections and variables to fit your exact workflow (full list in the guide)
