Field notes
The homepage describes a sequence from creating an operation and assigning groups through field updates to an automatically generated PDF closing report. Its mobile app is presented as supporting background GPS tracking and one-tap reports for person finds or radio requests; the page also says it can work with weak connectivity. A read-only API is described for publishing an organization's completed, approved operations, explicitly excluding ongoing incidents and internal data.
