GroundLog
Field compliance logs & maps
Free
GroundLog is the field compliance log for environmental inspectors, built by one.
Everything you document on a construction site lives in one place: structured daily logs, a live GPS field map you can draw on, geotagged photo documentation with a compass overlay, BMP and restoration tracking with real progress math, and polished inspection reports generated from your own notes.
DAILY LOGS
• Structured cards for site observations, crew and contractors, weather, compliance checks, and open items
• Carry forward yesterday's entries and edit from there instead of retyping
• Close the day as an immutable, versioned submission with a certification line
• Works fully offline; syncs when you're back in coverage
FIELD MAP
• Draw work areas, trace perimeter controls, drop markers and punch-list flags right on the map
• Track every feature by state: planned, installed, stabilized, removed
• Import KML/KMZ plan layers and georeferenced plan sheets as overlays
• Net disturbed-area math that handles overlaps for you
PHOTOS
• Native camera with a live compass bearing and caption overlay
• Every shot is geotagged, pinned to the map, and filed by date and category
• Seed-tag and bag-weight capture for seeding and restoration records
INSPECTIONS AND REPORTS
• SWPPP qualified-inspector inspection form with a signed PDF export
• Daily inspection report (DOCX/PDF) assembled from the day's log, photos, and map, polished by AI only when you ask
• Tracker exports to Excel, map data to KML/KMZ, photos bundled with their metadata
WEATHER AND TRIGGERS
• Site rainfall from public radar-derived data plus the NWS forecast for your jobsite
• Open-item reminders that follow the rules you set
PROJECTS AND TEAMS
• Work alone, or invite your team with role-based access
• Your notes stay private until you submit a day or share an item; reviewers see only what you published
• Sign in with Apple, Google, or email
YOUR DATA IS YOURS
• Export everything, anytime, in open formats: DOCX, PDF, XLSX, KML, ZIP
• Delete your account and all associated data from inside the app
• No ads, no tracking, no selling of data. Ever.
Built for environmental inspectors, qualified inspectors, and field compliance teams on solar, transmission, pipeline, and civil construction sites.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Each project keeps its own
• Settings follow the project you have open. Report branding, card labels and timesheet setup no longer carry over when you switch projects.
• Daily logs, day notes, the calendar, photos, compliance counts, timesheet history and map markers show the open project only. Nothing from one project shows up on another.
• Every day is filed under its project, so two projects can each have a log on the same date.
Photos
• Move photos to another project from the select bar.
• Recently Deleted shows the open project only.
Switching and the app bar
• Switching projects refreshes the page you are on.
• The reload button and the sync status stay visible with long project names.
