Straight Forward Software

Field tools for land surveyors, written by one.

What we make

Software for the way survey work is actually done on the ground — in the field, on a phone, often with no connection. Every number the app prints can be checked by hand, and the arithmetic and its references are printed on the sheet. No accounts, no advertising, no analytics. The work stays on the phone it was done on.

Apps

Leveling Field Book

Android · differential leveling

A field book that draws the run. Every benchmark, every loop, the direction of each section and its length, with the elevation difference written along the line it belongs to. The whole network is adjusted by least squares, the misclosure is distributed in proportion to distance, and the result comes out as a PDF report you can sign — with a two-peg instrument check tied to the serial number of the level that did the work.

A leveling schematic: benchmarks, loops, elevation differences and distances drawn along each section.
