Live public map

Live public notes around Chicago.

The front page loads public notes directly from the API and starts the map over Chicago. Location access is requested only later in workflows that actually need it, such as creating a note.

    Offline-first location intelligence

    LocationNotes for teams that cannot lose field context.

    Capture location notes with categories, team context, and visibility controls while offline, then sync safely with GUID-based conflict handling.

    Find a trackable

    Enter an exact short secret code or public code. Private scan URLs are meant to be scanned and routed through the website without a manual entry field.

    Trackable code lookup help

    Use this lookup only for exact public codes or exact short secret codes. If the code does not match exactly, the page stays here and shows a not-found message instead of redirecting.

    Private scan URLs are intentionally not entered by hand here. They are meant to be scanned and routed through the website or app scanner flow.

    A public code opens the normal public trackable page. A secret code or private scan QR creates a remembered active-trackable session on this browser so later note flows can attach the trackable without re-entering that secret.

    Map-first workflow

    The Android app opens to nearby map markers and shows online/offline status continuously.

    Offline capture

    Create private notes locally with or without an account. Signed-in members can also create team-associated notes offline.

    Teams with approval flow

    Authenticated users can start teams, invite members, approve requests, deny requests, and manage team membership.

    Hierarchical categories

    Browse by nested categories or spatial map view with the same underlying sync model.

    Public, private, and team visibility

    Notes can stay personal-private, be published publicly, or belong to a team while remaining team-private or public.

    Team-aware retention

    Deleting an account does not automatically delete team contributions. Team notes stay with the team until admins remove them or the team is deleted.

    Account linking

    Use local credentials, Google, and Facebook with multi-provider account linking.

    Compliance-ready

    Public privacy, support, auth setup, and data deletion pages are served from the same domain as the API.
