FiberView Pro — Field Tools for Fiber Technicians FiberView Pro is the reference and documentation app built for fiber optic professionals. Four powerful tools in one fast, offline-ready app — color identification, field notes, audit tables, and drawing markups. No subscription. No account required. — FIBER COLOR IDENTIFICATION Instantly look up any fiber by tube and strand number across all major color coding standards. The visual ribbon chart gives you a color-accurate view of your entire cable layout at a glance. Your recent lookups are saved automatically so you can jump straight back to your last cable without starting over. Need something non-standard? Build custom cable configurations and save them for reuse across any job. — SMART NOTEPAD Take rich, formatted notes straight from the field. Bold, italic, underline, bullet lists — your documentation looks professional from the moment you write it. Organize notes into folders and smart folders that update automatically based on content. Start quickly with built-in templates for splice logs, strand notes, and job summaries. When the job is done, export any note as a clean PDF or print it directly from the app — ready for client handoffs and job closeout packages. — AUDIT TABLES Build structured inspection and audit tables without opening a spreadsheet. Create custom columns, enter test readings, and keep every table organized by job. When you're ready, export a polished, print-ready PDF to attach to work orders or send directly to clients. Smart folders surface your most recent audits automatically so your active work is always front and center. — REDLINE DRAWINGS Import any PDF — as-builts, floor plans, fiber diagrams — and mark them up right in the app. Annotate with arrows, shapes, freehand ink, and text labels. Pinch to zoom and pan through multi-page documents with precision. When your markup is complete, export a finished redlined PDF ready for engineering review or client approval. No laptop. No desktop software. No extra steps. — ICLOUD SYNC Your notes, tables, and redlines sync automatically across all your Apple devices via iCloud.
