EarthNotes — the collaborative map your team's been missing. Drop pins on properties, parcels, job sites, or anywhere that matters — then chat, share files, and coordinate with your team right on the map. Think Slack for places. Instead of channels, you organize conversations by location. So when someone says "what about that property on Bay Drive?" — you tap the pin and the whole thread, every file, every contact, every reminder is right there. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Pin any property, parcel, or location on satellite or street maps • Start a conversation tied to each pin — your whole team sees the same thread • Share files: photos, PDFs, docs, links, voice notes • @mention teammates to pull them into the right thread instantly • Get push notifications when someone replies, mentions you, or shares a property • Send a share link to anyone — they can view and reply from their browser, no install required • Track status (prospect, active, closed) and set follow-up reminders • Favorite places, tag them, sort by score, filter by sheet • Tap any US property to see parcel data: address, acreage, building square footage, owner info • Organize work into collaborative sheets — like spreadsheets, but spatial BUILT FOR TEAMS Every pin belongs to your team. Every conversation is shared. No more "is the file in Slack or Drive or someone's text?" — it lives on the map, attached to the place. Add teammates with one tap. Invite a contact via share link — they land on the property in their browser and can start chatting before they even download the app. When they're ready, one tap with Apple or Google Sign-In upgrades them into a permanent account. WHO USES IT • Real estate teams managing prospects and portfolios • Contractors and trades tracking job sites • Land brokers and dealmakers running pipelines • Property managers coordinating across buildings • Acquisition teams running cold outreach • Anyone whose work is tied to physical places SHARING THAT ACTUALLY WORKS Tap the share button on any pin. Send the link via text, email, or chat. The recipient sees the property + your message in their browser within seconds — no signup wall, no "download our app first" gate. They can reply right away. PRIVACY & CONTROL Your team's data stays with your team. Markers, conversations, and files are scoped to your team by default. Share links are explicit — you choose what to share and with whom. Mark conversations private until you're ready to collaborate. GREAT ON EVERY DEVICE iPhone, iPad, Safari on Mac. Open a property on your phone in the field, finish the conversation at your desk — same view, same thread, same map. — Free to download. Get started in under a minute.
