FieldStack is an offline field workspace for construction plan PDFs. Import the drawings without changing the original files, search every page for a room or sheet in seconds, and build a board of just the sheets a task needs. It is built for job sites with bad or no internet. SEARCH EVERY PAGE Type a room number, sheet title, or any word. FieldStack searches every page of every plan and opens the page right at the match. BUILD THE BOARD Pull the sheets a task needs into one board and arrange them your way. Press and hold a sheet to move it, set the columns, or remove sheets. The full PDF stays readable. MARK UP IN LAYERS Draw on any page in named layers like As-built, Coordination, or Punch list. Show one, some, or all, and draw on one while the rest stay in view. Markup shows on every board with that page. TRACK STATUS ON THE PLAN Place marks on a board and set them Open, In Progress, Blocked, or Done, with Urgent on top. Filter to what still needs you and keep every mark and note in one list. NOTEBOOKS Place plan pages, photos, shapes, and symbols side by side, and connect them. SIRI, SEARCH, AND WIDGETS Ask Siri to search FieldStack, find sheets from Home Screen search, and open a board, a plan set, or search from a widget. BRING THE PLANS Import source PDFs without changing the originals in Files. FieldStack does not require an account, a team workspace, or a subscription. Optional tips support continued development and unlock nothing. The reviewed interface supports English, French, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese.
