Read full description

Tree Inventory AI turns a phone camera into a complete tree-inventory workflow for arborists, landscapers, and property managers. Walk a property, capture each tree, and the app identifies the species, estimates measurements, and assesses health and risk. Photos are annotated with professional markup tools so every report is crew-ready the moment you leave the site. KEY FEATURES Species Identification • Capture a photo, get common name and scientific name in seconds • Confidence scoring so you know when to verify manually • Works across hundreds of species Field Measurements • DBH (diameter at breast height), height, and canopy spread from a single photo • GPS-tagged inventory with a satellite map view of every tree • Rapid capture mode for dense sites Health & Risk Assessment • Condition rating (Good / Fair / Poor / Dead) • Hazard rating with defect and risk notes • Actionable recommendations on every tree Photo Markup • Draw, circle, arrow, text, and numbered pins directly on photos • Save as a new copy or update the original — your clean photo stays clean • Marked-up photos flow straight into reports for crews Property Reports • One-tap PDF generation with cover, summary, risk matrix, and a page per tree • Shareable links for customers and clients • CSV export for downstream systems Offline Mode • Capture without cell service — photos and data sync when you're back online • Critical for rural sites and bad coverage Multi-Customer Workspace • Organize by customer, job site, and individual tree • Team members share one org with role-based access Who it's for: arborists running tree assessments, landscaping companies managing inventories, HOAs and property managers tracking risk, city arborists and municipal foresters, and anyone who needs to know what's on a property. treeinventory.ai

About

Crownwise

Features
Read full description

Crownwise is a field tool for qualified tree risk assessors. Record a Level 2 assessment on site, and leave with the report already written. WRITTEN ON SITE, NOT AT THE KITCHEN TABLE A Level 2 assessment is thirty minutes of looking and two hours of typing. Crownwise removes the second part. You record each tree, judge the parts and targets you can see, and the report assembles itself as you go. HOW IT WORKS 1. Start an assessment with the client, site and scope. 2. Add each tree: species, location, site conditions, health and structure. 3. For every part that could fail, record the target it could strike and judge the three inputs — likelihood of failure, likelihood of impacting the target, consequences of failure. 4. The rating appears immediately, with the matrix on screen so you can see where it came from. 5. Generate the report and send it before you get back to the truck. THE REPORT • Your letterhead: name, credentials, certification number and expiry • Your signature, drawn once and printed on every report • A summary table of every tree with its overall rating • Per part: the three inputs, the derived rating, and the matrix reproduced with your cell marked • Recommended work and timeframe • Assumptions and limiting conditions A rating whose derivation is invisible is not defensible. Crownwise prints the working. WORKS WHERE YOU WORK No signal required. Nothing in the assessment needs a connection — not the matrix, not the photographs, not the report. Under canopy, in a basement car park, on a rural verge: it behaves the same. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No account. No sign-up. No analytics. Everything you record stays on your device, and the only thing that ever leaves is the report you choose to share. There is no server holding your assessments. PHOTOGRAPHS ATTACHED TO FINDINGS The camera opens from inside the row you are recording, and the photograph is attached there and then. No matching a camera roll to findings afterwards. WHAT CROWNWISE IS NOT Crownwise does not perform tree risk assessment and does not give arboricultural advice. Every input is selected by you. The app applies published matrices to those inputs and assembles the result. The professional opinion in any report is yours, and you are responsible for it. It is a tool in the same sense that a calculator is a tool. Crownwise is an independent product. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by or certified by any professional body, standards organisation or certifying authority. PRICING The first three reports are free and complete — no watermark, no trial clock. After that: • Monthly: $39.99 • Annual: $349.99 (saves 27%) Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed in your Apple ID settings.
