Field Survey Work from Home app for Android description
Your field logbook, on your phone - build any survey, powered by your device.
- Fits almost any field survey — define your own sections and variables with a simple template
- Let your device do the work — automatic timestamps, one-tap GPS, and photos attached right to each record
- Capture once, export clean — your data goes straight into an accurate, analysis-ready spreadsheet
- Private by default — your data stays on your device, no account or third-party cloud required
How it works
- Get a template — a .yaml file that defines your surveys structure
- Import it — paste a URL, scan a QR code, or open a local file
- Collect data in the field — quickly log each new observation
- Export when done — get an XLSX or ODS spreadsheet for analysis

Design your own survey
Field Survey runs on templates you define, so it fits almost any survey:
- Organized into sections — build your survey from sections that nest parent-to-child, each holding its own variables
- Variable types — Text, Int, Float, Boolean, Date / Time / DateTime, Option, OptionCount (count per option), Map (location, path, polygon), Photo, Markdown (with more types on the way)
- Deeply configurable — adjust both sections and variables to fit your exact workflow (full list in the guide)

Permissions
Field Survey only asks for what a feature needs:
- Internet — to load map tiles and import templates from a link
- Location — to show your current position on the map
- Camera — to take photos for photo variables
- Photos & storage — to attach images and save your exported spreadsheets
Whats next
Planned ideas include more variable types, multiple languages, iOS support, and optional sync to your own server.
This is a solo project — your feedback and support help these arrive sooner.
