GeoTeams

GeoTeams is not yet available for public sign-up. Email contact@austererisk.com to register your interest.

GeoTeams is built for teams who work where connectivity is unreliable and privacy matters — NGOs, field survey and exploration crews, security teams, and other distributed or colocated field operations. Create a team, invite members with an invitation and auth code, and keep working on phone or desktop whether you are online or not.

Why Teams Choose GeoTeams

Local-First And Offline

There is no separate “offline mode.” Your team workspace lives on the device and keeps working without a network. When you reconnect, changes sync automatically. Map tiles need to have been cached beforehand for map basemaps offline.

End-To-End Encrypted Sync

Team data is end-to-end encrypted. Sync relays only see ciphertext — not your tasks, maps, chats, or documents. Sign-in uses a recovery code you control (shown once at sign-up; restore it on a new device). No passkey cloud sync, and no team content is sent to billing systems.

Map And Comms On The Same Data

The team map and encrypted chat are views of your real team records — not separate silos. Pin points, shapes, and tracks on documents; open a thread on the same object for context. Optional location sharing shows teammates on the map when they choose to share.

Field Work, Not Busywork

Cross-team Inbox for action items and announcements. Customizable collections with table and board views, leads, due dates, nested work, recurring actions, and checklists. Personal notes stay private to you until you convert one into a team document. Team Handbook keeps procedures consistent. Global search works on local data, including offline.

Pricing

Business invoicing (B2B). Contact contact@austererisk.com for current rates. No card checkout in the product — teams are invoiced monthly.

Billing

GeoTeams billing is business-to-business. Team owners keep invoice details in team settings when ready; creating a team does not require billing fields. Invoices run on the first of each month. Teams created mid-month start on the following invoice cycle (first month free). Only billing metadata is used for invoices — team workspace content stays end-to-end encrypted and is never sent for billing or email.
