Arboriculture software · built by working arborists
A chart for every tree on the property — kept by the arborist, shared with the homeowner, one thread at a time. The whole record from your shirt pocket.
Where this is
I'm a working arborist, and I built this for my own practice. It runs my tree work today — the per-tree record, the assessments, the estimates and invoices my clients actually pay. It's earned real money, and my clients love it. That's the whole proof.
What's below is that product, shown in the open as it gets built — not a finished sign-up-and-go app yet. I'm growing it deliberately, with a small circle of arborists and builders who want to shape the tool while running their own practice.
So the door is an application, not a checkout. — David
One thread per tree
Every photo, every recommendation, every lab result, every invoice — a bubble in the tree's own thread. Your shorthand stays yours. Your client sees the polished version. The thread is the record.
Same thread, every screen
Same property record. Same per-tree thread. Same audience filter. Nothing to sync, nothing to install — your data lives in the cloud, your work lives on whichever surface you have in your hand.
Visit mode
Camera + voice forward, text last. Three taps per tree — shutter, voice, condition, next. End-of-visit, every capture publishes into its tree's thread. One-handed, glove-friendly. The fastest spring walk you've ever done.
Get paid in the conversation
Send an estimate as a bubble. Client approves with a tap. Invoice lands in the thread with every way you already get paid — Zelle, Venmo, check, card. They tap, they pay you direct.
Other tree-service software wants to be your payment processor — they custody your client's payment and skim a percentage off the top before sending you what's left. ArbKeep never touches the money. Your payment rails, your terms, your full revenue. We just move the bubble.
AI
Snap three photos — whole tree, bark, branch detail. Get a species ID with confidence rating, location-aware (USDA zone), season-aware, region-aware. It cross-references all three photos. If they don't agree, it downgrades confidence and tells you why.
Health
Photo of a symptom → diagnosis with severity, category, and a recommended action. Seasonal-aware (no "spray dormant oil in July"). Regional-aware (no EAB warnings in Texas). Every diagnosis and treatment is a bubble in the tree's thread — longitudinal health record from photo one.
From field to finished
Tap Generate Report. Your field notes, photos, and findings become a print-ready PDF or Word doc — field notes carried through alongside polished prose. Your name, your logo. Earn a cert — your documents upgrade automatically.
Want to see what one actually looks like? Pick your tier — I'll send you a real sample. — David
The record outlasts everyone
Property sells? The tree history stays — ready for the next owner, the next arborist, or the next insurer who asks. Decades of photos, assessments, recommendations, and lab results, anchored to the parcel forever.
