The field workflow

The day gets logged before it disappears.

Rope Access Logbook is built around the work: quick entries, signed records, gear state, NDT notes, and exports that can survive a skeptical review.

Open the app. Finish the shift.

The Today view keeps current hours, draft work, queued signatures, and next actions in one place.

Signatures stay attached.

Capture who signed, what they reviewed, and the entry state at the moment of approval.

Sealed means sealed.

Once an entry is signed, corrections become amendments instead of silent edits.

What changed

Less paperwork. More evidence.

01

Offline by default

Write entries from the trailer, tower, or platform. The device database is the source of truth; cloud backup is optional.

02

Signatures that travel

Capture a signature on your phone or send a one-time remote link when the supervisor is no longer beside you.

03

Export without cleanup

Hours, signatures, chain state, gear, and supporting records are ready to hand over when assessment or audit time arrives.

Tamper-evident proof

A signed entry becomes part of the chain.

Corrections are amendments, not silent edits. Every signed entry folds in the previous hash, so the record can be checked instead of merely trusted.

Draft

Capture the work

Site, method, hours, height, notes, photos, gear, and NDT context get written while the details are still fresh.

status: draft
required_fields: complete
Sign

Witness the entry

The signer reviews the actual entry, not a loose summary. Their signature seals a canonical version of the record.

signature: R. Calloway
hash: a3f9c1e4d702

Keep the trail intact

If a signed entry changes later, every following link shows the break. That is the point.

#0147 -> #0146 -> #0145
chain_valid: true

Remote signing

When the signer leaves site, the record does not stall.

Send a one-time signing link. The supervisor reviews the entry, signs from their phone, and the completed signature syncs back into your chain.

1

Create request. Choose the finished entry and the signer expected to witness it.

2

Signer reviews. The link opens the real entry details before signature, including the work and hours.

3

Sync it back. The completed signature lands in the same tamper-evident history.

Hard questions

Go ahead — poke holes.

A logbook app deserves skepticism. The record is your career. Straight answers to the questions people actually ask:

Is this an official SPRAT or IRATA logbook?+

No — and we won't pretend otherwise. Your paper logbook remains the official record for certification. Rope Access Logbook is independent software built for audit-readiness: a signed, tamper-evident record of your hours that doesn't fade, tear, or get left in a truck. It backs your paper book; it doesn't replace it.

Why would an auditor trust an app over ink on paper?+

They don't have to trust it — they can check it. Every signed entry is hashed, and every signature folds in the hash of the signature before it. Change one field after the fact and the chain stops verifying. Ink can be altered quietly; this can't be.

Couldn't I just type in fake hours?+

You can write fake hours in a paper book too — a logbook has always been claims plus a supervisor's signature. The difference here is that the signature is bound to the exact content of the entry at the moment of signing. What the app removes is the quiet after-the-fact edit, which is where padded logbooks actually come from.

I made a mistake in a signed entry. Now what?+

You amend it — a new entry that points back at the original, with both kept in the record. Same discipline as a corrected paper logbook: cross out and initial, never erase. A record that can be silently rewritten isn't worth signing.

My supervisor won't sign on someone else's phone.+

They don't have to. Send a one-time signing link and they review and sign from their own phone in a browser — no app install, no account. If they leave site before your paperwork is done, the record doesn't stall.

What about zero signal on site?+

The app is offline-first. Logging, on-device signing, gear records, and exports all work with no connectivity. Only remote-signing links and cloud backup need a connection, and both catch up when you're back in coverage.

What happens to my hours if I stop paying — or you disappear?+

Your records live in a database on your device — the source of truth is local, not our servers. Cloud backup is a convenience on top, and every export is a file you keep. Your career history shouldn't be hostage to any company's uptime, including ours.
