Field operations software built for every responder on duty.

ResponderOS is the field operations suite for fire, EMS, and law enforcement — from the crew cab to command. Built on shift, refined between calls, designed around the work that actually happens during a shift.

On shift
Built by an active captain
Why this exists

Built between calls. Not in a conference room.

Every existing platform in public safety was designed by retired chiefs and software people who left the line years ago. ResponderOS is built by a EMS Captain who's still on shift and who understands the realities of the modern job. The difference isn't about seniority, but rather timing. When a feature feels off in the field on Tuesday, it gets fixed by Thursday.

This work stands on the shoulders of the chiefs and officers who trained the rest of us; many of whom built the doctrine, the policies, and the muscle memory line officers rely on every shift. What's different here is that the architect is still in the seat.

01

Built around the shift, not the desk.

Counseling logs, station visits, fleet checks, scene documentation — every workflow shaped by what responders actually carry into a 24, not what looks tidy on a Gantt chart.

02

Local‑first. Yours, not ours.

Personnel data stays inside your org. iOS‑native, with admin‑invited access, role‑based permissions, audit trails, and full data export. No vendor lock‑in, no surprise pricing.

03

From individual, to crew, to agency.

Start as a single crew member or captain organizing your own shift. Upgrade to org licensing when leadership is ready.

What's in the suite

Twenty-seven modules, one crew's workflow.

Each module replaces a binder, a clipboard, or a notes app responders are quietly using to stay above water. Start with one; the rest stay out of your way until you need them. Tap any module to see what's inside.

01 People The personnel side of operations: performance, growth, documentation, and organizational learning.
PersonnelKit
Evaluations, counseling sessions, mentoring touchpoints, probationary tracking. The paper trail every leader knows they should keep.
TrainingKit
Station microtraining, crew drills, signoffs, and shift-level assignments. Know who's current, who's lapsing, and where the gaps are.
WellnessKit
Exposure tracking, injury follow‑up, shift pulse surveys, personal wellness trends. Catches what falls between shift, EAP, and command.
LeadershipKit
Coaching logs, passovers, conversation prep, team dynamics, reference materials. Captures the daily leadership work that never makes the record.
KnowledgeKit
Near misses, lessons learned, after‑action reviews, safety reviews. Three-tier anonymity lets crews speak freely without it going straight to command.
TaskKit
Personal tasks, supervisor-assigned work, direct-report delegation, subtasks, and acknowledgement tracking. One list for everything you're accountable for this shift.
MIHKit
Community paramedicine referral management: 4-step intake wizard, case queue, longitudinal care timeline, outcome tracking, and org-defined care templates.
02 Operations — Running the shift: facilities, staffing, and apparatus, with the rhythm of a 24 baked in.
StationKit
Visits, inspections, deficiencies, readiness checks. Replaces the binder of station forms with searchable records and trend visibility.
ShiftKit
Staffing rosters, callbacks, availability, overtime, holdovers, accountability. Built around the rhythm of a 24, not a 9‑to‑5.
FleetKit
Apparatus inspections, gripes, OOS status, service records. Daily checks in seconds; deficiencies and damage reports that don't get lost.
PlannerKit
Station events calendar with approval workflow, personal planner, recurring task builder with carryover logic, and a Today focus view. The station calendar and your personal shift plan in one place.
StaffingKit
Operational staffing verification: role-aware daily roster, 8-status discrepancy model, Message of the Day, member daily dashboard, and post-lock edit audit trail.
ScheduleKit
Shift scheduling engine: platoon cycles, shift templates (24/48, 24/72, Kelly), member assignments, leave requests, shift trades, open shifts, and OT management.
PayrollKit
Timekeeping, manual time entry, supervisor approval queue, and pay period lifecycle management. The foundation for compliant payroll reporting without a separate system.
03 Field — Scene‑side work: clinical tools, pump operations, incident management, and responder safety.
SceneKit
PumpOps, Firefighter Tools, Technical Rescue Tools, and more. Job aids and calculator tools for the responder doing the work — not writing the report.
CommandKit
Incident management suite: resource tracking, sector assignments, patient log, benchmarks, span of control. Built by someone who runs them.
MedKit
Protocols, drip calculators, clinical pearls, medication reference. A robust field clinical reference for EMS and fire‑based providers.
RehabKit
Rehab sector vitals, rotation tracking, return‑to‑work clearance. A safety record for every member who cycles through the sector.
PrePlanKit
Pre-incident building intelligence: Planning Mode for full surveys and Operations Mode for fast tactical read on arrival. Hazard flags, fire protection, utilities, access routes, and building markers.
InspectorKit
Commercial occupancy inspections, deficiency tracking, risk flags, configurable templates, inspection timeline, and repeat violation detection with risk intelligence analytics.
AirKit
Aerial intelligence: flight missions, aircraft registry, live Mapbox map workspace, real-time telemetry, HLS video feeds, zones, markers, SAR tools, and safety checklists.
MarineKit
Maritime incident coordination: shoreline search sectors, sonar pass and contact tracking, dive ops with neuro checks, vessel tracking, live map, hazard markers, and mission timeline.
TacticalKit
SWAT and tactical ops planning: op plans, team and operator management, K9, equipment, vehicles, medical plan, QRF, tactical map, mission timeline, and briefing export.
04 Infrastructure — The org‑level layer: visibility for leadership, plumbing for everyone else.
AnalyticsKit
KPIs, trends, system health, exception reporting. The view chiefs want, without bothering the captain on duty for it.
LicenseKit
Annual seat licensing, support packages, train‑the‑trainer sessions, custom implementation. Purchasing and account management in-app.
AdminKit
Org configuration, role‑based permissions, invitations, audit logging. The plumbing every agency needs and nobody wants to think about.
CommsKit
Messaging, broadcast notifications, group threads, operational info flow. The channel your crews actually check, with chief‑grade audit trails.

Field notes — from the shift.

Updated between calls
May 14 · A‑Shift
Quick‑counsel template went live. Last week a difficult shift‑change conversation reminded me how clunky the existing one was — three taps and a free‑text field. It's now one tap with a structured prompt for the four things that matter.
May 8 · A‑Shift
Reworked station visit deficiencies. The flow used to require you to acknowledge the visit, then separately open a deficiency record, then attach the photo. It's now one screen — deficiency optional, photos batched. Spent the second half of shift on it.
Apr 30 · C‑Shift
Probationary touchpoint reminder fires earlier now. The 90‑day evaluation reminder used to fire on day 90. That's too late — coaching needs to happen before the cliff, not at it. Reminder now fires 7 days prior and again at 24 hours.
Apr 22 · B‑Shift
Wellness exposure logging supports retroactive entries. Sometimes you don't realize an exposure happened until after the call — the smell on the gear, the cough the next morning. Retroactive entries with a "noticed on" timestamp now supported, separately tracked from incident time.
Who's building this

A captain writing software for the line.

I'm a EMS Captain and Army veteran. Most of what's in ResponderOS was sketched on the bay floor between calls, refined during a counseling session that ran long, or rewritten after a station visit didn't go the way I'd planned.

It exists because the tools available to front‑line responders haven't kept up with what we actually do — and because I needed it for my shift tomorrow. The people I trained under built the doctrine I rely on. What I bring to this is different: I'm still in the seat. When something feels off in the field on Tuesday, it gets fixed by Thursday.

If you're an active firefighter, medic, line officer, BC, or program admin, reach out. I'd rather hear from someone who's running a shift this weekend than a procurement office that hasn't.

For the individual responder

Start solo. Join the org when ready.

The Individual subscription brings a core set of ResponderOS tools directly to a single responder with no agency license required. Built for the firefighter, medic, or officer who's ready to get organized before their administration is.

The 30-Day Challenge

Use it for a month. If it's not worth $4.99, I'll refund it myself.

Download the app, use it genuinely for 30 days. If at the end of that month you don't find at least $4.99 of value — a conversation documented, a checklist completed, a deficiency that didn't fall through the cracks — email me. I'll send the refund personally and use your feedback to fix whatever fell short.

No support tickets. No forms. One email to me directly. I built this and I use it every shift. I'm confident enough in it to put my own money behind it.

This offer is for the responder willing to put in the 30 days, not kick the tires for five minutes and move on.
