A flooded river crossing, no signal, and a phone that "synced" half a dataset. We figured field software should assume the network is the exception, not the rule.
Clearfield is a small, self-funded team based in Amsterdam, with field testers across three continents. We ship slowly and on purpose — every release is dogfooded on a real survey before it reaches you. We don't sell your data, we don't run ads, and we keep exports in open formats so you're never stuck.
Our priorities, in order: don't lose data, don't corrupt data, don't get in the way.
Co-founder, ex-survey lead. Owns the capture and validation side.
Co-founder, GIS & backend. Builds the sync engine and exports.
