How it works
From first photo to years of history.
Three clear steps. No account setup, spreadsheet surgery, or mystery about where the records went.
Capture
Photograph the tree, save one GPS reading, and record its condition while you are standing there.
Map & revisit
Find numbered trees on the book map, open the exact record, and add dated observations over time.
Keep the book
Download a clean PDF tree book and a private backup ZIP that can move the complete collection.
Built for living records
Enough structure to know every tree.
ArborLibre stays close to the work: capture what is in front of you, find it again, and keep the history understandable.
Living histories
Keep a stable tree identity while conditions, measurements, notes, and consultations accumulate.
Photos & GPS
Capture field photographs and a location from the device in your hand—without background tracking.
Numbered tree map
See every located tree in the current book, with numbers and condition colors matching its record.
Separate books
Organize trees by property, campus, trip, client, or project without mixing the records together.
PDF tree books
Turn the current collection into a readable field report with photographs and recent observations.
Full ZIP backup
Move books, trees, histories, coordinates, and photographs together in one private export.
The whole book, on the ground
See where every recorded tree lives.
The numbered map matches the tree entries, carries their current condition colors, and opens the record with one tap.
- ✓ Fit every saved GPS point in the current book
- ✓ Separate good, monitor, and problem conditions
- ✓ Keep tree markers and records in your browser
Map tiles load from OpenStreetMap when you open Map. Exact links to Google Maps open only when you choose them.

ArborLibre is free and provided as-is. Keep current backups, verify important GPS points and reports, and use a certified arborist when tree health or safety matters.
Questions, answered
Before you begin.
The short version: it is free, local-first, and designed to stay out of the way while the tree record grows.
Is ArborLibre free?
Yes. ArborLibre is currently a free public beta.
Do I need an account?
No. Open the app and start a tree book without creating a profile or password.
Where are my tree records stored?
Your books, tree records, coordinates, and photographs are stored in browser storage on the device you are using. ArborLibre does not provide account-based cloud synchronization.
What happens if I clear browser data?
Clearing ArborLibre’s site data can permanently erase every local book, tree, observation, coordinate, and photograph. ArborLibre cannot recover them without a backup ZIP.
How do I move to another device?
Download a full backup ZIP on the original device, open ArborLibre on the new device, and restore or merge that ZIP from Settings.
Will an app update erase my books?
Routine code updates are designed to preserve browser-stored records. Keep a current backup before important changes, moving web addresses, or switching devices.
How accurate is the GPS location?
ArborLibre records the coordinates and accuracy estimate supplied by your device or ArborPuck connection. Signal, permissions, surroundings, and hardware all affect accuracy, so verify important locations.
Does ArborLibre replace an arborist?
No. ArborLibre documents observations; it does not certify tree health, identify hazards, guarantee species identification, or replace a certified arborist or site inspection.
