Utility mapping, 811 dig tickets, OSHA safety, compliance answers, quality control, and crane safety — in one offline-first iOS app. Built by people who've stood in the trench.
Rusty · Field Co-pilot
Dig It never says “you're safe to dig.” It says: here's the evidence — the ticket, the risk score, the checklist, and the signoff trail.The product principle · everything below is built on it
One habit, every tool: before the bucket drops, the crew sees the ticket, the colors, the checklist, and the score. No guesswork dressed up as confidence.
Gas in yellow, electric in red, comms in orange — the full APWA standard rendered on a live site map, with AI-suspected lines flagged separately so nobody confuses a guess with a locate.
Drafting an 811 ticket takes one tap from the dig polygon. Then Dig It tracks what actually matters: which utilities have responded, which haven't, and when your window closes.
The pre-excavation checklist walks OSHA 1926.651 and 1926.652 item by item — and gates the dig until it's done. Finished checklists carry a signature and a GPS stamp, not a verbal “we're good.”
Every dig area gets a risk score built from visible factors — utility density, ticket status, soil, weather, history. Cross the stop-work threshold and Dig It says stop. It never says go.
Dig It renders the swing zone to scale in AR — map-calibrated today, with a live-camera overlay on the roadmap — and live UWB tracking shows where every badged rigger is standing, inside or outside the line, in real time.
Every ticket, checklist, score, and signoff rolls up into an RFI-grade PDF — generated on the phone, signed by the client, filed before the crew leaves the gate.
Dig It started at the trench. It now carries the whole field day — code answers, OSHA references, quality control, and crew wellness — on the same offline-first spine, held to the same evidence-first principle.
A field-grade assistant for excavation, OSHA, permit, and confined-space questions — and it cites the actual source every time. Set your jurisdiction and it scopes to your AHJ. It reasons on-device with Apple Intelligence and answers from a cited code corpus, so it still works at the bottom of the hole.
Thirteen OSHA-accurate topics with nine hand-drawn schematics: trench cross-sections, sloping by soil type, egress, shields, atmospheric limits, confined space. Every number cites the standard it came from.
A full QC suite: three-phase inspections, punch lists, observations, daily logs, and a Lean make-ready board for constraints and zone readiness. Failed inspection items spin up punch items automatically — and AI drafts the resolution.
Seven construction-specific warm-up routines with on-device body-tracking form coaching — green-first, never shaming. Finish one, earn WoW points. Timer-only mode for when the camera isn't welcome.
The surfaces that don't need a screenshot to explain — they just need to be there when the day does.
Drop a pin and Dig It reads the jurisdiction, one-call center, and AHJ notes for the address — on-device first, enriched online when there's signal.
Author definable-features templates and generate certifiable preparatory, initial, and follow-up records for federal work.
Electrical conduit, steam, chilled water, medical gas, and pressurized systems — classified, condition-tracked, and scored for risk.
Field photos auto-group by CSI MasterFormat division, get marked up on the glass, and embed straight into the report.
Multiple worksites, scoped subcontractor roles, invite codes, and Sign in with Apple — every action attributed to a person.
Morning briefs and field Q&A on Apple FoundationModels — private by architecture, online-optional, with a deterministic fallback.
Rusty walks the whole site in seven stops — map, tickets, checklist, risk, crane — with his own commentary. Voice on or off, your call.
“I've been on jobsites since 1990. I'll show you what this app actually does, and I won't once tell you you're safe — that's not my job, and it's not the app's either.”
Dig It ships as a single-tenant build per General Contractor — your data, your branding, your rules. Run the pilot on your jobsite; your crews come next.
No shared database, no co-mingled projects. Each General Contractor gets a dedicated deployment — your sites, your tickets, your evidence chain, sealed off from everyone else's.
Invite subcontractors into your tenant with scoped roles and approval gates. They work inside your rules — every action attributed, every signoff gated by people you chose.
Tickets, checklists, scores, and signatures accumulate into an audit trail without anyone doing extra paperwork. When the inspector asks, the answer is already a PDF.
Built on the newest Apple stack, designed for the oldest jobsite problem: no signal, no patience, no room for error.
Line suggestions and field summaries run on the phone's neural engine. Private by architecture, working long after the signal dies.
The newest Apple design system, tuned for gloves, glare, and dust — legible at arm's length in full sun.
Ultra-wideband positioning and ARKit overlays put swing zones on the real world and riggers on the map — to the meter.
Everything works at the bottom of the hole, persisted on-device. Multi-crew sync to the site server — data flowing up when connectivity returns, never the other way around — rolls out next.
RFI-grade documents rendered on-device — evidence chain, signatures, and GPS stamps composed into a file the office can't argue with.
In the app he speaks through AVSpeech, fully offline. On this site he runs on Anthropic's Claude — same foreman, different wiring.
The copilot retrieves a harvested code corpus and answers with a citation to every source — on-device with Apple Intelligence, working offline. Cloud reasoning with Claude is on the roadmap.
Hybrid auth with Keychain-stored sessions and an optional Face ID app-lock — each General Contractor's data isolated to its own single-tenant build.
“I'm not here to tell you it's fine. I'm here to show you the ticket.”
Rusty is Dig It's field co-pilot — a galvanized old nail who's been stepped on, hammered sideways, and left out in the rain, and learned something from every one of them. He narrates the tour, answers questions, and reads the evidence out loud so the crew doesn't have to squint.
What ships today is on-device and offline-first. These are the surfaces we're building next — listed here so the line between shipped and planned stays as clear as the evidence trail.
Today Dig It drafts the ticket and tracks positive responses. Next: filing straight to the one-call center and ingesting their responses automatically.
Today every record persists on-device. Next: multi-device, multi-crew sync to your site server, with encrypted cloud backup of the evidence chain.
Today swing zones render to scale in a map-calibrated AR view. Next: a full live-camera ARKit overlay anchored to the real jobsite.
Today the copilot reasons on-device with Apple Intelligence. Next: optional cloud reasoning with Claude for heavier code questions when you're online.
