Utility mapping, digital 811 dig tickets, 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
Six tools, one habit: 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.
Point the camera at the pick and Dig It draws the swing zone in AR. 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.
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 1987. 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 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 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. Data syncs to the site server when connectivity returns — never the other way around.
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.
“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 it. He narrates the tour, answers questions, and reads the evidence out loud so the crew doesn't have to squint.
Dig It is in private TestFlight with a pilot contractor. Request access for your crews — or just come argue with Rusty about trench boxes.
