What for
Rescue from below and from above, fall protection. Shaft, excavation, tank, silo, training tower — wherever an exercise runs in phases and the phases have times.
Times that are right
One press on a large target writes the timestamp — at the moment it happens, not from memory in the evening. Big enough for gloves, with a double-tap guard.
Photos in their place
Taken from within the page, on the timeline at the minute they were made — not where the file dialog finally came back.
Split times
“Start to anchor set”, “safety check to 1st rescuer over the edge”. They show where the time went, not just that it went.
Two assessors
Edge and shaft record separately; afterwards both logs are merged into one — with the clock offset set by hand, because two phones rarely agree.
Without a network
Open it once where there is reception. After that everything works down the shaft: recording, photographing, reviewing, producing the report.
Competition
Target times per mark, deviation in the review, and a comparison across all teams and stations of a rope rescue award.
Supplied
- Rope rescue — from below. Shaft, excavation, tank, silo
- Rope rescue — from above.
- Fall protection.
- Free exercise — no fixed marks, everything is recorded as you go
- Plus a collection of stations of a rope rescue award that can be created as your own templates at the press of a button
Marks can be added, renamed and deleted; an adjusted preparation is saved as your own template and passed on to the other assessors.
What it is not
A record, not a monitoring system. No breathing-apparatus monitoring, no safety function for the crew down the shaft. Nothing on which life depends directly may hang on a browser window staying open.
What it looks like
Four views on the phone — that is where the tool is used, not at a desk.
PDF: your own letterhead — and what is changing
The finished document is the PDF: set on the server, so that the sheet looks the same everywhere — with timeline, split times, photos and confirmation sheet.
Your own letterhead
The brigade can store its own letterhead as a PDF. It is placed underneath every page — the brigade’s header, logo and footer, plus an adjustable text area so that the text does not run into the letterhead. It is stored once on the start page and then applies to every tool in this browser.
On the shared installation the file stays in the brigade’s browser and is sent along only for the individual print job; it is not stored there. A self-hosted installation can instead keep its letterhead permanently on the server.
Announced: the PDF will come fully under the licence
Today the PDF is produced without a key too — as a sample print, watermarked and without the confirmation sheet. In a coming version the PDF output as a whole will be reserved for the licence.
What stays free: recording, reviewing, comparing and the complete backup in the archive — the recording itself belongs to the brigade and can be taken off the device at any time. The finished document, ready for signature, is then the service the licence stands for.
The date is not fixed yet; the change will be announced here and in the changelog beforehand. Anyone who already holds an instructor licence will notice nothing.
What it costs
Recording, reviewing, comparing and backing up work without a key. Without an activated key the PDF is produced as a sample print, watermarked and without the confirmation sheet.
One key, both tools
The instructor licence (€199 a year) unlocks the performance record and the Rope Rescue Exercise Log together — not per tool, not per person, but for the whole instructor group. Whoever teaches both pays once.
It covers both tools in every respect — including the PDF output, once that comes fully under the licence (see above).
Where the data lives
In the browser, nowhere else. No account, no sign-in, no upload. The way to another device is a file that you pass on yourself.
One exception, and it is your decision: pressing Create PDF sends the log of that one run to the server, which sets the document and returns it. Nothing is stored there. Anyone who does not want even that does without the PDF; the recording itself never leaves the device.
The browser storage is the only copy. After a day that counts, the backup in the archive is part of the routine — as much a matter of course as making the kit ready again.
Contributors
The rope rescue part of this tool was developed substantially with Axel Manz. The exercise types, the quick marks and the sequences the timing follows come from rope rescue practice.
Trying it costs nothing
No sign-in, no account. Create a test exercise, press three marks, end it, produce the report — four minutes.
