V1.0 / iOS / Field tools for rail

Field engineering tools
built for the track.

A focused iOS toolkit for Australian rail maintenance professionals. Twist, curve, gauge, ballast, destress — the calculations you run daily, in your pocket, referenced to ARTC, Brookfield CoP and more.

Tools
9 calculators

Nine calculators. One workflow.

Each tool is built around the checks and measurements rail maintenance crews actually run on the track — not generic civils math rebadged for rail.

Rail Profile Reference

Reference data for common AU rail profiles — 47kg, 50kg, 53kg, 60kg, 68kg — dimensions at your fingertips.

Scopes, photos, exports. No faff.

Rail Mate is designed around how inspections actually run — tool results get captured into scopes, photos attach to items, and the whole thing exports as a signed-off PDF.

Scope Management

Capture once, reuse everywhere

Every calculator result can be saved straight into an active inspection scope. Tag it with a location, add photos, annotate the reading. No re-keying results into a separate report later.

Photo Attachments

Visual evidence, attached

Capture photos from the camera or pull them from your library, attach them directly to scope items. Defects get documented as you go, with the measurement right alongside the image.

PDF Export

Ready-to-hand-over reports

Finalised scopes export as PDFs with your calculations, photos, and notes — ready to send to a supervisor, file with the job, or drop into your asset management system.

On-Device

Your data stays on your phone

No accounts. No sync. No cloud. Every scope, photo, and calculation is stored locally on your device. Works where the reception doesn't.

One-time unlock. No subscriptions.

Pay once for Pro, own it forever. No recurring charges, no tiered usage limits, no ads.
