Capture. Look. Share.

Everything Scope does is one of three steps — and the whole loop takes less time than opening a GIS.

1 · CAPTURE

Get it in from anywhere

Double-click a file, hit ⌘V on copied geometry, drop a folder, paste an ArcGIS or Parquet URL, connect PostGIS — or click a feature on any Esri web map and hit “Send to Scope.”

2 · LOOK

See it instantly

Quick Look and Spotlight answer before the app even opens. When it does: the map, every attribute, measurements, and annotations — no project, no setup.

3 · SHARE

Hand it to anyone

Export GeoJSON, KML, CSV, or GPX. Save a PNG of the map. Or copy a share link that opens in any browser — nothing uploaded, the map lives in the link.

The browser extension is the front door, the share link is the back door — Scope is the two seconds in between.

Built for five-minute tasks

Not every map needs a project. Sometimes you just need to —

Inspect a dataset

Feature count, geometry types, CRS at a glance.

Measure a parcel

Click points for distance, then area. Save as a layer.

Annotate & export

Drop markers, draw, then export a clean PNG.

Verify geometry

Does the shape land where it should? See instantly.

Convert formats

GeoJSON, KML, CSV, GPX — read one, hand back another.

Share a map

One link opens in any browser. Nothing uploaded.

EVERY DAY

Open Scope.

The 30-times-a-day tasks. Look, measure, check, export. Two seconds to open, zero to think about.

WHEN YOU NEED IT

Open QGIS.

Heavy analysis, topology, processing models. Scope never tries to replace it — it just gets you there less often.

Like Preview and Acrobat. You know which one you open first.

Part of the Mac, not bolted on

The things macOS already does — for your geospatial files too.

Double-click

GeoJSON, Shapefile, GeoPackage, KML, GPX, CSV. It opens like any file should.

Quick Look

Press Space in Finder. See the map, feature count, and CRS — without opening anything.

Spotlight

Search "parcels." Spotlight already knows the count, geometry, and extent.

BROWSER EXTENSION

Send it straight from the browser.

Works with nearly every ArcGIS web app. Click a feature, choose "Send to Scope." Done.

THE CLIPBOARD IS THE TRANSPORT LAYER

Copy geometry anywhere. Paste it here.

Select in ArcGIS Pro, a PostGIS query, or QGIS and hit ⌘C. Switch to Scope, hit ⌘V. GeoJSON or WKT — it just lands on the map.

Everything, one keystroke away

Paste, measure, annotate, export, switch basemaps, connect to PostGIS, toggle a layer. Search it, run it, never touch the mouse.
