Why Sentinel?
Most networks still manage upkeep with spreadsheets, paper and group chats. Sentinel brings it all together — and runs the operation behind your trails.
Report an issue in the field, assign it, inspect your structures and produce your reports — on mobile and at the desk. One platform for managers, teams and volunteers.

Everything Sentinel brings together in one place
From an issue flagged in the field to a report for your board — your maintenance operations on a single platform, online or off.
Geolocated tasks
Every issue becomes a located task, with photos, priority and assignment.
Structures & inspections
Inventory bridges, culverts and signs; inspect them with your own forms.
Projects & campaigns
Group dozens of tasks into phases to run your worksites and seasons.
Time tracking
Log hours by task, by person and by team — volunteers included.
Team discussions
Photos, voice notes and mentions attached to each task or structure.
Field app & reports
Work offline in the field, export official PDF reports.
What about apps like Trailforks or AllTrails?
Discovery apps
They help the public find your trails: maps, reviews, photos, community.
Sentinel
It runs your network: plan, assign, inspect, maintain, report.
The two are complementary — many managers use a public directory and Sentinel. Your trail conditions can even appear on your own website through an embeddable widget.
