About Patchly
Know the ground you're working.
Patchly is the all-in-one gold prospecting and metal detecting app for exploring and understanding the goldfields. It puts the layers that matter on one map and records where you have been and which detector you used.
PRIVACY
Patchly asks for no account, runs no server that stores or processes your field history, and does not track you. Your sessions, finds, photos and Stash live in a plain database on your phone that you can export any time. Optional backups and exports go only to storage you choose. Map and content downloads still use network services.
MAPS AND RESEARCH
• 100+ curated layers and growing: geology, geochemistry, tenements, land access, terrain, historic activity and more
• Tenements refresh nightly, so leases, applications and expiries are current
• Bare-earth LiDAR relief for New South Wales, Queensland and Tasmania, with Victoria as a separate add-on
• Stacks: build your own layer setups with per-layer filters, and switch between saved maps in a tap
• Custom layers: bring your own GeoTIFFs and map services into a Stack
• 3D terrain: tilt and exaggerate the ground to read its shape
• Section 40E permit builder for Western Australia, with Form 1A export
• Offline search for places and watercourses
FIELD RECORDING AND NAVIGATION
• Smart classification: Patchly works out which parts of a session were travelling, detecting or stopped
• Logbook+ draws detecting as lines or as Coverage, the honeycomb of how hard a patch has been worked
• Record a session and see where you detected, and which detector was active for that section
• Off-road go-to and multi-stop routes, by bearing, distance and ETA
• Finds by type, size and condition, and pins with icons for camps, vehicles, water and hazards
• Logbook Editor: edit tracks, finds, pins and shapes on the map, draw lines and areas, and reclassify travelling, detecting or stopped by hand
• Recording setup checklist: keep a session running all day
• Nametag: sign on to the Palmerville camp board from your phone, no more trips to the office
RECORDS AND GOLD
• Logbook: filter and sort every session, inspect it, and return to the exact ground
• Stash: track nuggets, specimens, bars and coins in a simple or purity-aware mode, valued at the live gold price
• Overview and Calendar: totals, value, categories, daily hauls and season statistics
• Add photos to finds and pins, and link a find to its Stash item
OFFLINE, BACKUP AND SYNC
• Offline regions: download an area's satellite and layers, and keep working out of range
• Automatic backup of records, photos, Stash, detectors and Stacks to your own iCloud Drive or Google Drive
• Sync your Logbook between your phones and tablets, through your cloud or straight over Wi-Fi
• Guided imports for Trilobite CSV, Detector Maps KML and Gaia GPS, plus generic GPX, KML and KMZ
• Share .patchly files for Stacks, sessions, finds, pins and shapes

Latest updates
2.0.1
Faster sync, clearer Library rows and main roads back on the satellite map.
- Faster sync between your devices.
- Library rows start with the state.
- Clearer Gold Potential and land tenure layers.
- Main roads show again on the satellite map.
- Smaller fixes to Wi-Fi sync, pairing and the Stack editor.
2.0
Sync your Logbook between your own devices, edit it right on the map, and bring your own maps into a Stack.
- The Logbook syncs between your own devices. Turn on Sync in Settings, under General. It runs through your own iCloud Drive or Google Drive, or straight over Wi-Fi with another phone or a tablet, with no account and no Patchly server.
- iPhone can back up to Google Drive as well as iCloud Drive.
- The Logbook Editor edits one record or many at once on the map. Move, convert, comment on or remove tracks, finds, pins and shapes, paint which detector was used along a track, and reclassify a stretch of track as Travelling, Detecting or Stopped by hand.
- Custom layers bring your own maps into a Stack. Import a GeoTIFF or add a map service from the Library.
- Nametag signs you on to the Palmerville camp board from your phone. No more trips to the office to move your magnet.
- Finds can record their weight and depth.
- Bundles keep themselves up to date.
- Geology can show gold ground alone.
- A more polished look and feel throughout Patchly. Smoother sheets, clearer screens and search, and High-Vis brightens more of the map.
- The map stays responsive when switching base maps, at launch and while panning.
- Smaller fixes across sharing, the guided tours, small screens, base-map names and imperial units.
1.3.1
Opening a layer in the Library no longer freezes Patchly on some iOS versions.
