The Outdoor Task Manager Built for Real Sites

HydroTasks™ is a free, map-based project management tool for fisheries, farms, estates, country parks and conservation sites. Create projects, pin tasks to a map, work with your team, and find verified contractors, all from your phone.

Everything you need to manage outdoor sites

Designed from the ground up for managing land, water, and wildlife — by people who actually work outdoors.

Map-Based Task Pinning

Drop tasks directly onto a satellite or terrain map. Every job is geolocated — no more describing "the broken fence near the far bank". Tap the map, describe the task, assign it, done.

Multi-User Projects

Create a project, share a code, and your team joins instantly. Everyone sees the same tasks, features, and hazards in real-time. Works for 2 people or 20.

Hazard Markers

Pin safety hazards on the map — unstable banks, deep water, overhead cables, nesting sites. Your team sees them before they arrive on site.

Site Feature Drawing

Draw boundaries, paths, zones, and features directly onto the map. Mark planting areas, erosion zones, access routes, or fishing pegs — saved and shared with your whole team.

Photo Evidence

Attach photos to any task. Before/after shots, damage evidence, species sightings — geolocated and timestamped automatically.

Verified Contractors

When you create a task, HydroTasks recommends verified local contractors matched to the job type. Trust badges show their credentials at a glance.

Up and running in under a minute

No download required. HydroTasks is a Progressive Web App — it runs in your browser and works offline.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, completely. HydroTasks is free for all users — create unlimited projects, tasks, and team members. There are no paywalls, no trial periods, and no feature restrictions. Revenue comes from optional paid contractor listings, not from site managers.
No. HydroTasks is a Progressive Web App (PWA) — it runs in your browser at tasks.hydroscape-group.co.uk. On mobile, you can add it to your home screen for a native app experience with offline support. No app store needed.
Every project has a unique share code. Send the code to your team — they open HydroTasks, enter the code, and instantly join the project. Everyone sees the same map, tasks, hazards, and features in real-time, synced across all devices.
Yes. HydroTasks uses a service worker to cache the app shell so it loads even without signal. Tasks created offline will sync automatically when you reconnect. This is essential for remote fisheries, estates, and conservation sites with poor coverage.
When a site manager creates a task (e.g. "fencing repair"), HydroTasks automatically recommends verified local contractors who match that trade and are within range. Contractors apply via a simple form, upload their credentials, and Hydroscape verifies them. Verified contractors get green trust badges visible to all users. Listings start from free (Starter tier) with paid options for wider reach and priority placement.
Anything related to outdoor site management: erosion control, habitat restoration, infrastructure repair, planting, water management, fencing, health & safety, wildlife management, access improvements, compliance checks, and general maintenance. Each category has a matching icon and colour code on the map.
Yes. HydroTasks uses Firebase Authentication and Firestore with enforced security rules, so only members of a project can read or change that project's tasks, hazards, features and risk assessments. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest on Google Cloud infrastructure in the UK (London region). The app does call a few outside services to do its job: map tiles, a weather lookup for the centre of your project map, and Google reCAPTCHA for abuse protection. The Privacy Policy lists every one of them and what each receives. We do not sell your data and we do not pass it to advertisers.
They are part of the same ecosystem and do different jobs. HydroTasks is for task management: jobs, maintenance and contractor coordination. The Hydroscape biodiversity monitoring platform is where species records, water quality and the cormorant work live. The two share the same brand and the same sign-in infrastructure, so one account works across both.
