Cairn by International Mapping

Data with a sense of place.

Cairn keeps your tables live, puts every row on a map and builds the app around them. Cairn for desktop brings Scout, its assistant, to your own computer: real web apps in real folders, with Node, npm and dev servers, published to Cairn when you want them online.

The one-minute film. Made with Cairn: every frame is code.

Stack your data. Map your world. Ship the app.

  1. 01 Bases

    One home for every table.

    Connect PostGIS, SQL Server, Airtable, NocoDB or any GeoJSON feed. Kept in sync on a schedule, or the instant it changes. Typed fields, shared views and live cursors; every change logged, every change undoable.

  2. 02 Maps

    Every row has a place.

    Points, lines and polygons on a live map, linked to the grid both ways.

  3. 03 Studio

    Describe it. Scout builds it.

    Ask for a dashboard, a story map or a field app. Scout reads your base and writes real code: React, MapLibre, ArcGIS — files you own, on your data.

  4. 04 Publish

    Ship it with one click.

    Hosted at its own address. Public or private, every version kept, roll back any time.

  5. 05 Open

    Every table is an API.

    Feature services for ArcGIS® and desktop GIS, GeoJSON and vector tiles for web maps, MCP for AI agents, a realtime feed and fifteen export formats — with keys and roles built in.
