Collabbit is...
Built with you, for you
Emergency Managers are involved in every stage of the Collabbit development process. We constantly receive and incorporate feedback from our users. We're committed to working with you to make Collabbit as good as possible.
Focused
Collabbit is simple. We do a few things very well rather than trying to solve every problem. We want anyone—regardless of technical background or expertise—to be able to be use Collabbit without extensive training.
Free and open
Collabbit is free and open source software. You can download, review, use, and change Collabbit however you want at no cost. Our priority is to give you ownership of your incident data with easy imports and exports. Collabbit plays nice with other tools—we don't want you locked into Collabbit (or any other software, for that matter).
