LifeRaft OSTM

Focused starting sets · optional modules

Tools for public work, built around the work.

Policy teams, data stewards, humanitarian groups, and independent publishers face different constraints. LifeRaft OS lets each team start with a small set of add-ons and expand only when a workflow calls for it.

Independently developed by Robert White / Realystic for his own projects and client work. These public-sector use cases do not imply government employment, sponsorship, or endorsement.

Available now and early testing

Three ways to put the pieces together

Each add-on has its own job. Links between them are optional. The Data Catalog, Evidence Register, and Field Briefs are early preview workbenches for testing; the other modules are listed with their current release stage on their detail pages.

Field conditions

Build for the connection you actually have.

A self-hosted installation can be prepared for local or isolated operation. Choose content, forms, directories, and reference modules to match the team and its access model. For journalists or aid workers in conflict settings, deployment, data handling, backups, and threat review need their own careful planning before real-world use.

What this first release covers

  • Private admin records for datasets, evidence, and field briefs
  • Owners, classifications, sources, review dates, and optional related links
  • JSON export for operator review and portability
  • Independent activation and optional connections to existing modules

This is an early testing set, not an accredited government records system or a safety guarantee for hostile environments.

On the design board

More field and offline tools to build

These are proposed add-ons, not features in the current preview. They would stay optional and useful across several verticals.

Offline Transfer Packs

Signed, reviewable content and configuration packages for moving approved material between isolated installations.

Consultation Desk

Structured public or internal consultations with moderation, evidence links, and exportable summaries.

Indicator Studio

Defined measures with sources, revision history, and publishing controls for policy reporting.

Policy review, dataset stewardship, offline publishing, and field coordination each call for different boundaries.
