Tools for people who work in the field under pressure.
Metis Dynamics is a small, founder-led technology company. We build rugged, self-contained tools for search and rescue teams, public safety and law enforcement agencies, fire and EMS, military units, and individual field workers.
Why we exist
The people doing the hardest work are often stuck with the worst tools.
Too expensive. Too complicated. Locked behind subscriptions. Dependent on cell service and an IT department that a small team does not have.
We build tools that just work: simple to deploy, resilient when networks fail, private by design, and priced for small budgets.
Principles
Works offline
Every tool survives a lost connection. No single point of failure.
Simple under stress
Designed to be usable by a stressed operator with little or no training.
Private
No ads and no tracking. Data stays with the user or the agency.
Honest pricing
No product requires a subscription. Prices a small budget can meet.
Field-ready hardware
Rugged equipment, built to keep cost down.
Only what is needed
Build the necessary thing, make it reliable, and leave out the rest.
The founder
Metis Dynamics was founded by a working public safety professional and former U.S. Marine Corps intelligence analyst.
He builds the tools he wished he had in the field, and he still does the work those tools are for.
Metis Dynamics is an independent company. It is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, any government agency or military service.
The name
Metis is the Greek figure of practical wisdom and cunning intelligence.
That is the standard we hold the work to: think from first principles, build only what is needed, and make it reliable.
