Canvassing software that doesn't gouge your campaign.
The only app actually built so it's easy for canvassers and campaign managers. Made for municipal campaigns by a campaign manager who got sick of paying NationBuilder prices for software that dies in a stairwell.
Real screenshot, demo turfThe workhorse: an app volunteers don't need training on
These are real screenshots, not renders. Phone number in, doors on a map, one thumb-friendly sheet per knock, and your teammates' live GPS so nobody works a street alone.
Log in with a text
No passwords, no app store, no IT night. Volunteers get a code by text and they're knocking.
Every door, in walking order
The turf as a simple list, sorted the way you'd walk the block, with each door's status at a glance.
One sheet per knock
Tap an outcome, tap a support level, done. Signs, volunteers, and notes are one more tap.
Live map & teammate GPS
Colored pins for every door, plus Priya and Jordan moving on the map in real time.
"Why so cheap?" Because I'm holding a grudge.
You know the routine with campaign software: an entry price that balloons once you're locked in, per-seat charges for volunteers (volunteers!), add-ons for things that should be buttons, and an export fee to get your own data back.
Every dollar you give a software vendor is a dollar not spent on lawn signs.
DoorLine is free while it's in beta. After that it'll be priced to cover hosting and coffee. That's the whole business model, and honestly it's more of a vendetta.
What a month of field software costs
Take it for a spin
These charts run on sample campaign data, the same ones your team gets. Poke them.
Support distribution
Every answered door, bucketed 1–5. Know your base, find your persuadables.
Doors per week
Momentum you can screenshot into the group chat.
The leaderboard
Automatic. Merciless. Volunteers love it.
The nerdy part: your doors become a forecast
Most canvassing tools stop at counting knocks. DoorLine turns what happens at the door into two things campaigns actually argue about: how many votes you're on track for, and what people care about.
An election-day vote estimate, not a vibe
Every answered door gets a 1–5 support level. The model takes your ward's electorate and expected turnout, measures your 4–5 support rate (weighting recent weeks more heavily, because opinions move), assumes undecideds break the way decideds did, and projects the votes you'd bank if the election were today.
- ✓Recency-weighted support rate, so a rough June doesn't drown out a strong September.
- ✓A confidence band from week-to-week variance, honest about how sure it is.
- ✓Plotted against the win line (50% + 1 of expected votes cast), so the chart answers the only question that matters.
Electorate, expected voters, your base, the undecided break, and your projected tally versus the win line. Are you winning or vibing?
AI that reads the door notes so you don't have to
Canvassers scribble gold into the notes field ("worried about the arena project", "rent went up again") and it usually dies there. DoorLine's natural-language analysis reads every note and issue tag, builds an issue taxonomy specific to your campaign, and keeps it current as new doors come in.
- ✓See which issues dominate your ward, and which are rising month over month.
- ✓Steer it with plain-language instructions ("file potholes under road maintenance").
- ✓Personal information is stripped before any text is analyzed. Names, addresses, and contacts never leave your database.
What the ward actually cares about, and how it shifts over the campaign. Housing starting to spike? Now you know before your opponent does.
Volunteer knocking today?
No passwords, no app store. Your phone number and a text code.
Everything the big vendors charge a fortune for
Done simpler, and included on day one. No "pro tier", no "contact sales".
Works offline. Actually.
Basements, stairwells, dead zones: every knock saves on the device and syncs the second you get bars. Nobody loses an evening of doors to a spinner again.
Live team map & GPS safety
Watch your whole team move across the map in real time. Volunteers feel safer, captains spot who's stuck, and nobody knocks the same door twice.
Analytics that pick fights
Support distribution, weekly pace, coverage, and a data-science vote model that projects your election-day tally against the win line. Not a wall of vanity dashboards.
Issue radar (the NLP thing)
AI reads your door notes (personal info stripped first), builds an issue taxonomy for your ward, and shows which issues are rising month over month.
Paper & CSV, digitized
Photograph old walk sheets, up to 20 at a time, or drop in a CSV from a spreadsheet or another platform. AI reads it, matches every row to a real address, and queues it for review.
Badges & bragging rights
Automatic weekly badges and a podium leaderboard. Recognition is the cheapest fuel in politics, and this tank fills itself.
Turf cutting in minutes
Draw a shape, see the door count and time estimate as you draw, and schedule the canvass in the same dialog. That's the whole workflow.
Your data leaves whenever you want
One-click NationBuilder-compatible CSV export. No export fees, no 'talk to sales', no hostage negotiation. It's your data.
Why I built this
I'm Matt. I manage campaigns. I have personally watched a volunteer lose an entire evening of doors because a "market-leading" canvassing app couldn't survive ten minutes without signal. I have personally read the invoice that charged us for the privilege.
The big platforms are priced for national parties and built to keep your data inside their walls. Municipal campaigns, the volunteer-run, shoestring ones that actually change neighbourhoods, get the same bill and none of the leverage.
So I built the thing I wanted on the doors: offline-first, live team map, real analytics, one-click export, and an AI that reads your old paper walk sheets so that data stops dying in a binder. Then I priced it like a grudge.
I'm not here to make money. I'm here to cover costs and make this category embarrassing to overcharge for.
The canvasser view. Works on the $150 phone in your pocket.
Mid-campaign? Switching takes an afternoon, not a migration.
Start knocking today and bring your existing data over whenever you're ready, whether it lives in a binder, a Google Form, a spreadsheet, or another platform. Imports are matched to real addresses and deduplicated automatically, so nothing lands twice.
Paper walk sheets
Photograph them, up to 20 at a time, and AI transcribes the handwriting and matches every row to a real address. You review, it lands on the map.
CSV from anywhere
Export from your old platform or that homegrown spreadsheet tracker, drop the CSV in, and AI figures out the columns. No template to fill out.
And back out again
One-click NationBuilder-compatible CSV export whenever you want it. Easy in, easy out. That's the point.
The pricing page
Free while in beta. Eventually: cheap. That's it. That's the whole pricing page.
And to be clear about what happens after the beta: if you join now, this campaign stays free for its whole run, and your next one will be super cheap. We are not going to jack up the price on the people who helped us build this. No card, no countdown, no lockout.
