Self-hosted, open-source GIS data catalog with OGC API support, semantic search, and map builder. Apache 2.0. Deploy anywhere.
Hey Product Hunt! I'm Ian, and I built GeoLens.
I got tired of watching teams lose control of their own spatial data. You load it into a platform, you build on it, and then leaving turns out to be expensive: the export is lossy, the API is proprietary, and everything downstream has to be rebuilt. It's your data right up until you try to take it somewhere else.
GeoLens is the inverse. Your data sits in your own PostGIS, on hardware you control. Upload Shapefiles, GeoTIFFs, GeoPackages, or CSVs, or register data you already have. You get a searchable catalog and a map builder in the browser, plus OGC and STAC APIs that QGIS, ArcGIS, and MapLibre already speak. Fuzzy search works without setup. If you outgrow GeoLens, you leave with a Postgres database and a set of open standards.
It's Apache 2.0 and self-hosted. It phones home to nothing, so there is no telemetry to opt out of. Deploying takes one command.
This is an early release. The self-hosted distribution is young and some APIs will still move before they settle. If you hit a rough edge, open an issue. I read all of them.
The demo at demo.getgeolens.com is live and you can browse it without an account.
If you work with spatial data, I'd like to know where yours actually lives right now, and how hard it would be to leave.
