Getting Started with GeoClip
YOUR FIRST PROJECT
Start locally. Explore confidently.
1 · Open GeoClip after installation
Open the extension toolbar popup. Select Open workspace to access the dashboard, map workspace, converter, measurements and project manager. No online account or supplied account credentials are required.
2 · Set your local passphrase
Create and confirm your own strong local passphrase and acknowledge the no-recovery warning. Each popup or workspace must be unlocked separately. The passphrase is not saved or sent to a server. There is no password reset or recovery key: forgetting it can make saved data inaccessible. Keep it safe outside GeoClip and do not reuse an important account password.
3 · Choose your map privacy setting
Choose local tools only to decline external basemaps, or explicitly enable Esri maps. Enabling maps sends your IP address, tile coordinates, zoom and ordinary request information to Esri, revealing the area viewed. You can change or revoke the choice using Privacy / map settings. Local geometry, conversion, measurements and file tools remain available without basemap imagery.
4 · Try a non-sensitive sample project
Create a project using synthetic or non-sensitive data. Add a point from typed coordinates or map geometry, then try a line or polygon. Review the inspector, feature notes and measurement summaries. Use the converter for WGS 84 decimal degrees, DMS or UTM, and independently check results before using real-world measurements.
5 · Save, export and check your files
Saved project records are encrypted in local browser storage. Downloads, exported project files, backups, clipboard copies and printouts are not encrypted by GeoClip. Review the export warning, choose a safe destination and protect any copies yourself. A backup is useful only if you can access it and its contents are suitable for sharing.
6 · Lock and protect your workspace
Use Lock all GeoClip windows when finished. Each window unlocks separately after reload or restart, and inactivity also locks views. Encryption does not protect an already-unlocked window or a compromised device. Avoid editing the same project concurrently in several windows; reload after conflicts.
