About Fault Line.
We built this because reporting a pothole shouldn't be harder than the pothole itself.
The problem we're solving.
America has $786 billion in deferred infrastructure maintenance. Potholes cost drivers $3 billion a year. Broken streetlights leave neighborhoods in the dark. Crumbling sidewalks trap wheelchair users at home.
The system for reporting these issues — calling 311, waiting on hold, describing a location without GPS, getting no confirmation, no tracking, no follow-up — was designed in 1996. It hasn't changed. Authorities count on citizens giving up after one failed attempt.
Fault Line changes the equation. Individual complaints are easy to ignore. Community-verified, GPS-documented, legally-significant reports with fiscal impact projections and public accountability scores are not.
What makes us different.
Free forever
No paywall, no premium tier, no “pay to escalate.” Every feature is free. The app is supported by non-intrusive banner ads.
Anonymous by default
No account required. Report without signing in. Your identity is never attached to anonymous reports — not even in our database.
Public accountability
Every city gets a public infrastructure grade. Response times, fix rates, severity trends — all transparent. No hiding behind closed-door reports.
Legal teeth
Auto-generated demand letters citing your state's specific statute. Insurance claim packages. Fiscal impact projections. We make inaction the expensive option.
Privacy first
We never sell personal data. Escalation emails to authorities are anonymized. Sensor data stays on your device. We collect the minimum needed.
Community powered
When 3 people report the same issue, it's verified. At 10, authorities are notified automatically. Your voice joins a chorus that can't be ignored.
Where we operate.
Fault Line currently covers Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire with 42 pre-configured government authorities. The app works anywhere — GPS and photo reporting are universal — but authority identification and auto-escalation are available in these three states. We expand based on community demand.
Our tech.
Fault Line is built with React Native (Expo) for iOS and Android, Supabase for the backend, and Claude AI for photo analysis. Reports are GPS-verified, community-validated, and legally timestamped. The app works offline, supports 5 languages, and is fully accessible with screen reader support, voice commands, and audio-guided reporting.
