The modern annotation platform for perception teams. 3D bounding boxes, multi-user review workflows, and synchronized camera views. Self-hosted, at a fraction of the cost.
Features
Everything your team needs
A complete annotation platform built for production perception workflows. No compromises, no vendor lock-in.
Powerful 3D annotation tools
Everything you need to create precise, high-quality labels for your perception models.
3D Bounding Boxes
Precise 3D annotation with real-time rotation, scaling, and snapping. Click-and-drag to create boxes instantly.
Multi-View Inspector
Inspect annotations from front, side, and top views simultaneously. Fine-tune boxes with pixel precision.
10+ Object Categories
Pre-configured for autonomous driving: Car, Pedestrian, Cyclist, Truck, Bus, Van, Barrier, Traffic Cone, and more.
Custom Label Profiles
Define categories, attributes, default dimensions, and colors. Create reusable profiles for different project types.
Camera Image Sync
Synchronized camera views alongside your point cloud. Support for multiple camera angles per frame.
Sequence Support
Multi-frame sequences with timeline navigation, frame-by-frame playback, and seekbar for quick navigation.
Keyboard Shortcuts
Full keyboard shortcut support for every action. Navigate frames, create boxes, switch tools, all without the mouse.
Import & Export
Import existing labels from other tools. Export annotations in standard formats for your ML pipeline.
Built for teams
Manage your annotation workforce with role-based access, review workflows, and full audit trails.
Multi-User Workflows
Admin, annotator, and reviewer roles. Assign tasks, track progress, and manage your entire team from one dashboard.
Review & Issue Tracking
Built-in review pipeline with per-annotation issue tracking, comments, and approval workflow.
Dataset Management
Upload, organize, and manage datasets from the dashboard. Track status from created to completed.
Activity & Audit Log
Track every annotation action with timestamps. Full audit trail for compliance and quality assurance.
Deploy your way
Self-hosted, performant, and built on modern infrastructure you can trust.
Self-Hosted & Secure

Blazing Fast Rendering
WebGL-powered viewer handles millions of points at 60 FPS with real-time downsampling and GPU optimization.
S3 & Local Storage
Store point cloud files locally or on AWS S3. Flexible storage backend that scales with your data.
Real-Time Performance Stats
Live FPS counter, draw calls, GPU memory, and point count. Monitor performance while annotating.
Built for Speed
Annotate faster than ever before
Our WebGL-powered editor renders millions of points in real-time. Combined with intuitive keyboard shortcuts and smart annotation tools, your team can label datasets in a fraction of the time.
How It Works
From raw data to trained models
A streamlined workflow designed for production annotation teams.
Upload Your Data
Upload point cloud files and camera images. Supports single frames and multi-frame sequences with automatic folder detection.
Annotate in 3D
Use the 3D editor to create bounding boxes, assign categories and attributes. Multi-view inspector helps you fine-tune every box.
Review & Approve
Reviewers inspect annotations, raise issues, add comments. Annotators fix flagged items. Approve when quality meets standards.
Export & Train
Export annotations in standard formats. Feed directly into your ML training pipeline with confidence in data quality.
