ouRGeo

The open-source spatial IDE — ArcGIS Pro meets RStudio, on your desktop.

Visual geoprocessing, exact curved geometry, an in-app AI agent, and reproducible R code from every single click — free, offline, and MIT-licensed.

What is ouRGeo?

ouRGeo is a free, open-source desktop GIS built for analysts, researchers, and anyone who works with geographic data. Under the hood it's powered by R's mature spatial stack (sf, terra, tmap, ggplot2) wrapped in a modern dark-mode interface that feels like ArcGIS Pro and RStudio had a baby.

You never have to choose between point-and-click convenience and reproducible scripts. Every operation in the GUI writes its own R code to the live console — so you can drag, click, and see exactly what was run. Edit it, save it, share it, automate it. Nothing is hidden, and nothing is locked behind a subscription.

What makes it groundbreaking

📐 sfarc — Exact Curves Our own R package computes length, area, buffers and overlays on true circular arcs analytically — where GEOS only linearizes or gives up. Learn more →

🧰 85+ Tool Toolbox Point-and-click geoprocessing across seven categories — every tool generates clean, editable R. Learn more →

✏️ CAD-Grade Drawing Industry-standard digitizing: vertex/edge/midpoint/intersection snapping and AutoCAD-style precise coordinate entry. Learn more →

🤖 In-App AI Agent A built-in assistant with an optional Autopilot mode — and it runs against local models, fully offline if you want. Learn more →

🔌 Data Connector Pull live data straight from Esri, WFS, OGC, STAC, Socrata, CKAN, ERDDAP and more — as reproducible R import code. Learn more →

⏺️ Code History & Recording Every click has a matching R response. Record a whole GUI session straight into a runnable, savable script. Learn more →

Why ouRGeo, not R, RStudio, or ArcGIS?

Commercial GIS is powerful but locked behind seat licenses, subscriptions, and proprietary formats. The open alternatives usually force a choice: a visual workflow (ArcGIS/QGIS) or a coding workflow (R/RStudio). ouRGeo refuses that trade-off — you get both at once.

Capability	ArcGIS Pro	R / RStudio	ouRGeo
Price / license	Paid subscription	Free	Free & MIT open-source
Point-and-click GUI	Yes	No	Yes
Reproducible code from every action	Partial (Python)	You write it	Automatic R for every click
Exact curved geometry	Yes	Linearized (GEOS)	Analytic (sfarc)
Built-in AI assistant	Limited	No	Local + cloud, with Autopilot
Runs fully offline	License check	Yes	Yes — zero telemetry

Everything you do generates R you can save, version, and re-run. You get the ergonomics of a modern IDE, the rigor of a reproducible script, and the freedom of a 100% open-source tool that runs entirely on your machine.
