Release list
GISFORUS Spatial Research Suite v1.1.1
GISFORUS Spatial Research Suite v1.1.1 — quality-of-life update for macOS and Windows.
This release adds a unified Export Manager and in-app updates, so gathering deliverables and staying current is effortless.
Downloads
- macOS (Apple Silicon): GISFORUS-Spatial-Suite-1.1.1-arm64.dmg — ~610 MB
- Windows (64-bit): GISFORUS-Spatial-Suite-1.1.1-x64.exe — ~944 MB
Both bundle their own R + Python runtime — nothing else to install. Runs on your own Earth Engine account and quota; your imagery, boundaries and analysis stay on your machine (GEE compute is locked to localhost in the packaged build).
What's new
- New Export Manager: every output collects in one place. Save any result — data, reports, figures, boundaries, publication layouts — then download items individually or all at once. A clear popup confirms each save.
- In-app updates: check for and install new versions from the app menu — no browser needed. Downloads are verified against the published SHA-256 before installing.
- Shapefile Extractor now pulls India State / District boundaries live from geoBoundaries (no bundled files), plus a new custom ROI — type a bounding box or draw your own.
- Friendlier errors with clear "what to do next" guidance, and a smarter Run flow.
- Your last analysis settings are remembered between sessions.
- Publication Studio: calmer, cleaner layout with aligned controls.
- Refreshed "Cite Methods" with current, publication-ready references.
- Stability + security hardening for geometry handling, first-run startup (Windows) and the local compute service.
First run
- macOS: not notarized yet — open via System Settings → Privacy & Security → "Open Anyway".
- Windows: SmartScreen → "More info → Run anyway"; allow R through the firewall when asked (it only talks to your own computer).
- Both: sign in to Google Earth Engine in your browser and enter your EE project ID once.

Source in this repository is MIT (the open research build). The packaged GISFORUS desktop app is a proprietary product; its paid export features are not part of the MIT grant.
Code-signing (Mac notarization + Windows signing) is planned to remove the first-run prompts.
GISFORUS Spatial Research Suite v1.1.0
First public macOS build of the GISFORUS Spatial Research Suite — publication-grade satellite analysis on your own Google Earth Engine, no code.
- Publication Studio — new drag-and-drop figure composer: place maps, charts and analyses as movable bricks, add a coordinate grid, accurate scale bar, north arrow and legend, and export print-ready figures (~380 DPI)
- LULC engine — Random Forest / CART / SVM classification with confidence maps, accuracy assessment, multi-year change detection and transition matrices
- GEE Cloud Analytics — 41 analysis layers across 8 categories (25+ spectral indices plus terrain, climate, air-quality, flood, nightlights and population), zonal statistics and Mann-Kendall trends
- Runs on your own Earth Engine — your imagery, boundaries and analysis never leave your Mac; only a subscription is verified by email
- Free to run; subscribe to export — Basic (₹299/mo) for data exports, Pro (₹799/mo) for the full PDF report and workspace bundle
Requirements: macOS 12+ · Apple Silicon (M1 or newer) · a free Google Earth Engine account.
First launch: macOS will warn about an unidentified developer — open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway once (full steps on gisforus.com/mac/).
