# Tree Measurement App ### Why Kobo Toolbox? KoboToolbox is an open source data collection platform designed for humanitarian action, development, environmental protection, research, and social good. This platform is chosen because of its powerful offline capabilities. Field workers can collect data without an internet connection, making it ideal for remote locations or areas with unreliable connectivity. Once back online, the data is automatically synced. ### Creating your own Kobo instance By hosting your own KoboToolbox instance at kf.kobotoolbox.org, you maintain complete control over your own data. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
