Over the past year, we have released new software that enables multi-dimensional annual growth measurements on both corals (sclerochronology) and trees (dendrochronology). The software features easy-to-use tools in a graphical user interface (GUI), as well as automated ring/band detection and tracing. Perhaps most importantly, the software applications are linked to cloud-based repositories that store not only the raw image datasets but also user interpretations of the images. Together, this offers a key advance for data sharing and transparency in the fields, bringing them in line with the FAIR principles. The coral software is called CoralCT and its repository is called CoralCache. Publications describing the system can be found here: https://aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/lom3.10661 and here: https://essd.copernicus.org/articles/18/3341/2026/ The tree software is called TreeTracer and its repository is called TreeTrove. Both are described in a pre-print here: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=6767880
