BanditKin: Private Maps & ALPR

License-plate readers on every corner. Map apps that remember everywhere you've been.
Location apps that sell your family's movements. BanditKin is built for people who've
had enough — stay close to your circle without feeding anyone's database.

SEE THE CAMERAS AROUND YOU
• A map of automated license-plate-reader (ALPR) surveillance cameras — often called
"Flock" cameras — built from public and community data
• See each camera's location, its approximate capture zone, and who operates it
• Turn on camera avoidance and your route steers around cameras facing your path, with
a strength slider you control. If no camera-free route exists, it tells you honestly.
• A privacy preference, not a cloak: camera locations are public data, and this layer
never sends your identity or your own location

PRIVATE NAVIGATION (BETA)
The big map apps tie every search and destination to your identity. BanditKin computes
routes on your phone.
• Fully offline maps — save your whole area in one tap, then navigate with no signal
• On-device turn-by-turn with posted speed limits, plus address & place search
• In the private modes, your destination and searches never leave your phone
• Optional Anonymous Online mode adds online search and traffic-aware routing through a
privacy relay — no account, no identity attached (off by default)
• Android Auto support and a clean dark map for night driving
Navigation is the newest part of BanditKin — fully usable today, with updates landing
constantly as we polish it.

A LOCATION APP THAT CAN'T SPY ON YOU
• Live circle map with history, place alerts (arrive & leave), SOS and check-ins
• Encrypted texts, voice notes, and a push-to-talk walkie-talkie with live channels
• Everything end-to-end encrypted on your device — our servers hold only ciphertext
they cannot read. No ads. No analytics. No data sales. No account. No phone number.
• Self-host the server on your own hardware if you want total control

EARLY ACCESS — FREE
BanditKin is in early access, and everything is free while we build. At launch:
self-hosting stays free forever, and cloud circles start with a 30-day full free
trial — no card, no account — then one plan covers your whole circle: $4.99/month,
$39.99/year, or a one-time $99.99 for lifetime access. Early-access users keep
everything free. Pre-registering counts.

CONSENT-FIRST BY DESIGN
BanditKin is for people who choose to share with each other. Everyone joins by scanning
a QR code in person, everyone sees when sharing is on, and anyone can pause or leave at
any time. It is not for tracking anyone without their knowledge.

Your circle. Your data. Your device.
