## What is Cupwire?

Cupwire is a voice + location app for small groups who need to stay in touch when phone calls aren't practical — hunting parties, work crews, families on big properties, anyone moving across terrain together. 
  Hold the round mic button to record a short voice clip. Release, and it plays automatically on every teammate's phone — even with their screen locked.  Each clip is transcribed on-device so it shows up as text in the group thread, and so the lock-screen banner reads what was actually said, not just "voice message."     
WHAT MAKES CUPWIRE DIFFERENT     
 • Live shared map. See every teammate's position on a satellite map, in real time. Drop named pins ("south stand", "the truck"), waypoints, or incident pins (sighting, shot, kill, trail sign, vehicle, lunch, parts).
  • Voice commands. Say "head to John" and the AR compass aims at him. Say "meet at the truck" and everyone's screen shows their personal ETA. Say "who's closest?", "what'd I miss?", "remind me at sunrise".
Optional 1.1 GB on-device language model handles fuzzy phrasing — your voice never leaves the phone.      
• Geofences. Set an alert ring around yourself or any waypoint, from 10 meters to 100 miles. Get a lock-screen push when a teammate enters or leaves. Useful for "tell me when she gets close to the stand" or "warn me if anyone walks into my hunting zone."    
• Convoy mode. Say "follow me" — every teammate sees a live arrow to your position on the map and AR compass.                                           
• Field intel HUD. Tap the wind button for wind speed and scent direction. Tap the sun button for BMNT, sunrise, sunset, EENT, moonrise, moonset, current moon phase, temperature, and conditions — all computed locally so it works offline.
• Roll call. Tap once to send a check-in prompt to the whole group. Each member taps OK / Need help / On my way / Busy.     • AR compass. Camera view with overlaid arrows pointing at each teammate in the real world. 
• Breadcrumb trails. Toggle to draw the last 4 hours of every teammate's path on the map.      
• Night mode. Deep red overlay so the screen doesn't kill your night vision in a stand at 2am.      

PRIVACY-FIRST DESIGN       
• Voice is recorded only while you hold the button. No always-on listening.  
• On-device transcription — your phone runs a small local model.  
• On-device intent classification (optional) — runs entirely on your phone.  
• No ads, no tracking, no data sales.  
• Block any user with a long-press on their row. Report any message or pin with a long-press. We act on flags within 24 hours.  
• Delete your account at any time from Group Settings. 

WHO IT'S FOR  
Hunting groups, guide services, ranchers moving cattle, work crews on big sites, sailing crews, search-and-rescue teams, big families on vacation —  anyone moving outdoors together.
