## What is Hauk?

This app is a client for the self-hosted Hauk software. It allows you to privately share your location with others. It does not rely on my server or that of a third party. Instead, you host the server yourself. That way, your location is only being shared with the one you want to share it with.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 0.6.2 — 2026-08-03

Fixed a bug where stopping a running share didn't work if the request to the server failed. The app now does retries (in the background if it has to).

### 0.6.1 — 2025-12-09

Resolved an issue where live activity was not being displayed when a sharing session was started via Shortcuts.

### 0.6 — 2025-12-07

This update includes a Live Activity to easily see the status of your sharing session.

### 0.5 — 2025-09-22

Add Group Sharing functionality and set a default server (hauk.live) if no server is configured.

### 0.4.1 — 2025-06-21
