Cupwire

Cupwire is a voice + location app for small groups who need to stay in touch when phone calls aren't practical β 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 β 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 β’ 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). β’ 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 β your voice never leaves the phone. β’ 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." β’ Convoy mode. Say "follow me" β every teammate sees a live arrow to your position on the map and AR compass. β’ 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 β all computed locally so it works offline. β’ Roll call. Tap once to send a check-in prompt to the whole group. Each member taps OK / Need help / On my way / Busy. β’ AR compass. Camera view with overlaid arrows pointing at each teammate in the real world. β’ Breadcrumb trails. Toggle to draw the last 4 hours of every teammate's path on the map. β’ Night mode. Deep red overlay so the screen doesn't kill your night vision in a stand at 2am. PRIVACY-FIRST DESIGN β’ Voice is recorded only while you hold the button. No always-on listening. β’ On-device transcription β your phone runs a small local model. β’ On-device intent classification (optional) β runs entirely on your phone. β’ No ads, no tracking, no data sales. β’ 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. β’ 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 β anyone moving outdoors together.
