Your right to privacy is being challenged. FlockOff shows community-mapped ALPR and traffic cameras near you and plays configurable warnings as you approach — even while your screen is locked. Proximity matching and alert decisions happen on your device. Free, with no account, subscription, or in-app purchase. Every camera you report goes back into the open OpenStreetMap dataset other apps draw from too, not a closed FlockOff database. FEATURES • View mapped ALPR and traffic cameras on a live iPhone or iPad map • Choose warning, caution, and danger distances — alerts continue in the background using When In Use location only • Select from synthesized beeps, chimes, sonar, klaxon, spoken distance alerts, or Geiger Mode's ambient density clicking • Compare Apple driving routes by travel time or fewer currently mapped cameras • Get spoken, in-app turn-by-turn directions on your chosen route — camera alerts always take priority over navigation guidance • Download camera data for an area in advance so alerts work with no signal • See distance to the nearest camera from your Lock Screen or Dynamic Island while Monitoring is on • Capture a camera sighting with the map button or Siri • Review report location and details on a satellite map before optionally publishing to OpenStreetMap • Track drives with Drive Log, contributor badges, and a shareable surveillance density card • Stealth Mode for haptics-only alerts, and Pause Monitoring whenever you choose PRIVACY FlockOff does not operate a backend that receives your travel history. To retrieve community camera records, it sends a geographic search area to an OpenStreetMap Overpass service. Apple processes maps, place searches, and route requests through MapKit. A camera report is sent to OpenStreetMap only after you review and explicitly submit it; submitted edits are public and linked to your OpenStreetMap account. IMPORTANT Camera data is community-maintained and may be incomplete, delayed, or inaccurate. Route camera counts use currently loaded map data and cannot guarantee a camera-free route. Set up the app before driving, remain attentive, and obey all local laws. Camera data © OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Data Commons Open Database License.

About

DontFlockMe

Features
Read full description

DontFlockMe is a GPS navigation app with one extra talent: it knows where automated license plate readers (ALPRs) are, and it can route around them the same way other apps route around tolls. Every route shows you the honest tradeoff. The fastest route and the protected route sit side by side: how many known cameras each one passes and how many minutes the cleaner route costs. You pick. Your choice, your drive. WHAT YOU GET - Turn-by-turn navigation with voice guidance, speed limits, and live rerouting - A nationwide map of 120,000+ community-reported ALPR locations, updated nightly - Protected routing that treats cameras like tolls: avoid them when you want to - Camera alerts while you drive, even without a route - Community reports: cameras, police, speed traps, crashes, hazards - Honest coverage: the app tells you when an area is lightly mapped instead of pretending to know PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE No account. No sign-in. No analytics SDKs, no ad SDKs, no trackers. Maps, routing, and search run on our own servers, so no map or routing provider sees your location either. Routes are computed in real time and never stored. If you buy Pro, Apple handles the payment, so we never learn who you are. Camera locations come from public community mapping and user reports. Coverage is strong in well-mapped areas and thinner elsewhere; the app always tells you which one you are in. DontFlockMe Pro unlocks camera-avoidance routing and patrol alerts. Pick your door: monthly, yearly after a free week, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Lifetime means the life of the app: if it is ever sunset, the final update makes Pro features free for everyone.
