FlockOff

Read full description

Your right to privacy is being challenged. FlockOff shows community-mapped ALPR and traffic cameras near you and can play configurable warnings as you approach. Proximity matching and alert decisions happen on your device, with no FlockOff account, ads, analytics, or cross-app tracking. FEATURES • View mapped ALPR and traffic cameras on a live iPhone or iPad map • Choose warning, caution, and danger distances • Select from synthesized beeps, chimes, sonar, klaxon, or spoken distance alerts • Compare Apple driving routes by travel time or fewer currently mapped cameras • Keep cached camera records available when a refresh is unavailable • Capture a camera sighting with the map button or Siri • Review report location and details on a satellite map before optionally publishing to OpenStreetMap • 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.
