You approve every device by hand. Then it passes on short messages and selected changes. Range is tens of meters: during an outage at home, but also at the cabin, on a campsite or at a festival. PRIVACY FIRST No account, no ads, no ad SDKs, no trackers. Your guides, lists and supplies stay on your device or between devices you trust. The app sends only anonymous daily counters (for example which screen was open) without a device identifier or personal content. Guides, checklists and tools work in airplane mode. IMPORTANT Blackout is an organizational aid. It does not replace emergency services, medical help, fire department or police. In danger to life, always call your local emergency number (911 in the USA, 112 in the EU). The SOS signal and siren are not a substitute for calling for help.
