Vanism is the road OS for van life — plan the night, ask C3I, and earn ranks by actually going. THE DESK ON YOUR PHONE Plan multi-stop routes with sleep spots and shower stations. Track water, fuel, power, and budget. Log every camp — your road history builds itself. Core tools stay free forever. C3I — YOUR ROAD COPILOT Ask like a partner who has already done the miles. Where to sleep tonight. Whether the road ahead is honest. What is close enough to be worth the exit. C3I reads your rig, your route, and the ground under you. No other apps. No link farms. Just the next right mile. THE HUNT — A REAL GAME ON A REAL MAP Challenge Mode turns the country into a living board. National park entrances, summits, skateparks, climbing crags, and hidden road eggs — found by driving there. GPS-verified. No cheats. No bought ranks. RANK UP — EARNED BY GOING Every honest check-in climbs the ladder. Crossing a rank is a ceremony: RANK EARNED — GPS VERIFIED. Share the card. The road keeps score. WARM / COLD + DISCOVER Always know what is close. Discover lists unearned places within a few hours of drive — parks, summits, eggs — reasons to keep moving. VILLAGE + SHARED RUN Ride with the village when you want company. Start a Shared Run and bring your crew on a short code. SKINS — IDENTITY ON THE ROAD Base Van is the default. Climber and Skater skins shift what C3I emphasizes and what the map is hunting. More on the way. SECURE. OFFLINE-FIRST. Camp logs, achievements, and vitals live on device. Sign in with Apple is optional for continuity across devices. Copilot and live village need signal; the rest rides offline. FREE TO START Utility stays free. Short passes and Monthly / Yearly unlock deeper membership — convoy, skins, season play, and the Expedition Desk war room. The road is the game. Go find it.
