Privacy
No accounts or servers; data stays on the phone. The only things that leave it are queries to public services: search text (Nominatim), route and speed limit (Valhalla), approximate location for weather (Open-Meteo), fuel queries (Nominatim / Overpass). SOS only runs if you enable it and asks for SMS permission.
⚠ This app can distract you while riding. Mount the phone securely, change settings while parked and follow traffic rules. The software is provided without warranty.
