PrivacyPin is a secure, FOSS and self-hosted location sharing app designed to prioritize user privacy. It offers complete control over location sharing, allowing users to determine who can access their location and when. Additionally, it provides real-time notifications when someone accesses their position.
This repository will be temporarily inactive for the next few months as I dedicate my efforts to the development of a robust security protocol. I anticipate resuming activity sometime in the summer. However, I am very new to android developpement (I can't develop for ios) and things like secure storage and especially position updates is something I have a lot of trouble with. If anyone knows a thing or two, don't hesitate to chat with me about it :)
- User-Controlled Location Sharing: Users have full control over who can view their location and when it is visible.
- Real-Time Access Notifications: Receive notifications whenever someone accesses your position.
- Self-Hostable Server: The server is self-hostable, ensuring that users do not rely on big tech companies to access their location data.
- Post-Quantum Encryption: Utilizes encryption techniques that are resistant to attacks from classical and quantum computers, ensuring maximum security.
- Semi-SOS Feature: Includes a feature for urgent situations that require quick attention but may not be life-threatening.
PrivacyPin is still in early development, and the usage instructions will be provided once the app reaches a stable version. Stay tuned for updates!
