Hauk lets you share your location in real-time with friends and family for a specified period of time. Meeting up with someone? Send them a Hauk link, and they can follow your location live on a map until you arrive to meet them.This app requires that you have installed the Hauk backend on a server. Please see https://github.com/bilde2910/Hauk for backend installation instructions.
Required permissions:
* ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION - for getting your location, so that it can be shared
* FOREGROUND_SERVICE - for keeping the share running when the app is minimized
* INTERNET - for communicating with your Hauk backend server
Hauk does not share your location data to anywhere except the Hauk backend server you specify within the app. A unique link will be generated for your location share when you start sharing; anyone with this link will be able to see your location in real-time for as long as you are sharing.
WhatsNew:
This updated adds support for Android versions up to Android 13. Due to compatibility issues, support for Android 6 has also been dropped in this release for now.
For the full changelog, please see https://github.com/bilde2910/Hauk/releases.
While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device.
