Our Privacy & Architecture Philosophy
All applications in this suite operate on an on-device first principle. We believe travel tools should work under tunnels, deep inside basement ramen shops, and without cellular data roaming. We do not track your location in the background, we do not require account logins, and we never sell user telemetry to advertisers.
