Plain talk

A trip, not a magic box

Turn Scram on. Turn GPS on. Walk a store or drive. Wait one scan. Check the map and Logs. If a card goes red, mute the mic or Full Vanish. If you see a Flock pole, photograph it with Location on. The icon waits for a yes before it hits the map.

1. Dashboard

Flip Scram. GPS if you want a pin. Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, and high-tone listen. A known store name turns the card red.

2. Get lost

High tone: mute the mic only (default). Radios stay up. Full Vanish stops collect and opens the radio tiles. You turn Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth off. Come back when you are clear.

3. Map

Your dot, store pins, public Flock list. Drive and it follows. Streets do not rebuild under you while you collect.

4. Logs

The bite: time, GPS, match. After the storm is the last day on one card.

5. Legal

Letters and clocks. Gmail opens. You send. Name and address never leave the device.

6. Settings

Inbox is already scrambites.com. Get Brave / Why Brave. Mute-mic-on-tone switch. USB Guard watches the cable.

It can

  • Hear Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth around you
  • Hear hidden high speaker tones (no voice is saved)
  • Mute the mic on a tone, or Full Vanish the radios
  • Match known store names and learn a new venue (same name on 2+ access points, not at your house)
  • Drop a store pin when there is a match and GPS
  • Follow you while you drive (speed and direction)
  • Show mapped Flock / ALPR from a public list
  • Let you report a pole with a photo
  • Write letters and start clocks — you send them
  • Warn on a USB data handshake

It cannot

  • Spoof the hardware Wi‑Fi or Bluetooth MAC on an unrooted phone
  • Hear a Flock camera over the air
  • Jam radios or scramble someone else’s gear
  • Put “do not sell” into Chrome (use Brave or Firefox)
  • Email brokers or file with the FTC for you
  • Call every TV or dryer a store tracker

Your name, email, and address stay on the phone. The public map inbox gets pins and reviews — not your legal identity.
