SCREENSHOTS:
ROCS
DESCRIPTION:
ROCS is a free, serverless, TAK-inspired situational-awareness system for civilian teams (search and rescue, outdoor events, amateur-radio emergency groups). An Android app and a PC node share team positions, points of interest, messages and alerts over LoRa radio (Heltec WiFi LoRa 32 V3 or Seeed XIAO ESP32S3 + Wio-SX1262 used as a plain radio modem), local Wi-Fi multicast or public MQTT brokers.
No account, no server, no plugin: scan the group QR code and you are in. All content is end-to-end encrypted with the group key (ChaCha20-Poly1305, Ed25519). Offline raster maps (MBTiles, e.g. IGN).
Rust core, Kotlin/Jetpack Compose app, ESP32-S3 firmware flashable from the phone. Documentation in French.
