What is XOPOZ?

One-Paragraph Description

XOPOZ is a privacy-first GPS team tracking application for Android that encrypts every GPS coordinate on the device before transmission. Using team-specific AES-128 encryption keys stored in the Android hardware security module, XOPOZ ensures the server never has access to real location data. Built without any Google Play Services dependency, it works on any Android device including degoogled phones, features intelligent battery optimization that reduces power consumption by up to 90% during stationary periods, and gives users complete control over their map tile servers. Designed for mountain guides, search-and-rescue teams, NGOs, journalists, and any professional team that needs reliable GPS coordination without surveillance.

Extended Description (3 Paragraphs)

XOPOZ is a professional GPS team tracking application that takes a fundamentally different approach to location sharing. While mainstream trackers like Life360 store raw GPS coordinates on their servers — data that has been documented as being sold to data brokers — XOPOZ encrypts every position on the device using AES-128 hardware-accelerated encryption with team-specific keys. The server receives and stores only encrypted blobs that are mathematically impossible to decrypt without the team's key, which never leaves the device. This is true zero-knowledge architecture: even a complete server breach reveals no location information.

The application is built entirely without Google Play Services, using Android's native LocationManager API for direct GPS hardware access. This means XOPOZ works on any Android device, including phones running GrapheneOS, LineageOS, or other privacy-focused operating systems. The map system supports any raster tile server, from OpenStreetMap to private military mapping infrastructure. The battery optimization engine uses a "wake up fast, sleep slowly" strategy with hardware motion sensors, achieving up to 90% power reduction during stationary periods while maintaining instant GPS activation when movement is detected.

XOPOZ introduces a device-focused team model where each physical device is an independent tracking entity, enabling equipment and vehicle tracking alongside personnel. Additional features include encrypted emergency SOS alerts with stress-optimized UI, reverse geofencing with on-device boundary detection, dual-tier points of interest (private and team-shared), configurable intraday tracking for business compliance, and full GDPR compliance with secure byte-overwrite data deletion. The application is developed in Europe and follows European privacy standards by design.

Founder Quotes (Approved for Publication)

"I built XOPOZ because I believe your GPS position is one of the most intimate pieces of data about you, and it deserves the same protection as your private messages. The fact that mainstream trackers store your raw coordinates in plaintext and sell them to data brokers is not a business model — it is a failure of engineering priorities."
— Thierry Bremard, Creator of XOPOZ
"The core innovation is simple but powerful: encrypt before you transmit. Every GPS coordinate is encrypted on the device with a key the server never sees. Even if our entire infrastructure were compromised tomorrow, attackers would get nothing but meaningless encrypted data. That is not a feature. That is the architecture."
— Thierry Bremard, Creator of XOPOZ
"We do not use Google Play Services because we do not believe a professional GPS tool should depend on advertising infrastructure. XOPOZ talks directly to the GPS chip. It works on degoogled phones, in countries where Google is blocked, and in environments where Google infrastructure is not permitted. That independence is non-negotiable."
— Thierry Bremard, Creator of XOPOZ

Five Key Differentiators

1. Zero-Knowledge GPS Encryption

Every GPS coordinate is encrypted with AES-128 using team-specific keys stored in the Android Keystore hardware security module. The server stores only encrypted blobs. Team keys are distributed through SHA-256 challenge hashes that prove key possession without revealing the key. Data monetization is architecturally impossible.

2. Zero Google Dependency

XOPOZ uses Android's native LocationManager API instead of Google's Fused Location Provider. No Google Analytics, Firebase, Cloud Messaging, or Maps. Works on GrapheneOS, LineageOS, Huawei devices, and in regions where Google is restricted.

3. Intelligent Battery Management

"Wake up fast, sleep slowly." Hardware TYPE_SIGNIFICANT_MOTION sensors detect movement at near-zero power. GPS activates instantly on movement and gradually reduces to network-only positioning after 5 minutes of being stationary, achieving up to 90% power reduction.

4. Device-Focused Architecture

Each device is an independent tracking entity, not grouped by person. Track phones, vehicles, equipment, and any GPS-enabled device as individual team members with independent visibility controls and encryption.

5. Complete Map Independence

Configure any raster tile server: OpenStreetMap, corporate servers, satellite imagery, military maps, or offline tile caches. Dynamic style switching and no vendor lock-in.
