Hauk is an open-source self-hosted software designed for real-time tracking of devices using the Open Location Code (OLC) or "Plus Codes" for location data. It is particularly useful for communities or groups that want to keep track of whereabouts, whether it's for safety, coordination, or simply for fun. Hauk enables users to easily share their locations in a user-friendly web interface, which can be accessed via a mobile device or desktop.
The application is built using various modern technologies, enabling developers to customize and extend its functionalities as needed. Users can host Hauk on their own server, giving them control over their data while offering privacy and security. The implementation is straightforward, and the active development community provides support and continuous updates to enhance the user experience and add new features, making it a versatile tool for location sharing and monitoring.
