PlainMap
Offline safety, always
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
A real offline map of the help around you — hospitals, shelters, water, emergency tools. Live weather alerts. No signal needed. No account. Free.
When you need real help and there's no signal, PlainMap shows you exactly where to go — completely offline.
PlainMap is a real, working offline map of the help around you: hospitals and urgent care, pharmacies, emergency and domestic-violence shelters, cooling and warming centers, water points and food banks, fuel stations and EV charging, police and fire stations, transit, and outdoor/trail landmarks. Every facility comes from real OpenStreetMap community data — 623 facilities in the San Francisco launch region alone — with an honest "verified vs. crowd-reported" trust label on every entry, never fabricated.
BUILT TO WORK WITH NO SIGNAL
• A real offline vector map (not just cached tiles) you can download per region and remove again to free space, any time.
• Every facility, every safety article, every first-aid instruction works with the network off. There is no feature on the critical path that requires connectivity.
• Optional background sync (off by default, Wi-Fi-only option) fetches only small, versioned public data files to keep your region current — entirely your choice, controlled from Settings.
FOR AN ACTUAL EMERGENCY
• Emergency Mode: one tap dials your region's real emergency number (911/999/112), shows the genuinely nearest hospital (never a guess — only shown with a real GPS fix), and can send an "I'm Safe" text with your coordinates to your emergency contact.
• A real, working Low-Battery Mode that actually reduces GPS accuracy/polling to save power — not just a label.
• Disaster Toolkits: pick your hazard (hurricane, flood, wildfire, earthquake, tornado, winter storm, heat wave) and see only the facility categories that matter for it, badged with any currently active NWS alert.
• Live weather and hazard alerts from api.weather.gov, with local notifications when a new one is issued.
YOUR MEDICAL INFORMATION, ON YOUR DEVICE ONLY
• An optional Medical ID card — allergies, conditions, medications, blood type, emergency contact — stored on-device only, never uploaded, with a native-printed wallet card.
LEARN BEFORE YOU NEED IT
• A Safety Education hub with 7 in-depth, plain-language articles: earthquake, flood, wildfire, lost in the wild, power outage, a go-bag checklist, and a mental-health crisis directory with real hotline numbers (988, 211).
YOUR INFORMATION STAYS YOURS
• No account and no company-run backend. The app shows ads served by Google AdMob, and a one-time Remove Ads purchase removes them. Sync (when you turn it on) only ever fetches small public data files — it never sends anything about you.
• Local backup export/import (a plain JSON file through the system share sheet) — no cloud.
• Optional biometric App Lock, off by default, with a real escape hatch if your device has no passcode/Face ID/Touch ID configured.
IN YOUR LANGUAGE
• Full English, Español, and 简体中文 support across every screen, including safety-critical content like first-aid steps and the Safety Education articles.
FREE FOREVER, PLUS AN OPTIONAL UPGRADE
• Every safety feature is free forever, with no account needed: every locator category, offline map, offline routing, Emergency Mode, Disaster Toolkits, Search, Safety Education, one Medical ID profile, and the language picker.
• PlainMap Pro ($1.99/month, optional) adds voice-guided turn-by-turn narration, unlimited saved pins, local backup export/import, and a printable Medical ID card — convenience features only, never anything safety-critical.
IMPORTANT: PlainMap helps you find real facilities and provides general safety information — it does not replace professional medical care or official emergency guidance. In an emergency, always call your local emergency services first.
