LOC8 - Know exactly where you are. Address, cross street, GPS.

LOC8 is a simple app that instantly shows your exact location the moment you open it. Your street address, cross street, GPS coordinates, altitude, and accuracy appear in large text with no menus or maps to navigate. Originally built by a police officer for high-stress situations where seconds matter, it’s now useful for anyone who needs to quickly confirm where they are in unfamiliar places. No accounts, no tracking, everything stays on your device.

Hey everyone 👋 I’m the maker of LOC8. I’m a full-time police officer and build software on the side. LOC8 actually started as a tool I built for myself after realizing how often you can get turned around in unfamiliar areas, apartment complexes, or large properties. In those moments, quickly knowing your exact location matters. The app is intentionally simple. Open it and it instantly shows your address, cross street, GPS coordinates, altitude, and accuracy. No maps, no menus, just the information you need immediately. What surprised me most while building this was how many people outside of public safety said they’d use something like this too. Would love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or ideas for where this could go next. Thanks for checking it out! 🙏
