HYVE SLEUTH — OSINT smart-launcher (Pro Intel tool)
Sleuth indexes 100+ public OSINT resources — CourtListener, PACER, Justia, UniCourt, BOP federal inmate locator, VINELink, NSOPW national sex-offender registry, Family Watchdog, OpenCorporates, BBB, Zillow, Redfin, voter rolls, property tax, military records, professional licensing, bankruptcy, news archives.

HYVE RESIDENTIAL — distressed-property intel (Pro Intel tool)
Browse every distressed property in your county directly in the Spy app — no download. Foreclosure pipeline (filed → notice → hearing → sale → sold/dismissed), tax-delinquent properties (years owed, amount due, penalties), HOA / mechanic / contractor / judgment liens, and combined property-profile cards (parcel + owner + tax + lien history). Each property gets a 0-100 distress score so the highest-stress targets sort to the top. One-click cross-link to Sleuth on the owner — instantly check court / corrections / OSINT records on the person. Same data PropStream / DealMachine / BatchLeads charge $200-$1,000/mo for, included with Pro. Wake + Mecklenburg + more NC counties on launch.
57,260 live crime reports — 20 cities, refreshed daily
Real incident pins (not heatmaps) refreshed daily at 9am UTC from city open-data portals: NYC · LA · Chicago · Philadelphia · Minneapolis · SF · Seattle · Raleigh · Dallas · Lewisville TX · DC · Tucson · Houston · Montgomery County MD · Valdosta GA · Gainesville FL · Buffalo · Boulder CO · Marin County CA · Halifax NS. 12 category icons (🔫 shooting, 💀 homicide, 👊 assault, 💰 robbery, 🏚 burglary, 🚗 vehicle theft, 🛒 theft, 💊 drug, 🎨 vandalism, 🔥 arson, 💳 fraud, ⚠ sex offense). Click any pin → 🎙 SCANNER AUDIO with 3 closest live feeds + Broadcastify Premium archive deep-link + OpenMHz public calls.
Live alert pipeline — 3 detection signals
Three independent signals all fire into one push pipeline: (1) Whisper STT keyword detection running continuously on Railway transcribes scanner audio for words like "shots fired", "structure fire", "officer down". (2) Listener-spike — when a feed's listener count jumps 5× its baseline, an incident is in progress. (3) Transmission-burst — >8 calls in 30s on OpenMHz feeds. Opt in once in Settings, set your radius (1–50 mi), grant location + notification permission. Push hits within seconds.
Multi-provider AI summaries (BYOK)
Bring your own API key from any provider — Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT, Google Gemini, OpenRouter, Groq, or Ollama (self-hosted). Auto-detects provider from key prefix. Optional model override. Summarizes recent radio traffic in 2-3 sentences for the public-safety listener. Keys stored locally on your device only.
FOIA request generator — every feed
Tap any incident, download a fillable PDF pre-formatted with the agency's records office, the exact incident timestamp, talkgroup, and 8 enumerated request items. Now works for ANY scanner feed — not just the ones with formal FOIA contacts. Generic [Agency] Records Office fallback uses agency name + state when no formal contact is configured.
Cross-device account + cloud sync
Magic-link or password sign-in. Your watchlist, FOIA log, and chat handle sync between web (any browser), Android app, and PWA on iOS. Sign in once on web, the Android hybrid app inherits your session via cookie injection. No tracking — Ghost Mode is on by default.
Tactical dark map + 15 dedicated tabs
Bottom nav (3 rows × 5 cols): Map · Feeds · Cams · Crime · Intel · Globe · W-Cams · TV · Radio · Watch · Settings · Pulse · Roulette · Ticker · Panopticon. Each tab loads only its own data — no monolithic loads. Custom dark CARTO tiles. Marker clustering keeps 100k+ pin layers responsive even on cheap phones.
PULSE — live national activity heatmap
Where in America is something HAPPENING right now? Pulse fuses three independent live signals into one live-glow heat layer: scanner listener-spikes (5× normal traffic = real responders + civilians tuning in because something just went down), recent crime cadence (cities with 3+ incidents in the last 24h), and Whisper STT keyword bursts. The country pulses red where shit is going down, without you needing to know in advance where to look. Refreshes every 60s. The first crime weather radar — nobody else has all three signals in one product.
ROULETTE — random live anywhere
One button. Drops you into a random place on Earth and serves up: closest live scanner feed (audio plays), four nearest cameras (auto-refreshing snapshots every 5 seconds), the closest local TV + radio station from our 39k/54k catalogs, and recent crime within 25 miles. Stay 30 seconds or roll again. ChatRoulette for live reality — except every destination is real, every camera is live, and every scanner is broadcasting current public-safety dispatches. Weighted-random by listener count so popular feeds appear more often, but a single-truck volunteer fire department in Wyoming still has a real shot at being where you land. Goes viral on screenshot.
TICKER — national 911 ticker
A scrolling Bloomberg-terminal-style bar of dispatched/breaking events, nationwide, in real time. Listener-spike feeds (top scanner activity by current listeners) and recent crime incidents (last 24h, sorted by recency) interleaved into one continuous national pulse: 🔫 SHOTS FIRED · Detroit MI · 14s ago 🏚 STRUCTURE FIRE · Atlanta GA · 23s ago 👁 PURSUIT · Tampa FL · 47s ago. Click any item → drops onto the map. The first national real-time emergency feed of its kind — every other ticker covers one city or one type. This is the country.
PANOPTICON — "how surveilled am I right now?"
Drop a pin on the map (or hit "Score Me" for geolocation) → instant 0-100 Panopticon Score for that exact spot, with full breakdown: number of Flock LPR readers, ShotSpotter mics, drone deployments, face-recognition systems, Stingrays, fusion centers, public CCTVs, and body-cam programs within 1 mile. Each device type weighted by privacy invasiveness (Stingrays heaviest, body cams lightest). Severity color: green CLEAR → amber ELEVATED → red PANOPTICON. A working tool for journalists, protesters, and the privacy-conscious — and a viral civic-tech screenshot generator. Nobody else joins the EFF surveillance dataset + DeFlock + OSM CCTV layer in one query.
Per-channel community chat
Listeners on the same scanner feed can chat in real time. Collapsible side panel inside every feed detail. Sign in once, your handle and history sync across all your devices.
Native Android app + PWA
Hybrid Android APK with native scanner audio playback (background, lock-screen controls, no autoplay restrictions) and WebView for everything else (auto-inherits your sign-in via cookie sharing). Installable PWA on iOS. Tester APK at hyveapp.co/spy/downloads.
Cameras refresh + repopulate every 4 hours
Every 4 hours, an automated validator HEAD-requests every camera URL we know about, marks dead ones inactive, and pulls fresh inventory from upstream sources (state DOTs, NPS parks, USGS volcanoes, Windy, EarthCam, port authorities). New cams added by upstream providers appear in the next sweep; rotted URLs get culled within a day. The site you load tomorrow has different cameras than today — always live, always trimmed.
Tactical radar loading — never silent
Every page transition shows a tactical radar sweep: concentric rings with subtle pulses, rotating arm with a fading trail, blip-spawns simulating target detection, and an indeterminate progress bar. Color matches each tab's accent. So you always know the app is working — even when pulling 100k+ markers across the wire.
Sentinel — one-shot camera exposure audit
Pay $9.99-$49.99 once, list the cameras / IPs / domains you own, sign the authorization agreement, and we deliver a plain-English report: which of your devices are exposed to the internet, what kind of exposure (Hikvision unauthenticated UI, Dahua default credentials, Foscam weak password, Axis open RTSP, etc.), and step-by-step instructions to fix each one. Real probes — DNS, TLS, HTTP, vendor-specific camera detection, exposed-DB-port checks. Same legal model as professional pen-testing. Live now at /spy/app/sentinel.
Scout — automated infrastructure pen test
$49.99-$299.99, one-shot pen test for your own domains and IPs. Real probes: SPF/DMARC missing, TLS expired, weak ciphers, missing security headers, exposed admin panels, public database ports, dangling CNAMEs (subdomain takeover). Same chassis as Sentinel — sign authorization, register assets, get a severity-color-coded report with click-by-click remediation per finding. Live now at /spy/app/sentinel.
Built across three runtimes for maximum uptime
Same hyve-api codebase deployed three ways: Vercel for fast edge-cached HTTP reads (lazy-loaded layers + CDN cache), Railway for the always-on Whisper STT worker that needs continuous CPU, and GitHub Actions for free 5-minute alert polls. Every signal-detection layer runs independently — one platform's outage doesn't kill the others.
Built for the field
No mockups. These are screenshots of the actual app running on a Galaxy S24 Ultra, pulling real data from real public-safety dispatch systems and DOT cameras right now.
