No setup rituals, no reporting. Hodos reads the road through the phone in your pocket and turns every ordinary drive into a sharper map of potholes, rough stretches, and speed bumps. For you, and for whoever drives the same streets next.
Turn it on once, then keep doing what you were doing. Hodos works silently behind whatever is already on your screen.
Nothing here needs your attention while driving. The phone senses, the network corroborates, and the map keeps working when the signal does not.
On-device motion sensors separate real impacts from engine vibration and everyday movement, then tag potholes, speed bumps, and rough pavement automatically.
Accelerometer · GPS · Step detector · Pocket or mount · Zero screen time
When independent trips hit the same spot, Hodos confirms the hazard and updates the live map for the next person through.
Cache a nearby region over Wi-Fi once and the map keeps working through dead zones, tunnels, and back roads, hazards included.
20 km radius · Auto-cached · Hazards included
Confirmed impacts, ranked by severity.
Sustained bad pavement along a corridor.
Flagged where traffic calming sits.
Cleared once fixes are verified on the ground.
Hodos sits in your pocket, senses the road, and quietly turns every trip into map. This is what it looks like when you do look.
Start mapping once. Journeys begin and end on their own while you navigate, ride, or deliver in any other app.
Every drive gets a smoothness read, so you learn which roads treat your suspension well.
Pin the routes you repeat and watch them heal as verified repairs land on the map.
Queue observations without signal and cache a 20 km region over Wi-Fi.
Two quiet funding streams keep the map open: clearly labeled partner offers, and licensing of aggregated road-quality data. Your location is never the product.
Anyone with a phone and a road.
Garages, tire shops, fuel stops, and gear shops.
Road roughness, hazard feeds, corridor health.
Partner pins are always labeled. The road ahead is never for sale.
Aggregated road intelligence and clearly labeled partner offers fund the map. Personal location tracking is never the product.
Explore the live map or opt into road sensing immediately. No sign-ups, emails, or phone numbers required.
Observations near the start and end of your journey are discarded on your device so home and pickup locations stay private.
Partner offers are matched to road conditions and vehicle care, never personal behavioral profiling or invasive ad SDKs.
App code is MIT open source; the corroborated road dataset is CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, free for civic use and licensed for commercial fleets.
Short answers about how Hodos rides along, what it costs, and what it never collects.
Yes. Turn automatic mapping on once and Hodos runs silently in the background while you navigate, accept rides, or follow directions in whatever app you already use.
Two ways, both visible: commercial licensing of aggregated road-quality data to fleets, insurers, and cities, and clearly badged offers from partner shops inside the app and map.
Potholes are shown in crimson, rough road stretches in warm amber, speed bumps in violet, and repaired spots in emerald, keeping your blue location dot unmistakably clear.
Yes. The Android app queues observations locally when you're offline and can automatically cache a 20 km nearby map area over Wi-Fi.
Free for everyone. Open the live map, or install the Android app and just drive.
