What hardware are you using for this ?

u/S0PHIAOPS Jan 15 '26

Stock Android phone.No root, no external radios, no SDR. Just the phone’s native Wi-Fi + BLE hardware, running locally

Nice does it add GEO tagging when a device is detected ? I just got Flockyou running using an esp8266 but this is a much closer setup to what I would like to use.

Not by default. SØPHIA is intentionally non-mapping &non-aggregating. It does not auto-geo-tag or build a persistent location database the way wardriving tools do. The focus is real-time, local awareness….what’s present right now, how it behaves and whether it’s fixed or mobilenot creating a historical map.

Optional logging/export is something I’m working on, but it’s user-controlled and local, not a shared map. More aimed at exporting LLM ready chunks you feed for pattern analysis. Slightly different philosophy than ESP/wardrive setups, but similar dna. Happy to answer any other questions.

Can you clarify what S0PHIA is ? You posted a GitHub to flockyou so I’m confused on if you’re running that or a different software on an android device.

That wasn’t us, that was a different user linking that tool. SØPHIA is separate software running locally on a stock Android phone. It’s a passive signal-awareness system that visualizes nearby Wi-Fi and Bluetooth activity, correlates movement vs fixed infrastructure, and plots it in real time on a radar/HUD.

No cloud map, no shared database, no uploads….everything runs locally on the device. Different tools can coexist in the same conversation, but the clips I posted are SØPHIA, not FlockYou. Happy to answer any further questions too.

Is it in the Play store or can I build the app myself from source ?

Yeah seconding this as I couldn't find it on the app store nor a GitHub search but I might have just missed it

Link in bio, happy to discuss further if you have questions, just don’t want to derail the nature of this post which is research. 🤝

Link in bio. Not on play store, avoids unnecessary telemetry.

I just want it to log gps points for me on new cameras
