One free account
WhySoSlow uses a single free burakov account (email, Google, or Apple) that works across all your apps and devices. Signing in is required — it’s what lets your personal edits sync between your phones and powers the optional AI advisor. There are no subscriptions and nothing to buy.What’s stored
- Your personal layer — the limits you fix and the markers you drop — is stored on your account and synced to the burakov server so it’s there on every device. It is not end-to-end encrypted, because syncing needs to read it.
- AI advisor photos (only if you turn the advisor on) are kept on the server so suggestions can be produced; your device deletes its copies after upload.
- The map, limits, and camera data live offline on your device as downloaded packs.
Permissions it asks for
1
Location — while in use
To show the limit where you are and warn you before cameras. WhySoSlow uses location only while
the app is open and on screen — there is no background or always-on location.
2
Camera — optional
Only for the AI sign advisor, and only when you enable it. With the advisor off, WhySoSlow
never uses the camera.
WhySoSlow is a personal project, not a business — your data isn’t sold or used for ads. It’s
built to help you drive, and shared as-is.
