Yes — 100% free. No subscription, no ads, no premium tier that gates critical features. CampLoJack is funded by optional donations from people who want to support Austin's unhoused community. The app will always be free.
No account is required for the map, alerts, or resource finder. An optional account (Google, Facebook, or phone) lets you access community feed features and sync your profile across devices.
Open CampLoJack and tap the Map tab. Filter by "Shelter" to see all Austin emergency shelters including ARCH at 500 E 7th St (512-305-4100), Salvation Army at 501 E 8th St, and Caritas at 611 Neches St. For immediate help, call 211 (Austin's 24/7 resource hotline).
CampLoJack's Early Warning System checks Austin Police Department Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) data every 5 minutes and 311 complaint data every 15 minutes. When relevant activity is detected near your location, you receive a push notification — giving you time to safely move your belongings before enforcement arrives.
Yes. CampLoJack is a Progressive Web App (PWA) with a service worker that caches shelter locations, resource data, and the map. Install it to your home screen and critical information remains available even when you don't have WiFi or cell service.
CampLoJack supports English and Spanish (Español). Tap the language toggle in the app to switch. We plan to add more languages based on community need.
Yes — a dedicated Android app (com.camplojack.app) is available for sideloading and being submitted to the Google Play Store. In the meantime, you can install the PWA from your browser — it works identically to a native app.
Use the free app, share it with those who need it, or donate to keep the servers running and the alerts flowing 24/7.
