§ 02 — Product
Download with signal. Trust it without.
Every key flow is tuned for a remote festival environment: big touch targets, fast lookup, bundled data, and navigation that still makes sense when your phone is dusty, bright, and almost flat.
The app keeps the practical pieces close: the Binnekring map, registered projects, family-friendly filtering, camp pinning, GPS context, and travel notes from Cape Town, Ceres, and Calvinia. Download it with signal. Trust it without.
§ 03 — Built for the dust
Everything important, bundled.
Every registered project in your pocket.

Long-press anywhere to drop a pin and find your way home through the dust.

See it in action.
§ 05 — Binnekring
A real map, not a placeholder.
The marketing site includes the actual event-map preview so people understand the spatial product before downloading it. The app version lets them pan, zoom, and drop a camp pin for the week.
§ 06 — Details
Things burners need to know.
01Do I need signal at the burn?
No. Maps, projects, events, and directions are bundled before you leave home.
02Why does content unlock on arrival?
The geofence keeps the app a companion to being there. Arrive within the Tankwa radius and the guide opens automatically.
03Is it official?
No. It is an unofficial companion built by a burner, not produced by AfrikaBurn.
