This launch evolves MBCompass from a simple compass into a lightweight, real-world navigation utility. It now adds full GPX track recording, so you can record routes, add waypoints, view stats, and export easily. What makes it stand out is how much it does while staying lightweight and focused. No bloat, just the essentials that matter when you’re outside. Compass + live location + track recording Waypoints, stats, and GPX export Reliable foreground tracking No ads, no tracking, no accounts
Hey everyone 👋
I’m Mubarak, the developer of MBCompass.
This is actually a second launch, but a very different one.
MBCompass started as a simple, clean compass app. With this release, I’ve pushed it further into something I personally felt was missing: a lightweight navigation tool that you can actually rely on outdoors without the complexity of full maps apps.
The biggest addition is full GPX track recording. You can now record routes, add waypoints, view stats like distance and speed, and export everything easily, all while keeping the app fast and minimal.
I intentionally avoided adding bloat. No accounts, no ads, no tracking, and no dependency on Google Play Services. Just the core features that matter, built to work reliably.
Just 2MB APK Size \o/
Would really love your feedback on:
The tracking experience (recording, stats, export)
UI/UX flow with the new bottom bar
What feels missing vs what feels unnecessary
Also happy to answer any technical questions about how it’s built.
Thanks for checking it out 🙌
I like your product! clean, lightweight, and actually respectful of the user (no ads, no tracking) is such a rare combo these days. Already checked it out and it really has that calm, no-nonsense feel — just a tool that does exactly what it’s supposed to do.
We launched our own product on Product Hunt yesterday, so we definitely feel the launch day nerves — sending support your way. Congrats, this is a really solid and thoughtful build
I'll be up front: though I will follow this thread and try the product out or see a demo of it when it is live, I would like to learn a bit more about what the competitive advantage of this is. I personally live on Google Maps, so what does this offer otherwise?
