Boilerplate (copy & paste)
English (100 words)
Flashmark is a one-button location marker for iPhone, built by an independent developer. Tap MARK to save your current location with timestamp, accuracy, coordinates, and an optional note. Find it later from a clean list or map, or open in Apple Maps for directions. Triggerable via Siri, Shortcuts, the Action Button, and Back Tap. No account, no cloud, no ads, no third-party SDK — saved data lives entirely on the device. Free on the App Store, available worldwide including the China App Store.
中文（100 字）
Flashmark 是一款独立开发者打造的 iPhone 极简位置标记工具。按下 MARK 即可保存当前位置（时间、精度、经纬度和可选备注），之后可从列表或地图中查看，或一键打开 Apple 地图导航。支持 Siri、快捷指令、Action Button、背面轻点等多种触发方式。无需账号、不联网、无广告、不接入任何第三方 SDK，所有数据只存在用户设备上。免费上架 App Store，全球可下载（含中国大陆 App Store）。
Key talking points
- One button, one purpose. Tap MARK to capture current location with timestamp, accuracy, coordinates, and an optional note. Nothing else.
- Triggers everywhere. Siri, Shortcuts, Action Button, Back Tap — you never need to open the app to mark a place.
- Privacy by design. No account, no cloud, no ads, no analytics, no third-party SDK. All data stays on the device.
- Pure App Intents architecture. The entire app is one App Intent surfaced through every iOS entry point.
- Built by a designer with AI pair programming. Solo dev, no team, no funding — written with SwiftUI + Claude Code / Codex.

FAQ
- Why is it not on Android?
- I'm an iOS developer working solo. Doing one platform well beats two platforms badly.
- How do you make money?
- Currently free with no monetization. May add a one-time Pro tier later (custom widgets, export formats, etc.). No subscription planned.
- How does it differ from Apple Maps "Mark My Location"?
- Faster (one tap, no app launch), persistent (a list of all marks, not just one), and triggerable from Siri / Action Button / Back Tap. Apple's feature is one-shot only.
- Privacy specifics?
- Location is requested only when you tap MARK or trigger via Siri/Shortcut. No always-on tracking. No data leaves the device. No analytics SDK. No ads SDK. The app has no internet requirement for its core function.
- Open source?
- Not currently. May open source the App Intents portion for educational value.
