An offline-first iPhone field notebook for recording rocks, minerals, and fossils with photos, notes, tests, and private location data.

Why it surfaced

RockKeep treats location privacy as part of the field workflow: exact pins stay on the device, while synced records use generalized locations and photos are re-encoded to remove location metadata. Its specimen record—hardness, streak, luster, sample number, and discovery context—makes this more than a camera roll for rock hunters.

Ham Is Specifically Discouraged

August 10’s newborn domains include a mock cryptid council that specifically discourages ham, a vintage phone collecting messages for Twyla’s 70th, a 4.5-meter dish measuring Galactic hydrogen at 1420 MHz, and an open index that found 530 sites permitting GPTBot in robots.txt while refusing it at the server.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-10 Domain Arrivals issue.
