Penguin is an iPhone navigation app that compares routes by travel time and the number of surveillance cameras along the way.

Why it surfaced

Its central promise is unusually concrete: choose between the fastest route, a lower-camera route, or a route with none in the example trip. The site says its underlying map covers 131,654 cameras and identifies operators including Flock Safety, Lowe’s, Home Depot, and police departments; the app is still awaiting its TestFlight launch.

The Largest Cat Has No Number

August 14’s newborn domains include an unnumbered giant among thirteen catalogued glossy cats, a shareable Visual Snow Syndrome simulator, two independent Colombian relief directories, and a snail farm with races, courtship, and its own Gazette.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-14 Domain Arrivals issue.
