Hey HN,
I built MBCompass, a lightweight, privacy-friendly compass app for Android. It works fully offline, doesn’t ask for unnecessary permissions (no GPS, no internet), and is open source.

It’s only ~1.7 in size and uses a low-pass filter to smooth sensor readings.
I’d love feedback or thoughts – especially from others building simple, privacy-first apps!
