Lodestone - Field Guide
iOS Universel / Références
Signal fails at the worst moment. Lodestone doesn't.
A professional-grade field reference library built for people who operate where connectivity ends — field medics, humanitarian responders, wilderness guides, and expedition professionals. Everything works completely offline, always.
WHY LODESTONE EXISTS
Most reference apps assume you have a signal. Most field situations don't give you one.
Lodestone is built around a single principle: the knowledge you need must be available exactly when you need it — no bars required, no account login, no loading screen. The entire library lives on your device from the moment you install it.
RAPID: 15-SECOND EMERGENCY ACCESS
Open the RAPID tab. Your 15 highest-priority emergency reference cards are already there — no search, no setup, no internet.
CRITICAL tier covers: Severe Hemorrhage · Airway Obstruction · Cardiac Arrest / CPR · Anaphylaxis · Shock Recognition
URGENT tier covers: Burns · Fracture & Splinting · Wound Infection · Dehydration & ORS · Hypothermia · Head Injury
ESSENTIAL tier covers: Water Purification · Emergency Signaling · Comms Protocols · Shelter · Fire Starting
Tap any card. Step-by-step instructions expand instantly. This feature works on a brand-new install with zero configuration.
EIGHT DOMAINS OF FIELD KNOWLEDGE
Austere Medicine — Hemorrhage control, airway management, fracture care, burns, shock, infection, ORS preparation, psychological first aid, and tactical trauma protocols. Written for educated non-specialists in resource-limited settings.
Engineering & Scavenging — Improvised tools, generator maintenance, structural assessment, rope rigging, field fabrication, and utility shutoffs.
Secure Communications — Radio procedure, mesh networking, satellite messengers, antenna builds, traffic analysis, and offline mapping.
Urban Evasion & Survival — Low-visibility movement, safe-room assessment, utility failures, vector control, post-incident documentation.
Long-Term Sustenance — Water purification, soil health, seed saving, small livestock, aquaponics, and caloric planning.
Cold Weather & Hypothermia — Recognition, rewarming protocols, frostbite care, shelter insulation, and cold-weather decision trees.
Desert & Heat Illness — Heat stroke vs. heat exhaustion, hydration protocols, shade construction, and desert navigation.
Navigation & Land Movement — Map reading, dead reckoning, pace counting, terrain association, and night movement.
SEARCH THAT THINKS LIKE YOU DO
Don't know the exact term? Doesn't matter.
Lodestone's on-device semantic search understands concepts, not just keywords. Type "patient won't wake up" and find cardiac and head-injury protocols. Type "water from a stream" and find purification procedures. The AI model runs entirely on your device — no query ever leaves your phone.
BUILT FOR HIGH-STAKES PRIVACY
Zero analytics. Zero crash reporters. Zero advertising SDKs. Zero network requests. Ever.
The full knowledge base ships bundled with the app. Your bookmarks and search history exist only on your device. Lodestone cannot phone home because it has no home to call.
Optional passphrase lock protects access. A secondary data-protection passphrase is available for situations where device security is a concern — entering it clears local history and presents a neutral interface.
