How can we help?
Short answers to common questions are below. For anything else, write to us.
Signing in
How do I sign in?
With a code sent to your e-mail, or with your Google or Apple account. For the code, enter your e-mail address in Shawk, then the code from the e-mail.
Do I need an account?
Not in the installed apps: without an account your map stays on your device. Sync, version history and purchases need an account, and the web version always needs one.
Why is there a check before the code is sent?
When you ask for an e-mail code, Cloudflare Turnstile runs a short check to tell that the request is not from a bot. We only receive a pass or fail answer.
Sync and offline
Does Shawk work offline?
Yes. Your changes are saved on your device first. With an account, your maps sync across all your devices.
Is there a sync limit?
Yes, on every plan: a map syncs up to 10,000 nodes. A map over the limit stops syncing; it keeps working on that device, can always be exported, and nothing is deleted. Sync resumes by itself once the map is back under the limit.
Your map and account
How do I export my map?
In the app: Settings › Export. You can export on every plan, also after a subscription ends and when a map is over the sync limit.
How do I delete my account?
In the app: Settings › Account › Delete account; you can export your map on the same screen first. Without the app, write “Delete my account” to privacy@shawkmap.com from your account's e-mail address.
A subscription bought in the App Store or Google Play is not cancelled with the account; cancel it in the store. A web or desktop subscription through Paddle is cancelled with the account.
All the steps and what is deleted: Delete your account.
