Mapbox API Token

Use your own Mapbox account for increased availability. The free tier should suffice.

Demo Mode

Demo mode obfuscates timeline data so it can be screenshotted, recorded, and shared without revealing personal information.

• Names, phone numbers, email addresses, and other personal attributes will be random.
• Text content will be replaced with gibberish.
• Images and videos will be blurred. (On-the-fly video transcoding may use more resources.)
• Locations will NOT be obfuscated except for circles drawn below.
• Dates and times are NOT obfuscated.
• Obfuscated values are mapped consistently throughout your experience. In other words, a person's name will show as the same random name everywhere.

Data file names

When enabled, the names of data files will be obfuscated. However, these filenames are seldom displayed, and this prevents content from those files from loading. This option is primarily useful when viewing the streaming progress of an import job.

Locations

Obscuring location data is nuanced. Locations are obfuscated within selected radii (circles) because obfuscating all location data indiscrimately makes map data incomprehensible. Instead, location data within selected circles will be shifted by an offset, and then a random delta will be applied. This combination makes it difficult to determine the secret centroid while also mitigating overlay attacks which recover the true coordinates.

Click the button and then click-and-drag on the map to draw a circle around a point, starting with the center of the circle, until the circle is large enough to provide sufficient misdirection. Then give each circle a description for your own convenience.

Advanced

Server address

The address for the server to listen on.

Frontend directory

If set, serves this website from a folder on disk instead of the file system embedded into the application binary. Useful for development.
