StrictNav is not your typical navigator. Inspired by the legendary frustrated driving instructors of Lucknow, this app uses Google's latest Gemini 3 Flash AI to "shout" at you in sarcastic, aggressive Hindi whenever you miss a turn in Google Maps.
- 🤬 AI-Powered Insults (Gemini 3): Dynamic, context-aware insults generated in real-time by Gemini 3 Flash.
- 🎙️ Multimodal Audio: Native "shouting" voice output directly from the AI for maximum emotional impact.
- 🎭 Cultural Personas: Choose your instructor's flavor!
- Lucknowi: Tehzeeb-filled sharp sarcasm.
- Haryanvi: Rustic, direct, and unapologetically blunt.
- Delhi: Urban, impatient "Bhai" culture.
- Bihari: Witty and colloquial scolding.
- 🛰️ Background Monitoring: Uses
NotificationListenerServiceto detect rerouting events from Google Maps even when the app is in the background. - 📊 Real-time Event Logs: A built-in log viewer to watch the AI's "thought process" as it crafts your next humiliation.
- 🔊 Robust Fallbacks: Intelligent failover to high-impact "Shouty" System TTS if AI audio generation is restricted.
- Sense: The app monitors system notifications for keywords like "Rerouting" or "Recalculating" from Google Maps.
- Think & Speak: A single multimodal request is sent to Gemini.
- Outcome: Within milliseconds, you receive both a sharp Hindi text insult and a high-quality audio clip of a frustrated instructor yelling at you.
