When off, new catches stay in your Garage only — nothing is posted for
other spotters to see. Catches you already posted stay posted.

and "never" just mean "don't hide anything earlier than that."

XP Race
When set to keep scanning, a race catch scores and leaves you on
the camera instead of asking where to go.
Camera
If the camera doesn't size itself right on your phone, this opens
a corner handle to resize it by hand and a slider to resize the buttons below it.
Saved on this device — reset to auto any time.
BOOSTED ZOOM LIMIT
Past about 10× a hand-held
phone shakes more than it magnifies, and digital zoom stops adding detail — the
higher settings help you aim, not the AI.
AUTO-SCAN HOLD TIME
How long AUTO waits on one car before it
shoots. Shorter catches moving traffic; longer gives you time to steady a distant one.
Cool mode: runs the camera at 720p/24fps and checks for cars less often so the
phone stays cool and the battery lasts. Turn it off for the sharpest possible live preview —
scanning accuracy is the same either way. Takes effect the next time the camera starts.
Catch reveal: the flash, spin-in and sparks when a card lands. Turn it off
for an instant plain card — try this first if the phone app ever crashes right as a catch
comes up.
Voice shutter: with the camera up, say "catch" (or snap, shoot, scan)
to fire the shutter hands-free — say it again to scan the framed shot. Plate blur
pixelates any license plate the scanner spots before a photo goes to the public feed
or a race; your own garage copy stays untouched.
Your last 10 scan attempts — caught, missed, or queued offline — each
one retryable without lining up the shot again.
The fullscreen button (⛶ on the viewfinder) expands the camera edge
to edge, with CAPTURE / UPLOAD / BURST floating over it.
Scan zoom is the push-in on the car while a scan runs. If it keeps
framing the wrong thing for you, turn it off.
Grid draws framing thirds over the viewfinder. Blur warn checks a
captured shot and tells you if it's soft before you scan it.
Display
Classic is the plain cream. Seasonal tints the casing for the
current quarter. Medal backgrounds unlock in the Trophy Room.
Notifications
Lets this device ping you — a daily nudge to go
dexing, plus whatever else gets added later. Nothing sends until you turn this on.
On iPhone, the app must be opened from the home-screen icon, not a browser tab.
At most 5 notifications a day in total, no matter how
many categories are on — turn off whatever you don't want pinging you.

If the leaderboard shows a different XP or catch count than your
own bix, tap this — it republishes your standing from what's actually in your garage
right now.
About
Carbix is a fan-made project, not affiliated with or endorsed
by any other car-spotting app. It's invite-only: access is for spotters who were
invited by a friend. If the feed or leaderboards won't load for you, or your posts
disappear, you may not be on the list — ask the person who invited you to check,
or ask any question in the group chat. Car identification is AI-powered and can be
wrong; specs and values are estimates, not gospel. Car photos courtesy of
