Field notes
Buddy uses a trip code, link, or QR invitation rather than account creation for joining a group. Its stated operating rules are unusually concrete: locations refresh every 15 seconds, a member more than 1 km behind triggers an alert, and a three-hour trip typically uses 8–12% battery. The homepage says history is deleted after 24 hours and marks Android support as forthcoming.
