- Friends meeting at crowded events and venues
- Worth noticing
- The site says its server enforces a 10–200-metre visibility radius; event groups can share a link and see one another within 500 metres.
Field notes
The described setup uses a six-character friend code for accepted contacts, while event groups can form through a shared link without becoming friends. The site says close-range Bluetooth or UWB can help when people are only metres apart, and a barometer can indicate that someone is on another floor. These are homepage descriptions; the app is listed as being in closed Android testing.
