About
Lightweight, opt-in “who’s around” for your group — no accounts, no real names, no tracking. You and your friends agree on a short room code (any word + numbers), each pick a handle and an optional status, and tap Go live: everyone on that code sees who’s present and how recently. It’s deliberately ephemeral — presence lives only in memory and auto-expires ~90 seconds after your last ping, so leaving (or closing the app) makes you vanish. Pure D-pad. Great for a festival, conference, hike or campus where you just want a glanceable “my people are here”.
