Beacon: Find Your People

Beacon keeps your group together at a festival, even when there is no signal.

When 100,000 phones crush one cell tower, everything else stops. Texts won't send. Find My won't refresh. Snap Map freezes. Beacon keeps working, because it carries your group's live location from phone to phone over Bluetooth. No bars needed.

WORKS WHEN THE SIGNAL DIES This is what makes Beacon different. The moment data drops, nearby phones relay everyone's position to each other over Bluetooth and peer to peer Wi-Fi, even hopping through strangers' phones to reach you. Those handoffs are encrypted, so the phones carrying your location can never read it. Beacon shows you when it is holding on this way and how many nearby phones are keeping you connected.

A RADAR, NOT A MAP A dot on a map is useless in a dark, moving crowd. Beacon points a live arrow straight at the person you pick, with their exact distance, and gets precise to the last few metres using Ultra Wideband. For the final steps it runs warmer and colder over Bluetooth, and it buzzes you the moment you are within 50 metres.

ONE PRESS SOS Hold the SOS button and your whole group instantly gets your live location and a loud alarm that cuts through, even if their phone is locked and Beacon is closed. Beacon also warns you if your own alerts are switched off, so a friend's SOS can always reach you.

STAY TOGETHER Drop a meeting point everyone can walk to. Nudge a friend who has drifted off to buzz their phone. Talk in a group chat that keeps working offline, carried over the same phone to phone network as your locations.

THE WHOLE FESTIVAL, BUILT IN Search your festival and get the full lineup by day and stage, with set times and a now playing marker. Star the sets you want and Beacon reminds you before they start. See which of your friends are going to each set, follow your favourite artists to hear when they join a lineup, and get picks for who to catch next. The food and bar pins are on the map too.

SMART WITH YOUR BATTERY Beacon saves power by default and only turns on full precision while you are actively finding someone. It also shows each friend's battery, so you know who is about to go dark.

JOIN IN 30 SECONDS No account. No phone number. No sign up. Share a six character code or scan a QR and you are together before you reach the gate. Add an email only if you want to save your regular people for next time.

YOURS AND YOURS ALONE Your location is only ever seen by your group, only while you are in a session, and it is deleted the moment you leave. Never sold, no ads, no trackers. Go invisible whenever you want, with a clear reminder while you are hidden.

Beacon is free.
