About

Find friends in busy places with wherio, a live friend compass and location sharing app for temporary meetups. Follow the direction and distance to your friends on a compass or shared map.

Meet up at festivals, concerts, unfamiliar cities, busy events and packed car parks. Share a six-character session code, accept the people joining you and see the distance count down as you walk.

HOW WHERIO WORKS

1. Create a short-lived session — no account or phone number required. 2. Share the six-character code or join link. 3. Accept the other person, then follow the compass and map until you meet.

BUILT FOR MEETING UP

• See the direction and distance to each person in your session • Watch positions update on a shared live map • Set a meeting point or choose a walkable midpoint • Use encrypted session chat without leaving the map • Unlock Wherio Plus for groups of up to four

PRIVATE BY CONSTRUCTION

Locations and chat are end-to-end encrypted between session members. The relay forwards encrypted data it cannot read. Sessions are temporary, and Wherio does not keep a location history.

Wherio is designed for active, short-lived meetups — not continuous family tracking. Use it at festivals, concerts, crowded venues, on trips or wherever “where are you?” needs a clearer answer.

From “where are you?” to “there you are.”
