About Beacon

Beacon is a map of what your friends are up to and what is happening around town.

Light a beacon when you are heading somewhere: a run, a climb, a coffee, the farmers market. Share it with friends or a circle. They see it and can join you. Or share it as a public event, and anyone nearby can light their own beacon for it.

- Circles: start a circle and invite friends into it with a link or QR code
- Links: share any beacon with a link or QR code, and turn the link off when you like
- The map: see who is lit near you and what is on in town
- Join: tap a friend's beacon and you are in
- Public events: repair cafes, markets and meetups, and who is going
- Notifications when someone shares a beacon with you

Sign in with your phone number. No ads and no tracking. Usage analytics only if you turn it on, and never shared with another company. Report, block and account deletion are built in. Beacon is made by Techne for Gitcoin and is for people 18 and older.
