About Beacon: Where Plans Happen

Wanting to do something was never the hard part. Finding someone to do it with — someone who's into the same thing, actually free, and close enough — that's a part-time job. Beacon takes that job off your hands. Open the map and see what's actually happening around you right now — quiet coffee hangs, pickup soccer, rooftop nights that won't stay secret. HOW IT WORKS • Look around — the map shows what's happening near you, live. • Drop or join a beacon — find something that hits and tap in, or drop your own: what, where, when, and who can see it. • Show up — no endless planning. Meet people and see where the moment takes you. WHY IT WORKS • Right now, near you — no scheduling acrobatics, no hunting for the one slot that works across six calendars. • People on your wavelength — beacons reach people who are into the same things, so you show up as yourself. • Plans that fit your vibe — filter by interest, time, and group size. Group chat included for the "we're in the back corner" logistics. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT • No one sees your name or location until you decide they should. • Your quiet beacons — home, routines, travel — light up the map's activity glow, never your identity. • Share your exact spot only with a meetup you've joined, when it's time to find each other. • Report and block anyone, anywhere in the app. Beacon is for adults 18+. Stop scrolling. Start going out. Questions or feedback: [email protected]

What’s new

Version 1.0.4 · Updated October 27, 2026

What's New • Redesigned Friends page: three tabs, an easier way to add people, and a QR badge on your profile so friends can find you fast. • Activity nicknames: set a name for each activity you join. Other members see it, with your real name underneath. • Calendar and maps your way: pick which calendar app to add activities to, and Beacon remembers your maps app. You can change both in Settings. Calendar entries now link back to the activity. • After you sign up, the map opens where you are. • Placing your home now fills in your profile's neighborhood. • Sign-in codes can be pasted or autofilled from your texts. • New interest: Dancing Fixes and polish • Chat messages arrive live again, and chats open properly from notifications and profiles. • Cleaner notification bell and previews. • Confirmation pop-ups are centered and always have a Cancel button. • Easier-to-see close button on full-screen photos. • The panel for a map pin with several activities no longer hides behind the tab bar. • A new account on a shared phone no longer sees the previous account's contact matches.
