## What is Beacon?

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.
