## What is Beam?

Find your friends at festivals, concerts and events with Beam — the app that shows you exactly where your friends are through your camera.

Simply open the app, select the friend you're looking for, and a glowing beam of light will appear through your camera pointing directly at them — even in a crowd of thousands.

HOW IT WORKS
- Open Beam and select the friend you want to find
- A laser beam appears in your camera view pointing at their location
- Walk toward the beam — it updates as they move
- When you get close, tap "Found them!" to celebrate

FEATURES
- Live AR beam — see exactly which direction your friend is
- Real-time location updates as your friend moves
- Works at any distance — festivals, parks, cities
- Friend requests and location sharing controls
- Groups — create a group for your festival camp and share a code
- Privacy first — you control who can see your location
- Your data stays in the EU

PRIVACY
Your location is only shared with friends you personally approve. You can turn sharing on or off per friend at any time, and delete your account whenever you want.
