## What is Breadcrumbs?

Stay close to your inner circle, with control over who can see where you are. Breadcrumbs combines current location sharing with pixel avatars and a native map.

SHARE WITH THE PEOPLE YOU CHOOSE
Create small private circles and invite friends or family with a one-use link. Confirm before joining. Joining a circle never shares your location automatically. Choose each person who can see you, then share for one hour, eight hours, or until you stop.

YOUR LOCATION, UNDER YOUR CONTROL
See your own position without creating a circle. Pan and pinch the map, or return to your location with one tap. Set sharing duration and background sharing for each person. Stop sharing with one person or everyone. See location freshness and GPS accuracy. Location history is not stored.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Location updates are encrypted on your iPhone for your chosen recipients. Invitations establish circle membership; member keys are trusted on first use and pinned on your device. Delete your account and circle membership from Settings.

A WARMER WAY TO STAY CONNECTED
See your circle represented by pixel avatars on a geographic map. A clearly labeled animated pixel-art demo neighborhood lets you preview the controls without sharing your location.

Breadcrumbs requires an internet connection. Background updates depend on iOS permissions, connectivity, and battery conditions, and are not continuous or guaranteed. It is not an emergency or safety-monitoring service. Accounts are tied to this device; account recovery and multiple-device sign-in are not currently supported.
