## What is Campfyre?

Campfyre turns your neighbourhood into a live map of things happening right now.

Drop a flare — rooftop hangout, street cricket, chai run, late-night drive — and watch your people show up. Join one nearby and jump straight into the group chat. No invites, no RSVPs, no planning three weeks out. Just open the app, see what's live, and go. When the vibe dies, the flare goes out.

HOW IT WORKS

→ Open the map and see flares happening around you
→ Tap to join — you're in the group chat instantly
→ Drop your own flare in under 30 seconds
→ Flares expire automatically — no ghost events, no dead plans

REAL PLANS, REAL FAST

campfyre is for the plans that actually happen. Skip the "are we doing this?" thread. Someone drops a flare, people show up, it's a night. That's it.

MEET YOUR PEOPLE

Every flare has its own group chat. Talk to everyone going, coordinate in real time, figure out who's running late. When the flare ends, the chat stays — so the friendships don't.

YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD IS LIVE

Whether it's a study spot, a pickup game, a random rooftop, or the best chai stall on the block — if it's happening, it's on the map. You just have to show up.
