## What is Location Capsule?

Location Capsule (LocApp)

Discover and share short public notes connected to real-world places.

LocApp lets you create messages tied to real locations, building a living map of ideas, experiences, and discoveries.

Add a short place-based note to help others discover local context, tips, and updates.

- Discover nearby messages  
Read notes shared by users within a radius you control (from 100 meters to 1 kilometer).

- Share your perspective  
Write short messages and attach them to your current location.

- Engage with the community  
Like messages that resonate with you and explore what others are sharing.

- Designed with privacy in mind  
LocApp uses limited account information and provides reporting and moderation tools for public content.

- Stay in control  
Adjust your discovery radius and manage your own messages anytime.

- Safe community experience  
Content moderation, reporting tools, and user controls help maintain a respectful environment for everyone.

Location Capsule transforms the world into a shared space for meaningful, location-based conversations.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.1.0 — 2026-08-17

Never a blank screen again.

• If there are no notes in your radius, we now show you the closest ones instead
  of an empty map.
• Every note shows the name of the place it was left at, not a pair of
  coordinates.
• Sharing a note now sends a link with a rich preview — it looks right in
  WhatsApp and iMessage. Prefer the old card? It's still there under "Share as
  image".
• We'll let you know when someone likes your note or leaves one near yours. No
  spam: a few a day at most, and never in the middle of the night.
• You can now share a whole hashtag, not just a single note.
• The default radius is now 3 km (if you already picked yours, it stays).

### 2.0.1 — 2026-08-10

LocApp 2.0 goes social!

• Create your account with just your email — no passwords, we send you a magic link.
• Get your own profile with a name, @username, and photo.
• Notes now show who left them, and you can comment on them.
• Follow people and discover their notes in the new "Following" feed.
• Get notified when someone starts following you.
• Share your profile with a direct link.
• Refreshed tutorial and design improvements throughout the app.
