## What is Veya by GhostFlow?

Veya by GhostFlow is a trusted-friends live map for staying connected, coordinating meetups, and checking in with the people you know.

Create private circles, share live or last-known location with approved friends, coordinate meetups, chat with friends or circles, and send quick safety check-ins. Veya is designed around consent, clarity, and real-world coordination: only approved friends, circle members, or meetup participants can access shared location, and location permissions remain under the user's control.

Key features:

- Live map for trusted friends and circles
- Private friend codes, circle invites, and Veya share links
- Meetup creation with place search, directions, invitations, arrival status, and history
- Friend and circle chat with message alerts, unread badges, photos, location cards, and reactions
- Online / offline presence with recent area and motion context
- Safety Check-In to the active circle
- System, light, and dark appearance
- English and Chinese language support

Veya is not an emergency service. Use it with people you know and trust.
