## What is Whencee?

Share a code. See each other on a map. Leave, and it's like it never happened.

Whencee is a live-location map for small groups — family finding each other at a fair, friends converging on a restaurant, a crew on a road trip. Start a map, share the 6-character code, and everyone on it sees everyone else, sorted by distance, with a group chat that rides along.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT

• No accounts. No sign-up, ever. Open the app, pick a name, go.
• Nothing is kept. A map lives only while people are on it. When the last person leaves, everything — positions, chat, all of it — is deleted within minutes. There is no history to leak, sell, or subpoena.
• End-to-end encrypted. Give a map a passphrase and names, positions and messages are encrypted on your phone and readable only by your group. The server relays ciphertext it cannot open.
• Fair by design. You see people only while you share your own position — enforced by the server, not the honor system. Nobody lurks invisibly.
• Meeting points and markers. Long-press the map to drop a pin everyone sees, labelled with how far each person is from it.
• Several maps at once. Family in one, friends in another — switch with a tap, each with its own code, passphrase and chat.

Location is shared only while you are on a map you joined, with a visible indicator the whole time, and stops the moment you leave. Whencee has no ads, no analytics, and no trackers.
