Findu — a simple way to find each other and stay aware Tired of meeting friends without a clear address—or having an address in a city you don’t know? Try Findu. When both sides agree, you no longer need to keep pinging locations in other apps. Everything is clear on one relationship map. When a group is heading to the same place but everyone is a different distance away, when is the smartest time to leave? We don’t replace turn-by-turn navigation—but we give you the most intuitive sense of where everyone is, so you can choose a better moment to head out. Special attention: keep an eye on people you care about; when you’re out alone, family can know where you are—only if you allow it. We just want life to be simpler. Life was meant to be this simple. —————— Main features • Relationship map See yourself and friends on the map together. Refresh, fit all, navigate, and resolve addresses. Distance and estimated arrival at a glance. • Location sharing & trails With sharing on, your location updates on the interval you set. View your own and friends’ trails to revisit the journey. • Friends & groups Search and add friends, handle requests, set notes. Organize with groups and control who can see your location by group. • Privacy controls Master switch, group visibility, per-friend permission, and whether strangers can see your last location. Without your consent, others can’t casually view where you are. —————— More • Adjustable location strategy: use faster updates so friends see your progress more promptly, or longer intervals to save battery. Configure under Me → Location settings. • Background sharing: with Always location permission and sharing enabled, Findu can keep reporting at your chosen interval while in the background. Turn sharing off anytime. • Languages: Simplified Chinese and English. Location sharing, friends, and the map are free core features. Trail extras may be described in-app. —————— Battery & GPS notice Map refresh and friend location use GPS / location services. With sharing on and the app running in the background, Findu may use more power than typical apps and affect battery life. Extended GPS use drains the battery faster. Depending on your settings, Findu may continue collecting location when the UI isn’t open (to share with authorized friends), which also increases battery use. Choose a suitable report interval and turn sharing off when you no longer need it. Location may be delayed or inaccurate. Do not rely on Findu as your only safety or emergency tool. —————— Privacy Location is sensitive. Findu shows it only within mutual consent and the permissions you configure. You can stop reporting anytime and adjust group or per-friend visibility. We don’t show your live location to unauthorized users, and we don’t sell your personal information. Please read and agree to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy before use.

Seven questions a day. Everybody gets the same seven. You answer first. Then you do the harder part: guess what percentage of everyone else answered the way you did. At 21:00 the curtain lifts and you find out how well you actually know people. Most of the time you are wrong. That is the whole point. HOW A DAY WORKS 1. Seven questions land at midnight. Ordinary things — how you hang the toilet roll, whether you rinse pasta, what you would do with a wallet you found. 2. You answer, then predict the split. 3. Answers lock. No take-backs, no editing, no seeing anyone else's first. 4. At 21:00 the real numbers arrive, for your region and for the world. WEDNESDAY IS CIVIL WAR DAY One question a week is chosen because it splits people close to fifty-fifty and neither side can believe the other exists. The screen divides down the middle and choosing an option means joining a side. You get a team name. If you end up on the smaller side you get called a Resistor, which is the better badge. WHAT YOU FIND OUT ABOUT YOURSELF Two numbers follow you. How well you read a room — the gap between your guesses and the real splits. And how unusual you are — how often you land where almost nobody else did. They build into a picture of you over time that is uncomfortably accurate. DUO Pair with one person. Instead of guessing the world, you guess each other. It turns out to be a very fast way to find out whether someone has been paying attention. ROOMS Bring a group into the same question and watch the room split in front of you. THE QUIETER QUESTIONS Some days go deeper — what you would forgive, what you have never admitted, what you would do differently. Those answers are never shown next to your name, on any card, to anyone. The question is hidden on shares too. The rule is in the security rules, not in a promise. WHY IT IS THE SAME SEVEN FOR EVERYONE Because a number only means something if everyone answered the same thing on the same day. There is no feed, no infinite scroll, nothing to catch up on. Seven questions, one reveal, done. Available in 24 languages. SUBSCRIPTION SYNC Premium is an auto-renewing subscription, monthly or yearly. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. It renews automatically unless turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends, and you can manage or cancel it in your account settings at any time.
