Leave your messages or photos where they were created, for others to find. Look around before you sign up; browse what's nearby the moment you open the app, no account required. Create one only when you're ready to leave your own mark. Posts are only visible within 25 meters, so what you find is always tied to exactly where you're standing, proof that someone stood right where you are. Don't see anything yet? No one's left a post at your spot; be the first. You can even post old photos; Stumbletown shows when they were originally taken, so people can see what the same spot looked like years ago, right where they're standing now. Follow people you know, or find friends already on Stumbletown by matching your contacts, entirely opt-in, and your contacts never leave your device in readable form. Get notified the moment you walk within range of something a friend left behind. Add context to what you share in the moment, tag a post with the venue you're at, current weather, air quality, golden hour, or moon phase, all optional, all off by default. Block and report are built in, so you're always in control of who and what you see nearby. Stumbletown isn't about who has the most followers; it's about what's actually here, right now, where you are.
