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.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Whencee at none against Peek's 11. Whencee also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Peek's advantage is ratings volume (9.5K vs 1) and chart position (#158 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings
