Meet Flash Beacon โ a simple utility for finding someone more easily in crowded places. Flash Beacon helps two users connect with a session code, then use visual signals, camera HUD guidance, and map support to spot each other more easily at festivals, concerts, clubs, outdoor events, and other crowded places. How it works: 1. Choose a color and icon 2. The host creates a session and shares the 6-digit code 3. The guest joins with the code 4. Use HUD Beacon and Map to help find the paired user 5. Use Flash Beacon as a bright visual signal when you are close Key features: Session code pairing: connect two users without an account HUD Beacon: camera HUD guidance for finding your paired user Map support: view paired-user location guidance Flash Beacon: use your screen as a bright visual beacon Color and icon customization: make yourself easier to recognize Simple, fast UI: built for quick use when you are on the move In-app purchases: Flash Beacon includes optional one-time icon pack purchases and an optional Beacon Pro monthly subscription. Beacon Pro lets the host create sessions, use HUD Beacon, use Map support, and access all icon packs while active. Only the host needs Beacon Pro to create a session. The guest can join with the session code. Important: GPS and direction guidance are approximate, especially indoors, in dense crowds, or at very close range.
