GateF8 vs Beacon

Gate F8 helps you connect with people around you while you travel. Discover fellow passengers at your gate, chat in real time, and turn delays into meaningful moments.

Wanting to do something was never the hard part. Finding someone to do it with — someone who's into the same thing, actually free, and close enough — that's a part-time job. Beacon takes that job off your hands. Open the map and see what's actually happening around you right now — quiet coffee hangs, pickup soccer, rooftop nights that won't stay secret. HOW IT WORKS • Look around — the map shows what's happening near you, live. • Drop or join a beacon — find something that hits and tap in, or drop your own: what, where, when, and who can see it. • Show up — no endless planning. Meet people and see where the moment takes you. WHY IT WORKS • Right now, near you — no scheduling acrobatics, no hunting for the one slot that works across six calendars. • People on your wavelength — beacons reach people who are into the same things, so you show up as yourself. • Plans that fit your vibe — filter by interest, time, and group size. Group chat included for the "we're in the back corner" logistics. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT • No one sees your name or location until you decide they should. • Your quiet beacons — home, routines, travel — light up the map's activity glow, never your identity. • Share your exact spot only with a meetup you've joined, when it's time to find each other. • Report and block anyone, anywhere in the app. Beacon is for adults 18+.
