Fathom vs FindCircle

The world isn't built for blind people. Fathom is. It gives you a feel for the space around you indoors, where GPS quits. Nothing to download, nothing installed in the building. You point your iPhone, walk in, and it works the first time, anywhere. I'm a legally blind product designer. I built the tool I kept wishing I had, instead of waiting for a sighted team to guess what I needed. Most of the time, Fathom says nothing. It speaks only when something needs you, so silence means the way ahead is clear. That's the part I care about most. A few ways to use it. Lookout talks you through the room as you move, calling doors, people, signs, and hazards by the clock, like "door at 2 o'clock, ten steps ahead." Snapshot tells you what's in front of you the second you ask. Both are free. The rest come with Fathom Plus. Go walks you turn by turn to a spot inside a building. Task helps you through one job at a time, step by step, like working a checkout kiosk. Live Task is a real conversation for the moment you're stuck, like finding your keys. And the Assistant ties them together. Tell it the whole goal, like getting checked in and finding your gate, and it builds the plan and walks you through it. Point at anything and Fathom tells you what it is, then reads what's written on it. Hold your arm out and point during Lookout or Go, no button, and it just answers, leading with the thing itself before any detail so you can move on as soon as you have what you needed. It's free, the same as Lookout and Snapshot. The part that keeps you safe is free, and it stays that way. It runs on your phone, with no signal and no account, using object detection, LiDAR depth on Pro models, and a buzz in your hand the moment something's close. The room takes on a shape you can hold. Safety shouldn't sit behind a paywall, so it doesn't. Fathom Plus is seven days free, then $12.99 a month. It renews monthly until you cancel in Settings. Live Task is the heavy one, so a busy month can reach its limit, and Fathom keeps working on your phone instead of going quiet. I'd rather tell you that than pretend it's endless. Fathom rides alongside your cane or your guide dog. It doesn't replace them. It tells you what it sees and stays honest about what it can't, so you're never working off false confidence. Your privacy comes first, and you're safe without ever signing up. Made by Unruly Vision, LLC.

FindCircle puts your whole group on a live radar so you always know where everyone is — no more "where are you?" texts. Whether you're navigating a festival crowd, splitting up at a theme park, hiking with friends, or meeting family at the airport, FindCircle keeps everyone visible on a shared radar that updates in real time. ◆ HOW IT WORKS ◆ Create or join a group in seconds using a 6-character invite code. Once everyone is in, open the radar and see your friends' positions instantly updating around you — no map needed, no manual refreshing. ◆ KEY FEATURES ◆ ● Live Radar View See all group members plotted around you in real time, with a sweeping radar aesthetic that makes distance and direction immediately clear. ● Easy Group Setup Create a named group, share the invite code, and you're tracking. Join in seconds by entering the code your friend sends — or scan their QR code directly from the group screen for a completely code-free join. ● Meeting Points Drop a shared rally pin everyone can see, set at your location or by long-pressing any spot on the radar. Save your favourite spots as permanent named points ("The Pub", "Car Park", "Main Gate") so the whole group always knows where to regroup. ● Quick Pings Send one-tap message alerts to your whole group — "On my way!", "I'm here!", "Wait for me!" and more. Pings appear as a notification on everyone's radar instantly. ● SOS Alert In a genuine emergency, one tap sends your exact location to every member of your group with a bright SOS banner on their screen. ● Proximity Alerts Set a distance threshold (5–100 m) and your phone vibrates when a group member enters that range — great for crowded venues where you can't stare at your screen. ● Background Tracking Keep sharing your location even when the app is minimised, so your friends can always find you. ● Battery Awareness Each person's battery level is visible on the radar so you know who might drop off soon. ● Fast Updates The radar refreshes every 2 seconds so your group always has a current picture. ◆ FINDCIRCLE PREMIUM ◆ FindCircle is free for small groups. Upgrade to Premium when you need more: ● Bigger circles — grow your group from 3 people up to 50, so the whole crew stays on one radar. ● Unlimited saved spots — save as many permanent named meeting points as you like, not just one. Premium is a monthly or yearly subscription. Heading out for a single event? Grab a one-time Event Pass instead — a Day, Weekend, or Trip pass unlocks everything Premium for 24 hours, 72 hours, or 7 days, with no subscription and nothing to cancel. ◆ BUILT FOR ◆ ‣ Festivals & concerts ‣ Theme parks & zoos ‣ Hiking & trail runs ‣ Airport meet-ups ‣ City trips & school trips ‣ Team sports events ‣ Any situation where a group needs to stay connected ◆ PRIVACY ◆ Your location is shared only with members of your group and is stored as your last known position within that group — it is overwritten on every update, not accumulated as a history. No ads. No selling of data. ◆ GET STARTED ◆ Download free. Create a group. Share the code. Open radar. Find your people. ◆ SUBSCRIPTION TERMS ◆ FindCircle Premium is an auto-renewable subscription, available monthly or yearly. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase.
