02Why Beacon?

Less planning. More showing up.

Deciding you want to go out is easy. The hard part is finding someone who’s free, nearby, and up for the same thing.

The right activity

Every beacon is a specific plan. Pick one that fits your mood instead of debating what to do.

The right time

Beacons are happening today, not three weekends from now. No group-chat scheduling required.

All 6 plans, every vibe

The right vibe

Beacon surfaces plans from people who are into the same things you are, so the group already has something in common.

That last one is live — it’s the same vibe the map at the top is on. Try it.

03How it works

From screen to scene in 3 steps.

04See it move

A quick walkthrough, from opening the app to showing up.

05Claim your OG badge

Be first in your city — and have the badge to prove it.

There’s no waitlist — when Beacon launches in your city, everyone gets in. But the first 500 people to sign up get the OG badge on their profile, permanently. It marks you as someone who was here before there was a scene to show up to.

One email when we launch. That’s all.
