Ignite. Unite.
The night awaits.
Light up when you're down. See who else is. No feeds. No posts. No asking "what are you up to?" Just a flame on a map that says you're in.
01 / The Problem
Stop asking. Start knowing.
There's a specific kind of restlessness that hits on a Friday night. You have energy. You want to be somewhere. But you start texting—"what are you up to?"—and wait. And text again. And wait again.
You're polling for information that already exists. Your friends know if they're down. They just haven't told you. Traditional coordination is push-based: you broadcast requests hoping for compatible responses.
Beacon inverts this. Instead of pushing, you pull. Instead of asking, you declare. You light a beacon, and anyone who's also down can see it. The information was always there. We just made it visible.
02 / How It Works
Four steps to the night you wanted.
Ignite
One tap. You're in. Light your beacon and enter the night. This isn't a toggle—it's a ritual. A declaration: I'm down.
Discover
See who else has lit up. A map of flames reveals who's down, where they are, whether they're alone or part of something forming.
Converge
Move toward each other. Watch flames drift closer. Plans crystallize without endless "where are you?" texts.
Unite
Flames merge into bonfires. Individual beacons become collective heat. The app's job is done—you're together.
03 / Product Identity
Fire on high ground for the modern city.
What Beacon Is
- A coordination primitive
- A single action that declares intent
- A map of who's down tonight
- A way to find your people without asking
- Designed to get you off your phone faster
- Built for spontaneity, not planning
What Beacon Is Not
- A social network with feeds and content
- A messaging app
- A calendar or planning tool
- A way to meet strangers
- An always-on location tracker
- Optimized for time-in-app
04 / Privacy
You control when you're visible. Period.
Privacy by design, not promise.
Your location is only shared when you light your beacon. Turn it off, you disappear. No history. No tracking. No selling. When we've done our job, you forget the app exists.
