LodeStone is a private radar for finding your people fast.
Create a temporary channel, invite your group with a code, QR scan, or link, and see distance and direction without exposing everyone on a full public map. It is built for festivals, campuses, parks, trips, nights out, hikes, events, and anywhere groups split up but still need to reconnect quickly.
LodeStone is free to start, has no ads, and does not require sign-up or accounts. Just open the app, create or join a channel, and get moving.
