No account. A join code and PIN are enough to see people, cars, and the rally point together. When the group ends, location history is deleted.
For groups
Get started
No legal name, phone number, or account. Each group needs a 6-digit join code and a 4-digit PIN.
Set the group name, your display name, the join PIN, and the start and end. The local time zone and the dates are shown together.
If there is a professional guide, you can also mark a guide and a dedicated driver.
Copy the join code, send an invite by messenger or text, or show a QR code on the spot.
Someone without the app can join in a web browser.
Map, Members, and Messages show where people are and what was announced. When the group ends, locations stop updating.
Turn on join approval and only people the leader accepts can enter.
Members and cars in the same group appear on one map. Set a safe radius from 0 to 500 m, and anyone outside it is marked in red.
Pick a member or the rally point and the direction and distance show up large. The top of the screen is where the phone is pointing, so you follow the arrow.
A member card shows the name, distance, when the location was updated, and the battery. Tap the arrow to walk toward that person.
Guides and team leads send announcements. If the leader allows it, every member can write. In an emergency, SOS goes to the group after a confirmation.
More
Built so the person in charge has less to juggle.
Announce a place, a location, and a time. A pin goes on the map, and the time left is shown.
Set a wake-up time and every member is notified then.
Register a car and assign a driver. The car’s location follows that driver.
Turn team mode on and the map, members, messages, and rally point are per team. Drag members between teams. Turning it off returns to the whole group, and the teams stay saved.
With approval on, only people the leader accepts can enter. Closing joins blocks new people. Members already in stay.
Use a QR code in person, or send an invite through a messenger.
A link code lets another phone join as the same member.
When you turn it off for a while, pick how long, and you can schedule when it turns back on.
Screens
These are real screens. Swipe sideways.
Privacy
Gather Round has no accounts. Data it collects is not used for ads or marketing.
We don’t take a legal name, phone number, or email. The name on screen is a display name you choose.
When a group ends, member details, location history, and messages are permanently deleted and cannot be restored.
Sharing while you move needs “Allow all the time,” but you can still open the map if you decline, and change it later.
FAQ
No. You join with the join code and PIN for that group. No name, phone number, or account.
“Allow all the time” is needed if the group should see you while you are moving. You can still open the map if you decline.
You can see other members’ locations only while you share yours. The rally point and messages stay visible even if sharing is off.
The location of the person assigned as the driver.
You can send an SOS from the Messages tab. After one confirmation, the whole group is notified.
Leaving stops location updates for that group. When the group ends, all of its data is permanently deleted. An ended group can only be viewed.
