Private, temporary groups
Share only with the people you invite, for only as long as the moment requires.
Live group radar
Find your people.
Wherever the day takes you.
Share your live location temporarily with a private group, then find each other at a glance—without the endless “where are you?” texts.

Built for the moment
Less coordinating.
More being there.
LodeStone keeps the group connected without turning the day into a stream of check-in texts and dropped map pins.
A radar made for regrouping
See direction and distance at a glance instead of decoding pins on a crowded map.
Join in seconds
Invite your group with a simple code or link. No complicated setup before you head out.
Quick status updates
Let everyone know you are okay, heading back, waiting, or need help without stopping to type.
Rally points
Drop a shared destination so the whole group knows exactly where to meet next.
Games built for real places
Turn a day out into hide-and-seek, a race, treasure hunt, manhunt, or infection game.
How it works
From scattered to together
in three simple steps.
- 1
Create a group
Choose how long you want location sharing to stay active.
- 2
Invite your people
Send a private group code or link through any messaging app.
- 3
Follow the signal
Open the radar to see where everyone is and regroup naturally.
One signal. A hundred plans.
Made for wherever
you go together.
Festivals & events
Regroup after the crowd pulls everyone in different directions.
Trips & travel
Explore independently without losing the way back to your group.
Outdoor days
Keep a signal on friends across trails, parks, campsites, and beaches.
Family outings
Make busy attractions and shared days out feel easier to navigate.
Privacy that makes sense
Location sharing should have an off switch.
LodeStone is designed around temporary moments—not permanent tracking. You decide when to join, who can see you, and when you are finished.
- Visibility stays inside your invited group
- Sessions expire instead of following you forever
- You can leave a group or stop sharing at any time
- Clear status shows when sharing is active
Questions, answered
Before you head out.
Who can see my location?
Only people in the private group you joined can see you while that session is active. Leave or end the session when you are done sharing.
Does everyone in the group need LodeStone?
Yes. Each participant installs the app and joins the same group using its invite link or code.
How long does a group session last?
Sessions are designed to be temporary. You can end one whenever you are finished or extend it when the group needs more time.
Will it keep working when my phone is locked?
LodeStone can continue updating during an active session when background location permission is enabled. Your device settings may affect update frequency.
Do I need to create an account?
You can get started with a display name and a group code. LodeStone is designed around the moment, not building another social profile.
Is LodeStone available on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Friends can join the same group across iPhone and Android, so nobody has to be on the same kind of phone.
