wherio points a live compass straight at your friends — in a festival crowd, a foreign city, or a packed car park. Share a six-character code, follow the arrow, and watch the distance count down. Temporary location sharing, with no account to create.
Coming soon for
iOS
From tapping a link to walking toward each other in under a minute.
One tap creates a private session with a short join code. No sign-up, no phone numbers.
Send the code over any chat app. Your friend taps it and wherio opens straight into your session.
A live compass and map guide you toward each other, updating every few seconds until you meet.
wherio is not a tracker. It's a handshake: short-lived, consented, and encrypted between your phones.
Locations are encrypted on your phone and only your friends can decrypt them. The server relays blobs it cannot read.
No sign-up, no phone number, no contact list access. A session is just a code you share out loud or over chat.
With wherio Plus, up to four friends converge on one another — everyone sees everyone, all pairwise encrypted.
Long-press the map to agree on a spot, or let wherio pick a walkable midpoint between all of you.
Message everyone in the session without leaving the map — encrypted like the locations, and gone when the session ends.
wherio never records your movements. When you meet — or stop — keys, names, and locations are wiped from the server and both phones immediately.
One code, a live compass, a group map, and encrypted session chat.
