Pick a name and a glyph — the short symbol shown next to your messages. A passkey on this device will protect your keys; there's no password to remember or leak.
Unlock with the passkey on this device to see your channels.
Once you're connected to a channel, new notes, flashes, thoughts and alerts will show up in one glanceable list — newest and most urgent first.
If you lose this device, these friends can each contribute their shard of your recovery key. Reaching the threshold below rebuilds it — no company involved.
Split your recovery key across a few friends so losing this device doesn't mean losing your account. Set this up from your identity settings.
Groups that meet somewhere in particular.
Nothing has been set up at this place — or nothing public has.
Members see this name. Nobody else does, unless you make it public.
Only the rounded-off cell for this point is ever sent.
How far around here it counts as “here”.
Public only means people standing here can see it exists. Either way, joining needs a code from a member or a sticker — nobody gets in just by finding it.
A place is identified by a rounded-off square — 1 km at Block, 5 km at District, 39 km at City — and that square is all the hub ever learns. Your exact coordinate stays on this device, and the name you searched for never leaves it at all.
Headcounts are rounded too. In a small town an exact “2 here” would name people by elimination, so what you see is a bucket.
Picked up by the bird. Nothing is added until you say so.
Wake the bird and hold this device near another one that is chirping.
Testing something that needs two people? Open a second tab on a different profile — it gets its own identity, keys and channels, so this one is unaffected.
Put this group on a wall.
This group is not tied to a place, so a sticker needs to be told where it goes.
Only members see this. It is how you tell two stickers apart later.
Someone scanning has to be inside this area to be let in. Block is right for a café or a doorway; City is for something that should work across town.
Your location is read when you print, and only the rounded area is ever sent.
