NEW CITY. FAMILIAR FACES.

Not dates.

Meet locals and fellow travellers through the things you love. Small plans, public places, good company.

Find your people

New in town, passing through, or right at home.

Someone to do
your thing with.

A record-shop wander. A beginner climb. Dinner with people who share your interests. It starts with an invitation, not a swipe.

Fictional examples, not available meetups. Real invitations appear on your city’s board.

New word, explained: a beacon is simply a small invitation — someone posts what they’re doing, where and when, and a few people ask to join. That’s the whole idea.

Explore your city

A little plan.
A real connection.

  1. 01

    Find your people

    Choose a city and the interests, languages and boundaries that matter to you.

  2. 02

    Make a small plan

    Meet the host, request to join, or invite a few people to something you already want to do.

  3. 03

    Meet out in the city

    Once the host accepts, chat with your group and meet in a public place. Always platonic.

Come as you are.
Respect who’s there.

Share only what you’re comfortable sharing. Respect each host’s boundaries. No dating pressure, no assumptions about anyone’s identity.

YOUR CITY IS BETTER WITH COMPANY.

Find your people.
