Your phone Cerulean
Their phone Amber Orange

You're Cerulean. They get Amber Orange: the opposite brightness, the farthest hue.

The pulse preview stays off while Reduce Motion is on. In the app, both phones pulse in time.

How it works

  1. Share a link

    Tap Share and send it to the person you're meeting.

  2. They open it

    Their phone lights up one color; yours has the other. No app on their side? The link lights up their phone in the browser.

  3. Hold it high, tap Found them

    Look for their color. When you spot each other, tap Found them and the pairing ends.

In the app

What makes it different

No account, no sign-up, nothing to leave behind.
A pairing lives for at most six hours and is then deleted.
Works with anyone.
If the other person doesn't have the app, the link lights up their phone in the browser.
Bright where it counts.
The screen runs at full brightness, with the flashlight as a steady second light.
Nudges.
Tap Pulse or I see you and the other phone glows at its edges, with a buzz.
Hands full?
Put Crowd Beam on the Action Button and say I'm here without unlocking.
Stays honest.
The other side sees when you step away and when you're back.
Accessible.
Reduce Motion and Dim Flashing Lights are honored, the lock keeps stray touches out, and VoiceOver works throughout.

Made for concerts, festivals, arrivals halls, stadium exits, and every "I'm by the thing… no, the other thing."
