Follow Buddy app icon
Coming soon · iPhone & iPad

Never lose
your group again.

Share a code. See everyone on one map. Arrive together.

Follow Buddy makes it effortless to stay together on any trip — road trips, hikes, festivals, theme parks, or a night out with friends. Start a trip, share a short code or QR, and everyone's live location appears together on one map with breadcrumb trails showing where each person has been.

No accounts. No sign-ups. Location sharing starts only when you join a session and stops the moment you leave or the trip ends — and only people holding your code can join at all.

How it works

Three taps from "where is everybody?" to "there they are."

Built for the moment the caravan splits at an exit, or half the group wanders off at a festival.

Instant trips

Start a trip and get a shareable code in seconds. No account required, ever.

Join by code or QR

Friends type a 6-character code or scan a QR and they're in the session immediately.

Live group map

Real-time locations for everyone joined, plus breadcrumb trails of where each person has been.

Route planning

Search addresses and preview the whole route on the map before you pull out of the driveway.

Personalize your pin

Pick an emoji and a colour so your friends can spot you at a glance. Miles or kilometres, light or dark.

Privacy by design

Sharing runs only during an active session. Secure Mode adds cryptographic invites, owner approval and proximity gating.

Screenshots

From "start a trip" to "we all made it."
