Spotlight drops you into the spots your feed keeps hinting at. Nearby, on-vibe, and ready right now — so you can stop scrolling and start showing up.
Free in your browser. No login gymnastics. Parents somehow approve.
We use your location once to find spots nearby — never saved, never sold, no account needed. How that works
Tonight, near you
Here's a taste — yours will be different

Straight talk
We never share your location with other users. There are no other users to share it with.
Your location finds nearby spots in that moment. We don't store it or build a history of you.
Saved spots live on your own phone. Clear them in one tap and nothing's left.
No ad trackers, no data brokers, no "partners". If that ever changes, we'd tell you first.
Want the longer version? Read the safety & privacy page — it's short, we promise.

Fastest. Used once, never saved.
Type it in instead
Address, neighbourhood, city, postcode or landmark.
The playbook
We use where you are, not where you say you are. Real places, real close.
Chill, chaotic, sugar-crash, main-character energy — we speak all of them.
One tap for directions. Screenshots the group chat for you. You're welcome.
Pick your flavor
Tell Spotlight what today feels like. It matches you to spots the algorithm can't guess but your best friend would.

Built for
You already know the vibe. You just don't have a map of every cool corner in a 10-minute radius memorized. That's our job. You do the "everyone in twenty" text.

"My friends think I know every good place in the city. I have never told them about Spotlight. I never will."

Spotlight is free and it already works right here in your browser — no download, no account. The phone app is next.
iOS and Android are in the works. Leave your email and you'll be first through the door.
Questions, answered
Yep. Free to use in your browser, no card, no trial countdown, no "premium vibes" paywall. If we ever add paid extras, the core finder stays free.
Either your device's rough coordinates (only if you tap allow) or whatever you type in the box. We use it once, in that moment, to look up places near you. We don't save it, log it, or link it to you — and you can skip the pop-up entirely and just type your neighbourhood.
Places only. Always. There are no profiles, no DMs, no strangers, no friend requests. Nobody can find you, message you, or see that you're using Spotlight.
13+. Under 13, you'll need a parent or guardian using it with you. We don't ask for an account, so please be honest with yourself here.
Two easy moves: share the safety page with them, and use the share-your-picks link to send exactly where you're heading before you leave. Everything Spotlight suggests is a public place — no private addresses, ever.
There's barely any to delete, which is the point. Saved spots live in your own browser — hit "Clear all" on the saved tab and they're gone. On the waitlist? Email us and we'll remove you, no follow-up questions.
