Coming soon

Circl is not open to everyone yet.

It is in beta, invite only, and growing slowly on purpose. Leave your email and we will tell you when there is a place for you.

One message when there is news. We will not pass your address to anyone, and you can ask us to delete it at any time.

A short read at the end of the week, then it is gone.

01What it is

A private map, shared with four or five people.

Circl is a location sharing app for the people closest to you. You create a space, invite the people you want in it, and everyone in that space can see where the others are. Nothing is visible outside it.

02What it is not

Not a social network.

There is no feed, no follower count, no public profile and no discovery. You cannot search for somebody, and nobody can request to join your space. Somebody already inside has to give you the code.

03What it does

Answers the question, then goes quiet.

Save the places that matter and the space can be told when somebody arrives or leaves. Pin photographs and notes to those places. Beyond that Circl stays out of the way, with quiet hours each night and nothing to scroll.

04Going quiet

Stopping is always one tap away.

Pause sharing for an hour, for three, or until you turn it back on. Mark a place quiet and it never announces you. Ask for a copy of your data, or delete your account and everything in it. More on privacy.

While you wait

The help centre is already open.

Every feature is documented before launch, so you can read exactly how Circl behaves before you ever install it. Read the help centre.
