Just a short session that ends when you link up. Perfect for meetups, festivals, or finding your squad. Premium: send custom sound recordings 🔊 Free on iOS & Android.

Tired of waiting for the bro who

Όλοι έχουμε έναν φίλο που λέει συνέχεια «έρχομαι σε 5 λεπτά», ενώ είναι ακόμα σπίτι με τις πιτζάμες. Στείλε του έναν 4-ψήφιο κωδικό και δες live στον χάρτη πού ακριβώς βρίσκεται. Τέλος στα ψέματα. We all have that one friend who says "be there in 5 min" while they're still at home in their pajamas. Send them a 4-digit code and watch on the map exactly where they are. No more lying. Ένας κωδικός, ένας ζωντανός χάρτης, ήχοι. Τίποτα περιττό. A code, a live map, sounds. Nothing extra. Πόσες φορές περίμενες έξω, σου είπε «κατέβα, έφτασα», και ήρθε μία ώρα μετά; Αυτό ακριβώς λύνει το 5 Min Bro. How many times did you wait outside, got a "coming, I'm here," and they showed up an hour later? That's…from fiveminbro.com

  Red Grid Link – peer-to-peer team tracking over Bluetooth, no serversMar 2026 · github.com · ▲54

  I go on a lot of backcountry trips where I barely get cell service. If my group splits, nobody knows knows where anyone is until you regroup at camp or at your destination. You can buy Garmin radios or try to set up an ATAK, but ATAK is Android-only and assumes you have a TAK Server running somewhere to make use of all of the functionality. Cool tools themselves, but expensive to set up correctly. I just wanted two iPhones to share their location directly over Bluetooth when cell coverage was lacking. Red Grid Link does that. Start a session, and anyone nearby running the app shows up on…

  Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
