LOWN
Texts are flat. Drop a neon at the bar you love, beam your friend a full-screen moment, discover what's around — in real space, on a global map.
AR messaging for iOS. Friends-only by design. No feeds, no followers, no anonymous drops. Built in Sydney.
Pin a message at a bar, a corner, a rooftop — on the map, or precisely on a real surface in AR. Tag the friends who get to find it. They walk past — it lights up.
Send a friend a full-screen takeover. They see it the second they open the app. Reply opens a fresh beam — no inbox, no clutter.
Group your friends into a circuit and drop to all of them at once. Lock it so only you post, and let others join by QR code — for a crew, an event, a night out.
Add friends
Trade an 8-character share code, or tap an invite link. No phone numbers, no contact scraping.
Drop or beam
Tap the dock. Pick a place, pick the friends or a circuit. Send a message that lives in space, not in a chat.
Find it in AR
Walk past the spot. Pull up your phone. The neon is there, waiting, exactly where it was left.
Burn or keep
Hide what you don't want to see. Burn what you sent. Drops expire on their own after 24 hours.
