Never lose yourcrew again.
The premium group-finder built for raves, festivals, and sold-out shows. Drop a checkpoint, fire a Spawn alert, rally the crew — even when 60,000 phones are fighting for signal.
Built for the crowd
The Problem
Group chats die the moment the bass drops.
Texts stop sending. Find My freezes on a building from 90 minutes ago. Your friend went to grab water — that was an hour ago. Sound familiar?
“Where r u??? I can't hear my phone.”
11:47 PM · Stage 4
“Group chat is dead. No service.”
12:14 AM · Wristband zone
“Drop a pin. PLEASE drop a pin.”
01:02 AM · Main arena
On your wrist, mid-set
Designed for one-glance reads.
Big arrows. Big numbers. High contrast for sweat-streaked screens. Spawn isn't built for couches — it's built for mosh pits, shoulder rides, and that exact moment when your friend disappears into a strobe.

- Battery rings on every crew face

Features
Six tools. One job done right.
We didn't build another social app. We built the one utility you reach for the second your friend disappears into the crowd.
One tap. Everyone knows.
Tap the Spawn button and every phone in your crew gets a push, a haptic, and the exact pin. They respond on the way, arrived, or can’t — you see who’s incoming in real time, no group-chat scrolling.
Tap to Spawn
A meeting spot they can't miss.
Drop a checkpoint with a photo, a meet-time, and a note. “Big tree by Stage 3, midnight.” Everyone gets the same compass arrow pointing exactly there, with a chime when they’re in range.

Big tree, Stage 3
When seconds matter.
Pro flips Lost Mode to a 20-second refresh — versus 15 minutes on free. The dense-crowd compass replaces the map, your friend’s name pulses at the top, and the arrow snaps to them in real time.

When a checkpoint is live, Spawn pins a Live Activity to your Lock Screen. Distance, bearing, and crew responses update as you move — even when your phone is asleep in your pocket. iOS 16.2+.

Built for the chaos.
Maps don’t work in a sea of 60,000 people. Spawn’s compass is a giant arrow, distance, and direction — readable in one glance, on a sweaty wrist, mid-set, with one eye open.

How it works
Set it up in 90 seconds.
From download to first checkpoint — faster than your friend can finish saying "wait, I'm at the bar."
01
Form your crew
Sign in with Apple or a magic link, create a group, share a 6-character code. Friends are in the crew in seconds — no friend requests, no group-chat noise.
02
Drop a checkpoint
Take a photo of the meeting spot, set a meet-time, add a note. Everyone in the crew sees it instantly.
03
Use the compass
A giant arrow points exactly where to go. Distance, direction, no map juggling. Built for crowd-blindness.
04
Spawn when separated
Lost someone? One tap fires a Spawn alert. They tap on the way / arrived / can’t — you see exactly who’s incoming, in real time.
From the crowd
People who've been lost.
“I lost my crew at EDC in 2024. Spent two hours wandering. Spawn would've saved my whole night.”

“The compass is genius. Maps don't make sense in a 60k-person crowd. An arrow does.”

“Lost Mode is the only feature my anxious group-chat self has ever wanted. Worth $0.99 a month forever.”

Real questions
The stuff people ask.
Mostly, yes. Location updates queue locally and sync the moment you get a sliver of signal back. For dense crowds where networks fail, Spawn uses tiny location payloads and aggressive offline buffering — so when bars finally appear, your crew snaps back into sync in under a second.
The next show is already coming.
Stop spending the encore looking for your friend. Download Spawn, form your crew, and walk into your next event like the night can't go wrong.
