Keep the context in one place

Mafrend connects direct messages, private groups, shared places, and time-bound User Location Messages on one map.

Current alpha capabilities

Marmot Private Groups

Create an encrypted group for a trip, community, or close circle. The creator is the initial admin.

Group Places

Keep a headquarters, meeting point, or useful POI available to the group long after the chat moves on.

Time-Bound Location Messages

Send an intentional “I’m here” update that appears in group chat and on the map for the duration you choose.

Privacy by Choice

Location sharing is explicit and time-bound. Mafrend does not continuously track movement in the background.

Rich POI Links

Share a place as a recognizable card in chat, then open it directly on the map when the group needs it.

Portable Nostr Identity

Keep your Nostr identity with you instead of being locked into a closed social graph.

Work in Progress

The app is still in development — step by step, feature by feature. Your feedback and ideas help shape the direction.
