Friends · Mood · Map

Your people,
on one map.

Badger shows how your friends are feeling and where they are — mood by mood, in real time. Private by default, end-to-end encrypted, and entirely yours.

What Badger does

Everything your circle needs — nothing it doesn’t.

🗺️
The mood map

See how everyone’s doing, instantly.

Each friend is a living marker — their avatar, their mood, their status, even whether they’re on the move. One look tells you who’s up for something and who needs space.

  • Dual moods and a status emoji per person
  • Live activity — still, walking, running, cycling or driving
  • Nearby friends cluster into a neat, tappable fan
  • Tap a marker to start a chat or see what they’re up to
💬
Private chat

Messages only you and your friends can read.

Direct messages and group chats are end-to-end encrypted with a key only your devices hold — so not even we can read them. Share photos, videos, voice notes, files, GIFs and polls with total peace of mind.

  • 1:1 DMs and named groups
  • Photos, video, voice notes, files, GIFs & polls
  • Threaded replies, link previews & read receipts
📍
Location, on your terms

Share where you are — only when you want.

Live location is opt-in and per-conversation. Flip to Hidden and you vanish from the map entirely — parked safely out of sight until you choose to reappear.

  • Per-DM and per-group sharing controls
  • One tap to go fully hidden
  • Battery-friendly, throttled updates
Everything in one place

Built for the people who matter.

Not a feed full of strangers — a private space for your actual friends.

🎭

Express a mood

Pick how you feel from a rich palette and add a status emoji. Your marker updates everywhere, live.

👥

Groups & DMs

Spin up a group for the weekend or message one person. Everything stays encrypted end-to-end.

📝

Posts

Share a moment with a group and let the replies thread underneath. Like a campfire, not a megaphone.

🎬

Rich media

Photos, videos, voice notes, files, GIFs and stickers — all encrypted, all inside the chat.

📊

Quick polls

Ask the group a question, tap to vote, and see exactly who chose what — decisions without the back-and-forth.

🔔

Smart notifications

Push that respects your attention — and an app-icon badge that always tells the truth.

How it works

Up and running in three taps.

1

Sign in

Use Google or a magic email link. No passwords to remember, no spam.

2

Add your people

Invite friends to a group or start a direct message. Your first group is made for you automatically.

3

Set your mood

Tell the map how you’re feeling and where you stand. That’s it — you’re on the map.

Privacy, not an afterthought

Yours to share. Yours to hide.

Badger is built privacy-first. Conversations are end-to-end encrypted, location sharing is always opt-in, and Hidden mode means exactly that.

  • End-to-end encryption we can’t read past
  • Opt-in location, per conversation
  • Hidden mode parks you off the map completely
  • We never sell your friends to advertisers
