Stop texting across 5 different group chats. Send a 1-tap Arrivo link. Your friends tap and instantly appear on a shared real-time arrival map with accurate travel ETAs, quick 1-tap status updates, and zero GPS tracking history.
No waiting for friends to download 150MB apps, create accounts, or remember passwords while trying to meet up.
Pick a restaurant, bar, park, concert gate, or zero-in on your current GPS location. Your private room is created in seconds.
Drop the link into your WhatsApp, iMessage, Instagram, or Discord group. Anyone taps and appears on the shared map immediately.
Watch everyone's true travel ETA live. When you arrive or close the tab, your location history dissolves from memory permanently.
Every feature is designed specifically for friends, families, and groups gathering in real life without texting chaos.
No app store friction. Whether your friend is on iPhone Safari, Android Chrome, or a laptop browser, Arrivo opens instantaneously via open web standards. No accounts, no email verifications, and zero app store installs.
Chat apps only calculate straight-line "bird flight" distance. Arrivo calculates genuine turn-by-turn road and travel geometry so you know when friends actually step through the door.
Never have your phone dim or lock while you're walking, in transit, or navigating. The Screen Wake Lock API keeps your display awake as long as the meetup room is open.
Your GPS coordinates are never stored in a database or saved to disk. They stream strictly in-memory between active attendees. When the meetup ends, all location history dissolves completely.
Don't text while walking or on the move. Broadcast "In an Uber", "Grabbing Coffee", or "Found a Table" with a single quick thumb tap.
