Make a private location circle in the moment—at a bar, on a walk home, during a family trip. Every person carries one encrypted DaemonSigil. A live threshold must be present, and you choose exactly who receives precise, approximate, or no location.

One QR. Six words. Done.
Names are encrypted and local to the participants. The invite secret stays in the URL fragment, which browsers do not send in an HTTP request.
ASSEMBLY
Let trusted people scan
The invite closes after two minutes. Approve only after both screens show the same six words.

The basemap is bundled Natural Earth land geometry. No map tiles, fonts, geocoder, analytics, or third-party requests are loaded.
Honest security boundary
Private from the service, not magic.
DaemonChannel minimizes what exists. It does not promise that networks, operating systems, browsers, recipients, or compromised devices reveal nothing.
The relay can learn
IP addresses, timing, route and slot identifiers, fixed-size traffic volume, active quorum, and connection failures. A network observer can learn similar metadata.
Location fixes live in memory for at most 15 seconds. They are never written to IndexedDB, DaemonSigils, logs, an offline queue, or the custody state.
Recipients remain recipients
Anyone you authorize can screenshot, record, relay, or remember a location. Remove them and stop future sends; past disclosure cannot be revoked.
Children need adult safeguards
A self-custody tool cannot decide who is safe. Guardians remain responsible for consent, coercion risks, device access, local law, and an offline safety plan.
Browser limits are visible
Background execution is not promised. Hiding or closing the page stops sharing. Native Daemon and Daemon Cloud support remain future work.
