Better with your people

Three friends are enough to make it fun.

Hoolo opens on a living map of the people you care about. Add friends with a private invite link. Pick per friend how close they can see you, from your city to the exact spot, or nothing at all.

Both of you choose. If only one says yes, nobody sees anything.

Invisible until you choose

Your location is yours. Full stop.

Hoolo never asks for your location when you open the app. Sharing and exploring are two separate switches, and both start off.

Ghost mode
On from the start and always free. One tap hides you from everyone.
Per-friend precision
Choose for each friend what they see. offcityneighborhoodprecise
Live means live
Only your latest position is kept, for 2 minutes. No location history on our servers.
Your map stays with you
The areas you uncover are stored on your iPhone. The server only keeps secret, unreadable digests to count your XP.
Protected place
Mark an area like home. Inside it, sharing and exploring pause.
No ads, no data sales
We will never sell location data, and privacy will never be a paid feature.
Quests & crews

Play it solo. Win it together.

Start with three explorer quests, then team up in a crew of up to ten. Crews share scores and goals. They never share locations unless each friend chooses to.

Hoolo is in private beta.

We're starting small: adults (18+), iPhone, and close groups of friends. The fastest way in is an invite link from someone who's already playing.
