App Store Description

Share and schedule location updates, privately and securely after travel.

Treetop is your view from afar. Never miss a chance to connect with the people who matter—whether you’re keeping up with friends or staying in touch with groups and contacts in different places, Treetop helps you share timely updates on your whereabouts without compromising your privacy.

The app never monitors GPS and does not track your precise real-time location. Instead, it detects travel (via airplane, car, train, and more) using your phone’s motion-sensing capabilities, without knowing your exact whereabouts. After arriving, the app notifies you to share a more private, city-level location update using customizable text and emoji, but you can also schedule these updates in advance. Communications are protected with end-to-end encryption, ensuring that no one else (not even Treetop) can see what you share with others or schedule in the app.

■ SAY WHERE YOU'LL BE
Quickly and privately update your location for all or select groups and contacts, sharing only the city, country, state/province, or local district you’re in. Treetop uses customizable text to share or schedule location updates based on your broader geographical whereabouts, instead of revealing your exact position. You control who receives your updates and exactly what is shared.

■ SEE WHO IS (HEADED) WHERE
Treetop clusters the shared and scheduled departures and arrivals of your groups and contacts into a browsable list and map, automatically organizing those in the same areas alongside who will be there next. You receive notifications about who goes where, returns home, and more—with options to customize whom and what you are notified about.

■ TRAVEL DETECTION WITHOUT GPS
Using built-in sensors in your device to recognize movement, Treetop notifies you to share updates after significant travel—whether by car, train, airplane, or other supported modes of transport. To maximize privacy and save battery life, Treetop does not monitor GPS or Location Services. All travel detection happens privately and locally on your device using motion, and without requiring internet or satellite connectivity.

■ PROTECTS YOUR INFORMATION
Communications between users are end-to-end encrypted, so that only you and the people you share with (and nobody else in between, not even Treetop) can view your location updates. The platform is designed to keep data in your control (and safe from being collected or sold) by storing it locally on your device only, while optionally making encrypted backups to your iCloud account by default. Treetop’s network and platform keep you connected with others securely and give you a username… that’s it.

■ REDUCES STRESS
Motion and travel create new opportunities to see others again, but keeping in touch about who is where (and when) can require a lot of effort without Treetop. The app lightens these interactions through simplified communications—reducing the friction required to surface moments to connect in real-life, and helping ensure that you otherwise do not miss them.

■ SUPPORTS ADVENTURE
Welcome others from near and far. Discover new communities around the world by connecting (and in the future: reconnecting) with others on Treetop. See what adventure awaits, both where you are and wherever you may go.

To support your wellness through movement and connection with others at ever-changing distances, with your permission, the app integrates with your Health data—specifically your walking steps and footing-related metrics, which are collected by your phone automatically and viewable in the Health app on iOS. This enables the app to provide interactions and a deeper view of statistics surrounding how you have transited based on your movement. This data cannot be modified by the app, is encrypted, and is always securely processed locally on-device (only) without being shared or transmitted. (It is not sent to the internet by the app, ever. Not even to Treetop.)
