Treetop at App Store analyse

The missing app for groups and contacts in different places. Your view from afar.

Treetop is a super-lightweight communication tool and your birds-eye view of where people (generally) are… to help you stay in touch and rendezvous with others during your travel and theirs, without oversharing or compromising privacy.

■ SAY WHERE YOULL BE
Quickly and privately tell others what city, country, state/province, or local district you are in, without sharing your precise nor automatic real-time location. Instead, on Treetop, you control who receives each update and when, and the level of detail included. For maximum privacy, location data is communicated using text (only) that you can preview and adjust, instead of with coordinates that can otherwise reveal more.

■ SEE WHO IS WHERE
Treetop clusters the shared locations of your groups and contacts on a browsable list and map, and lets them update their location for you from their phone with ease. When the app is not open, you can receive notifications of who has arrived in a new place or returned home, and more.

■ TRAVEL DETECTION WITHOUT GPS
Using built-in sensors on your device to recognize movement, Treetop notifies you (and others) to share updates after traveling significantly. On the ground (such as by car/bicycle), and even by airplane. For maximum privacy and to save battery power, Treetop does not monitor GPS or Location Services. All travel detection is done privately and locally on your device using motion only, and does not require internet or satellite connectivity.

■ COMMUNICATE PRIVATELY + OWN YOUR DATA
Communications between users are end-to-end encrypted. Only you and the people you share with (and nobody in between, not even Treetop) can view location updates shared through the app. And, Treetop is designed to protect your data from being collected and sold by keeping it locally in the app, so that it is backed up by your device and you are in control of it. (Treetops network keeps you connected with others securely, and gives you a username. Thats it.)

■ REDUCES STRESS
Treetop helps even your most distant connections stay a part of your life by surfacing moments to see others again, instead of missing them. Everyone is in motion, and travel creates new opportunities to share updates, react with emoji, and spend time with them. Without technology, it can otherwise be difficult to stay in touch and coordinate based who is where, and when.

■ SUPPORTS ADVENTURE
Welcome contacts visiting from everywhere, and know who you can see wherever you go. Discover new communities around the world by connecting (and in the future: reconnecting) with others on Treetop. See what adventure awaits.

To support your wellness through movement and connection with others at ever-changing distances and proximities, with your permission, Treetop integrates with your Health data (specifically only walking steps and footing-related metrics, which are collected by your phone automatically and viewable in the Health app on iOS) 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, and is securely processed on-device locally (only) without being shared or transmitted. (It is not sent to the internet by the app, ever. Not even to Treetop.)
