FERAL MODE LIVEHow Feral Mode Live works
A live cruising map with a vetted core. Open it and see who's around, where the spots are, and who's hosting right now. Everyone inside was vouched for by someone already there and checked by another member.

The map
People show as pins. A green ring is online now, orange is hosting, a dimmer ring was here a while ago. Zoomed out, pins group into circles with a count. Squares are spots: parks, saunas, bars, stores, trails, the places people go. Set a status (looking, hosting, at a spot) and it ends on its own. The Wall is what people near you are saying right now, and it goes when they leave the map.
Three ways to be here
How you get in
- Enter anonymously, or with an invite from someone you know.
- Get vouched for. A member who likes what they see vouches for you from a chat, or sends you an invite. Nobody needs anything from you to vouch for you.
- Get checked. Record three short clips in the app. Another member checks you're real and match your photos. The clips are deleted once they've decided.
What keeps it real
Every Trusted member has someone who vouched for them and someone who checked them, on record. That's the chain. Vouch for someone who gets removed for abuse, and you go too. You know that before you send an invite, so people vouch for people they'd stand behind.
Your location stays yours
Your pin sits in a neighborhood, never on your door, and you pick how big that neighborhood is. Nobody's exact location is kept, unless you send a place in a chat yourself. Go ghost and you're off the map entirely.
Free, or Plus
Using the map, chatting and the Wall are free. Feral Mode Plus adds the full profile page, private albums, every filter and no ads. Vet 5 or bring in 5 a month and Plus is free for you.
