Start a tripSee how it works
Keeping people informed shouldn't be this hard.
You're texting updates to different people. Someone's waiting for a message. A group chat gets buried.
There has to be a simpler way.
MEET LANTERN
One app for the whole trip.
Plan it. Check in along the way. Look back when you're home.
HOW LANTERN HELPS
Create a trip
Where you're going. When you'll be back. That's it.
Choose who's updated
Share your trip with family, friends, whoever needs to know.
Check in as you go
One tap. One message. Everyone knows you're safe.
Trip timeline
All your updates in one place. No scattered messages.
Optional alerts
Share your location. Get weather updates. Only if you want.
Your control
You decide who sees what. You end the trip when you're back.
Instead of managing who needs what message.
You have one trip. Everyone connected to it stays informed.
You check in when it matters. They see that you're okay.
Who uses Lantern.
Solo travelers
Give people peace of mind. Travel without the guilt of silence.
Families
Parents traveling. Kids traveling. Easy reassurance for everyone.
Road trips
Long drives, multiple stops. Keep the group updated simply.
International travel
Time zones, unfamiliar places. One clear line of contact.
Why not just text?
Texting
You have to think about who to tell. Messages get lost. People worry if they don't hear from you.
Group chats
Noisy. Easy to miss updates. Not built for check-ins.
Sharing your location
Constant tracking isn't reassurance. It's surveillance.
Lantern
Built for this one job. Clear updates. Chosen people. Less friction.
Early access.
Lantern launches soon. Get in early.
Thank you. Your message was sent.
Still have questions?
"Isn't this just a group chat?"
No. Group chats are noisy. Lantern is built specifically for trip check-ins — simple, clear, focused on reassurance.
"Do I have to check in constantly?"
No. Check in when you want. Once a day. Once a week. You decide. There's no pressure.
"What if I'm not traveling anywhere dangerous?"
Lantern isn't about danger. It's about keeping people you care about from worrying. That matters on any trip.
"Will people actually use it?"
Yes — because they don't have to install anything. One link, one trip, notifications when you check in.
Travel with people who care, not alone.
One trip. Simple updates. Everyone's reassured.
