Let your AI agent ask your phone where you are, on demand. You host the relay. Sign-in and user data live in Supabase.

The relay keeps no location history. It sends a ping, the phone reads its GPS now, and the answer goes back to the agent. What is stored, for how long, and who sees your location: privacy.
Status
Early MVP, in beta. iOS answers in the background through push. Android answers only while the app is open. See the roadmap.
Repo layout
| Path | What |
|---|---|
server/ | Rust relay (axum). Agents call it over HTTP or MCP; the phone holds a WebSocket to it. |
app/ | Tauri v2 phone app (Android / iOS). Signs in, then answers pings with a GPS fix. |
supabase/ | Database migrations and tests. |
infra/ | OpenTofu for the dev and prod environments. |
scripts/ | Local dev, end-to-end check, deploy, hook install. |
docs/ | Source of the docs site. |
site/ | Landing page and OAuth consent page. |
docs-site/ | VitePress build of the docs site. |
design-system/, brand/ | Shared CSS tokens and components; logo files and usage rules. |
Connect your agent
-
Install the app: see Get started on whereabot.io, or install from the browser.
-
Sign in with Apple or Google on the phone.
-
Add the relay to your agent:
claude mcp add --transport http whereabot https://relay.whereabot.io/mcp -
In Claude Code run
/mcpand sign in with the same Apple or Google account as on the phone. You never paste a token. -
On Android, keep the app open while the agent asks, until Android push ships.
Relay URLs: live URLs. The tool and its arguments: protocol.
Self-host
Run your own relay and Supabase project with the OpenTofu code in infra/. Steps: infra/README.md. Build the app with your Supabase and relay values (app/.env.example), and add your relay to your agent. To run everything on one computer first: local quick start.
