poym™ In active field testing

Paired proximity alerts

Stay close without staying side by side.

Poym helps hikers and cyclists know when they have drifted too far apart. Both people get the alert, without needing a phone, cellular service, or a Global Positioning System (GPS) connection.

Prototype in active development

poym, the invisible tether, between two green-alert prototypes

Built for the places where bars disappear.

Independent by design

No phone

Nothing to carry, check, or unlock

No cellular

Designed for beyond-the-grid use

No GPS

Measures the space between the pair

01 / How it works

Freedom to move. A signal when it matters.

  1. 01

    Carry one each

    Each person carries a small paired device. Once underway, the pair works without relying on a phone.

  2. 02

    Move naturally

    Poym uses Bluetooth Channel Sounding to measure the changing distance between the devices.

  3. 03

    Both people know

    If the pair moves beyond the selected separation, both devices alert so neither person is left guessing.

02 / Built for

Start with the trail. Grow from there.

First release

Hikers & cyclists

For pairs who want room to explore at their own pace and a shared alert if the gap becomes too large.

Future revisions

Tours & rescue

The same distance-aware foundation is being explored for group coordination, guided experiences, and rescue operations.

Concept direction / not yet available

The distance layer

Made to notice the gap.

Poym is built around Bluetooth Channel Sounding: radio technology designed to measure distance directly instead of treating signal strength as distance. We are testing the hardware across real trail geometry, body blockage, and changing orientation before publishing final performance specifications.

Paired The distance between the two devices is what matters.
Field tested Designed through controlled outdoor testing, not desk assumptions.
Shared alert Both sides are notified when the selected separation is crossed.
In development Final range, battery life, and availability are still being validated.
