Totem Tribe

Signal lost. Friends found.

When cell towers get jammed and Wi-Fi is nowhere in sight, Totem keeps working. Each Compass connects to satellites for its own position, then links up with every other Totem nearby through our Unity Mesh Network™—no signal required. Just follow the pretty lights and find up to 8 people at once in real-time.

What people are saying

"They worked reliably for my pals and I, and I felt safer going to stages by myself with the added layer of security."

"The Totem Compass is well-designed and easy to use. We think they pulled it off."

"Genuinely came in handy more than once over the weekend and did what it was supposed to do. Saved me a lot of time and phone battery when it came to tracking people down & reconnecting with the group."

"Whether you’re an avid festival goer or an artist looking for ways to connect with your fans, the Totem Compass helps you stay connected and stay in the moment.  "

"The Totem Compass is a clever and calming tool to keep your closest people close, without relying on phones or signals."

"A must-have family tool for amusement parks, camping, family vacations, and more."
