Tired of waiting for the bro who's "be there in 5 min"? 5 Min Bro fixes that. One tap creates a session. You get a 4-digit code. Your friend types it in.

Just a short session that ends when you link up. Perfect for meetups, festivals, or finding your squad. Premium: send custom sound recordings π Free on iOS & Android.
Hey Product Hunt! π
Let me tell you a story.
It was a Saturday night. The bro texted: "Almost there, 5 minutes."
I was standing outside my house. Jacket on. Ready. Waiting to get picked up.
25 minutes later β still no bro. I texted "where are you?". He replied: "Almost there, literally 2 minutes."
Spoiler: he was not 2 minutes away.
15 more minutes. I was still standing outside my front door like a suitcase someone forgot to pack.
The problem:
"Be there in 5 min" is the biggest lie in human history.
Bigger than "I've read the terms and conditions."
Bigger than "I'm not mad."
Bigger than "just one more episode."
And the worst part? There's literally no way to know. I just stood there. Wondering if the bro was on his way or still at home debating which shoes to wear.
Every existing solution is broken:
β Share My Location on iMessage? Requires both people to be Apple users AND already in contacts
β Google Maps live location? The bro needs a Google account and has to actively share
β Find My Friends? Good luck getting the bro to set that up at 11pm while I'm standing outside freezing
The solution:
I open 5 Min Bro β create a session β get a 4-digit code β text it to the bro.
The bro opens the app β types the code.
That's it. Now we're BOTH on the same live map, watching each other move in real time β no accounts, no friend requests, no "you need to download AND sign up AND accept my request AND wait for approval."
Just a code. And a map. And the end of standing outside your own front door like a lost penguin.
The session runs for a set time β not forever. Not a 24/7 surveillance system. Just long enough to actually find each other.
The sounds:
There are free built-in sounds you can fire at the bro directly from the app: "Where are you?", "I'm coming", "Hurry up." No typing required. Just pure passive-aggressive efficiency.
And if that's not enough? Premium users can record ANY sound and spam the bro with it. π
Your voice. Your words. Your very specific message about punctuality. A sound effect. A song. A scream. An insult delivered with love. We don't judge. Record whatever you want and make his phone say it.
The result:
I've stopped standing outside my house waiting.
The bro has NOT stopped claiming to be "5 minutes away" when he's clearly still at home. But now I can see him on a map and know exactly how much of a liar he is. In real time. With live location updates.
It's free on iOS & Android. Built solo. Would love your honest feedback β and if you've ever stood outside your house waiting for the bro who was "almost there," drop your story in the comments π
