Ghost Spot helps you discover small, informal local businesses that traditional maps miss — street food carts, market stalls, pop-ups, home-based creators, mobile services and independent traders.
It also gives those traders a simple way to put themselves on the map: no commissions, no payment processing, no complicated verification.
DISCOVER WHAT IS NEARBY
Open the map to find local stalls and independent traders around you. Search by business name, description or category, and set a distance radius from 1 km to 50 km. Results are sorted by distance, so the closest options come first.
Location permission is optional. The map and listings still work if you decline it.
EXPLORE DETAILED LISTINGS
Each stall can include a description, category, cover image and photo gallery, a menu or service list with prices, opening hours for each day of the week, an address label, ratings and a WhatsApp contact.
Browse everything before deciding whether to get in touch.
CONTACT TRADERS DIRECTLY
Ghost Spot does not handle bookings, orders, deliveries or payments. When you find something you like, message the trader on WhatsApp with a prefilled message. Whatever you arrange happens directly between you and them, outside the app.
PUT YOUR BUSINESS ON THE MAP
Create a listing in a few steps. Add your business name, tagline and description, category, photos, products or services with prices, WhatsApp number, opening hours, address label and map location.
A valid location and WhatsApp number are required so customers can actually find and reach you.
DROP TEMPORARY GHOST PINS
Share short-lived local activity with a Ghost Pin. Choose a spot on the map, add an icon and a short note, and publish it for people nearby. Ghost Pins disappear automatically after 24 hours.
SEARCH BY CATEGORY
Browse listings across Food, Drinks, Crafts, Fashion, Beauty, Services, Art, Plants and more. Widen the radius to explore further out.
OPENING HOURS, MENUS AND RATINGS
Check whether a trader is open today, browse their weekly hours, look through their menu or service list, and leave a star rating afterwards. Your past ratings stay available from your profile.
MANAGE YOUR PROFILE AND LISTINGS
From your profile you can edit your name, photo and bio, view your ratings, manage your stalls, review notifications, manage blocked users and delete your account. Deleting a stall removes it from the map.
COMMUNITY SAFETY
Ghost Spot includes tools to keep the directory useful and safe. You can report a stall or a temporary pin, choose a reason and add details, block another user, and hide everything they have posted. Blocked users can be unblocked from your profile at any time.
Reports go to a moderation team that can remove content and suspend accounts.
PRIVACY
There is no advertising, no analytics and no cross-app tracking.
Your live device location is used on your device to show nearby results and sort them by distance. It is not uploaded as your personal location.
Information you deliberately add to a listing — including its map location and public WhatsApp number — is visible to other users by design.
You can delete your account, and everything in it, from inside the app.
IMPORTANT
Ghost Spot is a discovery and directory platform. Businesses, listings, pins, prices, availability and ratings are submitted by users and are not verified, guaranteed or endorsed by us. We are not part of any transaction and process no payments, bookings or deliveries. Please confirm details with the trader before visiting or arranging anything.
