Dust features for 2025
Calendar Export
You can export your favorite events and reminders to your phone's calendar! Press the calendar icon on the favorites page.
Go Offline
Before you get to the playa be sure to choose the “Go Offline” option to make sure all images and audio are stored on your device because you can’t rely on having any cell service when you are there.
Friends
You’re going to want to note down where your friends are. If you know their camp then add them from the camp page, or you can add friends by their address on the home page. You can see your friends on the map by pressing the "Friends" button on the home page.
Find my Bike
It is easy to lose your bike at large camps, so mark it on the map before you leave your bike, so that you can find it later.
You can also use this feature to pin secret camps, mutant vehicle locations, etc.
Reminders
Going to a private party or have a volunteer shift? Add it as a reminder and get a notification before it happens. Reminders are listed on the home page.
Restrooms
Porta potties are hard to find in the dark and sometimes you’ll need to find the nearest one. Press the "Restrooms" button on the home page.
Ice
Want to find out opening hours, prices and locations for Ice? Use “Ice” on the home page.
Art Audio Tour
Want to hear about the art on the playa? Many art pieces have an audio guide. Look for the audio icon.
Mutant Vehicles
Want to know more about that mutant vehicle you just saw? You can now find them under “Art” or filter by “Mutant Vehicle”. Mutant Vehicles registrations were managed through dust this year.
Rock Star Librarian
The music section is a collection of DJ sets and Live music collated by Rock Star Librarian. Favoriting a musician will notify you before their set. This feature unlocks in the app on Tuesday 19th August.
Rock Star Librarian registrations were managed through dust this year through a collaboration with Kate Houston.
BRC Passport
If you have got your passport from the BRC Passport Office (5:30 & B), you can find theme camps issuing stamps from the Camps page. Press the down arrow and choose "Passport Camp".
Queer Burners
Looking for inclusive and queer-friendly camps? You can find them, thanks to queerburners.org, by pressing the down arrow on camps and choosing "LGBTQIA+ Inclusive".
Burn Planner
We've built an integration with Burn Planner to allow you to import any events you have chosen there into dust!
Other New Features
We've added several new features since 2024 Burning Man:
- Clear Favorites - You can clear the list of favorites.
- No Recurring Events - From the events page press the down arrow and choose "No recurring" to only see one-off events. This can be helpful to cut through the noise of repeating events.
- Camp Images - Camps now have images! You can find their image on event page too.
Say Hi!
This year I'm camping with Kosmik Dust at the Center Camp Keyhole. Come say hi, I may even have some swag for you!
Cheers, Damian.
