Description

Concept A new way to connect with the world around you. A true peer-to-peer model it's adopted. Using your device's Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, it creates a local network with those nearby (≈100m). You can discover and communicate with others directly, without the need for an internet connection, a central server, or an account. Conversations are truly yours, vanishing once the connection with the other is dropped. Control Tap on 'Start Scanning' in order to become discoverable (Online), and to discover nearby. You must maintain the app running in foreground. Tap on the profile picture and/or name in order to edit your details. Tap on 'Connect' of the tile representing the peer you want to send an invitation to connect. If you receive an invitation to connect, tap 'Accept' or 'Refuse'. Exit the chat from the top right corner. Features: Personalisation: Tap on the profile picture or name in order to edit (available on the VIP Plan) Invitation-Based Discovery: Instantly find other users in your area with the app open and send them a private invitation to connect. Secure, Direct Messaging: Chat directly with nearby connections, no internet required, once the invitation is accepted. No Sign-Ups, No Profiles: Jump right into the experience. No need to create an account or hand over personal information. Private and Secure: Your privacy is a priority. With no central server, your data is never collected, stored or exploited. Join the movement to a more local, private, and authentic social experience. Note: For the app to function and discover nearby peers, it must be running in the foreground by tapping "Start Scanning".
