Proximity Chat

Ephemeral 1:1 and group chat matched by rough location and language. No messages or contacts are stored on the server.

Proximity Chat matches you with people near your physical location who speak your language — or lets you create self-destructing group rooms — all inside a Chrome side panel. 🔒 **Privacy-first:** No messages are ever stored. No accounts. No tracking. Everything disappears the moment you disconnect. 🌍 **How it works:** • Your city is detected automatically from your IP — never GPS • Choose your preferred language & matching scope (city, radius, or global) • Hit "Quick Match" to connect 1:1, browse nearby users, or create a group room • Chat in real-time — messages relay directly in-memory and are never written to disk • When a chat or room is empty — it completely self-destructs and disappears forever ✨ **Features:** • **1:1 Quick Match:** Instantly pair with the closest person who speaks your language • **👥 Ephemeral Group Rooms (NEW):** Create custom multi-user rooms in 1 click or join via Room Code. The entire room self-destructs automatically when the last person leaves! • **Local & Global Discovery:** Browse online users in your city or search by proximity radius • **Zero-Trace Privacy:** In-memory message relay only — zero database logging • **Saved Contacts:** Save nicknames locally in your browser to reconnect later without creating an account • **Live Feedback:** Real-time typing indicators and online participant counts • **Sleek Glassmorphism UI:** Modern dark-mode interface designed cleanly for the Chrome Side Panel • **14 Languages Supported:** Arabic, English, Spanish, French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Urdu, and Chinese 🚫 **What we DON'T do:** • No message logging or chat history — zero data retention • No persistent rooms — rooms vanish from memory when empty • No GPS or precise location tracking — approximate city-level only • No user accounts, passwords, or personal profiles • No ads, no analytics trackers, no data brokers • No cookies 💡 **Use cases:** • **Travelers & Expats:** Chat with locals or find travelers who speak your language • **Students & Campuses:** Create instant pop-up study rooms for your class that disappear after the session • **Events & Meetups:** Spin up a temporary group room with a code — no phone numbers or invites required • **Coworking & Remote Work:** Network with professionals working in the same city or café • **Language Exchange:** Practice languages in real-time with people nearby
