Hyperlocal live-map social network

The city isn’t a feed. It’s a map — and it’s alive right now.

Open the app and you immediately see what’s happening around you — where something’s going on, where someone just posted a moment, where a conversation started, where an alert dropped. No endless scroll — just the real city, in real time.

The interface

The map is the feed.

How it works

Tap a district. The city opens up.

You’re in SoHo, Williamsburg or Yonkers — the map pulses over districts where activity is happening right now. Tap a district and its board opens: latest posts, who’s active, what chat rooms are live, what’s trending in the last 24 hours.

Want to post something? Pick a type — event, photo, chat, alert, map note — and a visibility level. That’s the whole loop.

  • Profile only
  • District board only
  • On the map
  • Fully anonymous
The differentiator

Privacy is architectural.

We do not capture your exact GPS. Ever. Location isn’t a setting you toggle — it’s something the system is built to never know.

How the pin works

  1. 1The app resolves which district you’re in using client-side polygons — the computation never leaves your phone.
  2. 2Only the district is stored. Not coordinates, not a trace, not a heat-map of you.
  3. 3Your pin appears at a random point inside that district’s polygon — nobody, including us, knows where you actually are.
What makes it different

Built to feel alive.

Ephemeral avatars

Someone posts in Williamsburg — their avatar pulses over the district for 4 seconds and fades. The city feels genuinely alive in front of you.

Temporary chat rooms

Start a chat in a park — people join, talk. 15 minutes of silence and the room closes itself. No dead archive.

Verified Live Reporters

Trusted locals get a ✦ badge — their posts live longer, render bigger on the map and push through a dedicated channel. A trust layer above the noise.

Hyperlocal push

An alert in your district pushes to your phone even if the app is closed. Only what’s happening where you live.

Four visibility modes

Including fully anonymous — share a moment or warn people without exposing yourself.

Real-time, not archived

Trending is the last 24 hours; rooms self-close; avatars fade. The whole product is tuned to now, not to a permanent record.
