Main stage
did they just announce the encore?
Nearby, ephemeral, text-only
Live chat for the room you're in.
Twitch-style chat for people sharing the same place.
What makes it different
Built for the moment, not the feed.
No accounts
Open the app, join a nearby room, and talk. No phone number or profile graph.
Nearby-first
Rooms follow the area you are in, so conversation stays tied to the place.
Ephemeral by default
Built for live conversation, not permanent timelines or searchable archives.
Zero backend
Designed around local-first mesh transport instead of a central chat server.
How it works
A room chat layer for real places.
Herechat turns nearby peer discovery into simple rooms for what is happening here and now.
Useful anywhere people gather
Events, campuses, neighborhoods, outages.
Concerts
Conferences
Meetups
Campus quads
Apartment buildings
Parks
Festivals
Transit delays
Local outages
Coming soon
A tiny app for chat that belongs to the place.
Herechat is being built in the open for Android and iOS. Reach out if you want to test early builds.
