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.

01

No accounts

Open the app, join a nearby room, and talk. No phone number or profile graph.

02

Nearby-first

Rooms follow the area you are in, so conversation stays tied to the place.

03

Ephemeral by default

Built for live conversation, not permanent timelines or searchable archives.

04

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.

Discover Find nearby peers over local transport.
Join Enter short-lived rooms for the current place.
Relay Messages can move when the mesh has a path.

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.
