Real people.
One shot.

The only people you can see are the ones in the room with you, right now. When you can't walk over, send one message. Ever. That's the whole app.

How it works

Three lanes. One mesh.
You choose why you're here.

Dating, casual, or just seeing where it goes. You're only visible to people who picked Flirting too, so everyone in the room already knows why you're here.

For when the right maybe is across the room

The bubbles in your feed are people physically in this room, this minute, discovered phone-to-phone over Bluetooth and encrypted end-to-end. Nobody in between can read what you send. Walk out, and the network forgets you — no trail across venues, no profile of where you've been.

Same room.
Three very different nights.

Flirting

You see them across the bar. They picked Flirting too, so the hardest question is already answered. You get one opener — write it like you'd say it out loud. If they reply, they see your profile. If they don't, nothing happens. To anyone.

Friends

Making friends as an adult is weird because nobody says what they want. The Friends lane says it for you. Same climbing gym, same quiz team, same 7am train — the people in your bubble are already in your life. They just haven't said hi yet.

Everyone here picked Friends. Nobody's guessing.

Anything

Airport gate. Hotel bar. The long wait at the DMV. You're not looking for anything — which is exactly when the good conversations happen. The Anything lane is for a half-hour with a stranger you'll never see again, or the start of something you didn't plan.

Messaging

Strangers, handled.

Everyone gets 7 days before the $5 ID check. Until someone's checked, their openers land in Requests — a quiet folder, no badge, no push. Read it when you feel like it. Pass, and they never find out.

Want zero exposure? Flip ID-checked only and unverified accounts don't see you at all. It's a safety setting, so it never locks and it changes instantly.

Who can send me openers
Under the hood

No GPS. No map.
No one reading along.

Most apps ask for your location and keep a map of everyone near you. Maybe never asks for GPS. Your phone listens for nearby phones over Bluetooth, and only while you're in the room.

BLE
Bluetooth finds the room
Phones advertise a rotating anonymous ID and listen for others. Range is roughly a room — about 30m line of sight — and it sips battery.
Relay
Our server carries sealed messages
Openers and replies travel through our server, encrypted on your phone first. It passes along messages it can't open. Phone-to-phone delivery over Wi-Fi Aware is on the roadmap.
E2E
Encrypted before it leaves your hand
Sealed on your phone with the same design Signal uses: an X3DH handshake, then a Double Ratchet. Our server relays it and can't read it.
Server
Identity, security, and the connections you've made
Our server checks you're a real adult, enforces blocks and the one-opener rule, and turns the IDs your phone hears into the people you're allowed to see. It gets no GPS, never sees what you said, and keeps no list of who you were near.
Why Maybe

Built for the person who doesn't want an app.

Most social apps reward volume. Maybe rewards restraint. The best way to meet someone is to be in the same room — everything else is architecture, so we built the smallest possible surface between that moment and a real conversation.

Proximity is the filter

You can only see, and be seen by, people who are physically nearby right now. Geography isn't a preference. It's the mechanic.

Intent is declared

Pick a lane and it locks for a week. Everyone in the room knows why you're here. Ambiguity is designed out.

Rejection is invisible

No read receipts. No "seen". No notification that someone passed. If it doesn't land, it quietly never existed. The shame is engineered away.

Safety is structural

Government-ID check, an 18+ gate, photos that unlock only after two real signals, blocks that survive reinstalls. Trust isn't a setting.

Our business model

$5. Once. That's the whole business model.

Seven days to look around for free. Then a one-time $5 ID check keeps bots out and pays for the identity checks, the mesh, and a small team building this honestly. Fail the check and you're not charged.

No ads. No data brokers. No premium tier that quietly sells your attention. The only way to keep that promise is to never need your data to make money.

FAQ

Honest answers.

Is this a dating app?

It has a flirting lane, a friends lane and an open lane. You pick your intent and you're only visible to people who picked the same. So: a proximity app with explicit intent, not a dating app with a friends tab bolted on.

Is it GPS?

Your phone finds nearby phones over Bluetooth. No map of everyone in your zip code lives on a server; walk out of the room and the network forgets you were there.

What happens when someone ignores me?

Nothing you can see. There's no rejection notice, no read receipt, no "seen". You hear back only if they reply. Rejection is invisible by design.

Why $5, and why an ID?

You get 7 days free. After that, a one-time $5 Stripe Identity check (selfie + government ID) keeps bots and repeat abusers out. Stripe sees the ID; Maybe sees pass or fail. Fail the check and you aren't charged.

How is safety handled?

ID verification, an 18+ gate, photos that unlock only after two real signals, blocks that survive reinstalls, a choice to hear only from ID-checked people, and text-only messages until you're actually friends.
