Features

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

Six core features that work together to create a platform no one else has built. Each one designed around your privacy, not our revenue.

🔐 End-to-end encrypted · P2P
01 — Messaging

P2P encrypted.
No server reads it.

Every message is encrypted on your device before sending. It travels peer-to-peer — our server facilitates the connection but never sees the content. Not even us.

Signal Protocol with Double Ratchet — the same encryption used by Signal and WhatsApp
WebRTC peer-to-peer — messages travel directly between devices when both are online
Forward secrecy — past messages stay safe even if a key is ever compromised
Offline queue — messages held in encrypted form until recipient comes online
Large file transfers up to 2GB, encrypted end-to-end

Who can find me?
Everyone
My connections only
Category searchers
👻 Ghost — nobody
Per-category visibility also available
02 — Visibility Control

You decide
who finds you.

No other platform lets you control your visibility this precisely. Choose who can discover you — by relationship, by category, or go completely invisible. Change it anytime.

Four visibility modes: Everyone, Connections, Category searchers, Ghost
Category-level control — visible only to people searching your specific field
Online status control — appear offline even when you're active
Last seen control — show exact time, "recently", or hide completely
Ghost mode — completely invisible to all searches, still receive messages from connections

05b — Nearby Discovery

ICQ nostalji.
Modern gizlilik.

Kadıköy'deki 20-35 yaş arası bekar bayanları göster — sadece paylaşmak istedikleri kadar. Konum bilgisi tamamen kullanıcının kontrolünde. Tam adres asla.

Semt bazında konum — "Kadıköy", "Beşiktaş" gibi. Koordinat asla paylaşılmaz.
Hassasiyet kullanıcı seçer — Semt / İlçe / Şehir / Ülke / Gizle
Anlık konum toggle — "Şu an Kadıköy'deyim" açık/kapalı, istediğinde kapatırsın
Mesafe gösterimi — "~0.8km yakınında", tam adres değil
GPS arka planda asla çalışmaz — sadece arama anında, izin verirsen
Kombine filtreler — yaş, cinsiyet, medeni hal, kategori, konum bir arada
Sadece tanıdıklarıma göster — konumu herkese değil sadece bağlantılarına açabilirsin
