LEAPTRX: Nearby & Offline Chat

Stay connected with anyone around you — in the same place or on the same network, with or without internet. LEAPTRX finds people nearby who use the app and carries messages directly between phones over a shared Wi-Fi network, Bluetooth, or Apple's peer-to-peer Wi-Fi between iPhones and iPads. Not only people you already know: in coworking spaces, dorms, airports and cafés, people can write first and meet after. SAY HI FIRST • Publish an optional micropage — about you, or a business's hours and links • People nearby browse it and tap Message; ice-breakers fill in a first message, never send it • See how many people opened your micropage, never who YOU DECIDE WHO REACHES YOU • First messages from new people wait in Message requests: Accept, Block or Delete • Choose who can message you, or turn on Invisible Mode • Report a person, message, micropage or group member: it blocks them at once and lets you email the report to [email protected] PRIVATE AND VERIFIED • End-to-end encrypted, always • Each chat has a six-word safety phrase to compare in person; if a key changes, the chat pauses until you verify again • No account, phone number or email; no analytics, ads or servers of ours GROUPS AND CHATS • Private or public groups with admins; public groups show on the nearby radar and joining needs an admin's approval • Photos and GIFs, replies, reactions, delete for everyone, receipts, typing indicators, App Lock with fingerprint or face unlock • Clear messages after 1 hour, 24 hours or 7 days — on your device only • Messages can hop through other phones running LEAPTRX to reach further WHEN APART • Optional, off by default: contacts you met nearby who also turn on "Stay in touch when apart" can text, reply and react through public Nostr relays, still end-to-end encrypted • Group admins can turn it on per group • Photos stay nearby-only FOR AGES 13+ Under 18s are hidden from people they don't know, only contacts added in person can message them, and they have no micropage or public groups. GOOD TO KNOW Range is Bluetooth and your local network, extended by other phones running the app. Not for emergencies. iOS limits background activity; keep the app open on iPhone for the most reliable delivery.
