Human Connection, Not Digital Clutter
DinkLink is a local social presence app designed to help people connect in real life without accounts, inboxes, followers, or endless scrolling.
Open the app, create a simple micro-profile, and choose whether you are “Open to meet.” Nearby DinkLink users can appear on your screen using Bluetooth LE, giving you a gentle way to notice who is around and open to a real-world hello.
DinkLink is intentionally simple:
• No account required
• No messaging
• No GPS/location tracking
• No contacts upload
• No social feed
• No follower counts
• No server-based profile storage
It is designed for real places: cafés, pubs, events, campuses, clubs, conferences, meetups, festivals, community gatherings, and anywhere people may want a low-pressure way to notice one another nearby.
DinkLink is about local presence, not online noise.
Local, Ephemeral, Respectful.
At its core, DinkLink is powered by Bluetooth and runs on your device. It creates a temporary local view of nearby users who have chosen to be visible. Your micro-profile is not uploaded to a server, stored in the cloud, sold, or used for advertising.
DinkLink does not use personal data for ads or tracking. Any analytics are limited to aggregated, non-identifying insights.
Free to use.
