Kapota: You're Local.
Anywhere you go, you're local.
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Land somewhere new and know what's happening. City announcements, local deals, groups and activities nearby — with every conversation auto-translated.
Anywhere you go, you're a local.
Kapota connects you to the place you're in. Land in a new city and find out what's happening tonight, what the local shops are offering, and what the city is announcing — in your language. The information locals already have, without the years of living there.
Not a feed to scroll. A world to enter.
• WHAT'S HAPPENING AROUND YOU
Bluetooth and GPS surface what's actually nearby — the groups meeting up, the businesses on your block, the announcements that affect where you're standing. What's around you, not what an algorithm decided to show you.
• GROUPS AND ACTIVITIES
Sunset hikes. Language exchanges. Pickup basketball. Photography walks. Real activities organised by people in the area — join one, or start your own and let Kapota generate the invitation card with AI.
• TALK ACROSS LANGUAGES
Send a message in English. They read it in Portuguese. They reply in Portuguese. You read it in English. Over 100 languages, in real time with Kapota Pro. City announcements translate for everyone, free.
• THE CITY IN YOUR FEED
Tram closures. Festival schedules. Beach water quality. Emergency alerts. Local cities post directly into your feed, translated in the app — no hunting through municipal websites in a language you don't read.
• LOCAL DEALS, NOT ADS
The bakery 80 meters away has tarts at half off for the next hour. The bookshop is hosting a poetry reading tonight. Real businesses on your block — not paid placements from companies five states away.
• FOR BUSINESSES — REACH YOUR BLOCK
A direct line to the people nearby, right now. Publish a deal in under a minute. Run loyalty programs. Generate marketing flyers with AI. Understand your customers with segments and reach. No ad auctions, no bidding against national chains — just your shop and the street outside it.
• FOR CITIES AND INSTITUTIONS — REACH YOUR RESIDENTS
Municipal accounts let cities, local governments and schools post announcements, emergency alerts and scheduled updates straight into residents' and visitors' feeds — translated in the app for everyone in town. A flat-rate broadcast channel that takes a few steps, not an enterprise procurement. Not a replacement for the systems you have: an additional channel that reaches the people who'd otherwise never get the information — the traveler walking through who has no idea about the festival, the closure, the alert. See how many people your posts reached.
• PRIVACY AS ARCHITECTURE
You see distance, not coordinates. Browse incognito when you want to. Block anyone you don't want to see again. Delete your account anytime. We don't sell your data — ever.
• TWO LAYERS OF PRESENCE
Bluetooth Low Energy for the room you're in. GPS for the block you're on. Two layers of proximity, one feed.
• PERMISSIONS
Bluetooth — for short-range proximity discovery
Location — for nearby people, groups, and deals
Notifications — for messages, connection requests, and city alerts

Ratings & Reviews
Group chats now support photos, videos, reactions and replies.
Moments can be videos, and the feed loads older posts as you scroll.
Calls answered from the lock screen now have sound, and the screen stays awake during video calls.
Reply and edit are back in the message menu, and images load far faster on a slow connection.
Fixes to the typing indicator, expired groups appearing in feeds, and people you're already connected to showing up in Discover.
