One line makes you visible for four hours. Chats dissolve a day after the last message. The map never shows your real position. No ads, no purchases. Flukto is a local chat. You write one line, and people near you can see it and answer. There is no phone number to give, no contact list to import, and nobody you have to add first. HOW IT WORKS Write one line: what you feel like doing, or nothing in particular. Then go on air. You stay on air for four hours; update your line and the four hours start again, or stop at once. People within your reach see your line, tap it and write. You choose your reach, from a few hundred metres up to five kilometres. The map shows where people are: cells warm up where someone is on air and cool down as people leave. EVERYTHING HERE IS SHORT-LIVED A first message to someone nearby lives for one hour, two if the person is not on air right now. Unanswered, it is gone, and no inbox fills up with it. A chat dissolves 24 hours after the last message, on both sides, completely. There is no archive, no export and no way back. That is the point, not a shortcoming. MORE, ONCE YOU ARE HERE Notes: leave a note in the cell you are standing in, for an hour or up to a week. People standing in that cell or one of the six around it, on air, can find it, give a thumb and comment, visiting guests included. Thumbs up keep a note alive a little longer. Friends: after a talk you can keep someone on a private list and write again later, near or far. The list is yours alone, nobody is told. Groups: open a group with people you have talked to. A group dissolves 7 days after the last message or join. Visits: visit a busy place anywhere in the world for the rest of your session and talk there as a guest. Translation: a line in a language you do not speak can be translated on our own server, on tap, never by itself. Stickers: print a sticker with your picture and a code. Whoever scans it can write you one line, even from far away. YOUR POSITION STAYS YOURS Flukto never sends your exact position by itself. What others see is a rough point at least 300 metres coarse, the same point for everyone, so it cannot be narrowed down. Distances are rounded up. Your own device is the only one that shows where you really are. One thing is different, and it is deliberate: a meeting point. That is a place you pick by hand and send on purpose, and it dies with the chat. WHAT FLUKTO IS NOT No advertising. No in-app purchases. No selling of data. No public profiles, no follower counts, no algorithm choosing whom you see: you see the people around you. Flukto is a private, free service, made by one person, with no other plans for you. WHAT WE CANNOT DO We do not verify identities. A name and a photo are a claim, not a fact. Meeting someone happens at your own responsibility: meet in public places, tell someone where you are, and stop as soon as something feels off. You owe nobody a reason. Profile photos are checked before anyone sees them, by a program and, in unclear cases, by a person. Every person, every conversation and every note can be reported and blocked.

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

• Staying signed in: an update or a notification at the wrong moment no longer sends anyone back to the sign-in screen. • Wrong account while setting up the profile? One line under Continue signs out and returns to the sign-in screen. • In Chats, the ring of an open chat or a waiting first message breathes and turns red in its last hour, and a row whose time is up fades away; the on-air timer does the same 20 minutes before the end.
