Sifter

Connect With People Nearby

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

There are conversations happening around you that you're missing. Sifter lets anyone reach anyone nearby without exchanging personal info. Just show up and speak. Sifter is a location-based group chat app where users create and join conversation rooms tied to real-world locations. Every chat room is created by a registered user with a name, description, and geographic boundary. Only people physically within that boundary can see and join the room. There is no random matching, no one-to-one pairing, and no anonymous strangers — every user has a verified account and visible username. HOW IT WORKS • Registered users create named chat rooms at specific locations with a set range • Other verified users within that geographic area can browse rooms and choose to join • Room creators control their space — set passwords, allow or restrict guest access, moderate conversations • Rooms automatically close when the creator leaves, after inactivity, or by manual closing BUILT FOR REAL LIFE • Concerts & Events — Create a room for the crowd around you • Neighborhoods — Discuss local news, lost pets, or organize meetups • Travel — Start conversations at hotels, airports, or landmarks • Business — Engage nearby customers with location-based promotions • Campus — Study groups, dorm chats, campus alerts EARN & COMPETE • Earn points for creating rooms, sending messages, and exploring • Unlock 30+ achievements with custom badges • Climb the leaderboard and earn titles like World Champion SAFE & PRIVATE • Phone verification required to create an account • Content moderation, reporting, and blocking built in • Room creators can mute, ban, and remove users • Profanity filtering and age-appropriate content controls • Location used only for geofencing — never shared with other users Download Sifter and start real conversations in real places.
