Shadow-ProximatyChat

Connect with nearby people anonymously. No signups. No data

What it does

Most chat apps collect profiles, store messages, and follow you forever. Shadow doesn’t. Shadow lets you talk to people around you or anywhere on the map without: accounts emails or phone numbers usernames or profiles You open the app, get a random anonymous ID, and start talking. Rooms are tied to locations, not users. Messages and rooms auto-delete after 24 hours, leaving no history behind. No feeds. No followers. No data trails. Just real, temporary conversations.
