Real-time messaging
Messages arrive the moment they’re sent. See when your travel buddy is typing, know when your message is delivered and read, react with an emoji, and share voice messages, photos and documents without leaving the chat.
How it works
Instant delivery
No refreshing, no waiting: new messages appear in the chat as soon as they’re sent.
Typing indicator
“typing…” shows under their name while your buddy writes a reply.
Delivered and read
One tick when sent, two when delivered, and colored ticks once it’s read. You can edit a message until the other person reads it.
Smart alerts
A short chime and an in-app banner when you’re elsewhere in the app, and no duplicate notification when the chat is already open.
Voice, photos and documents
Record a voice message, send a photo from your gallery or camera, or share a document up to 20 MB.
Private by design
Media is removed from our servers as soon as it’s delivered and stays on your phone for 7 days. Save what you want to keep.

Great! I was looking for a room in Shibuya, want to share?
