Dude: Chat, Call & Connect

Switch between Social, Business & Private profiles instantly — each with its own chats and contacts. Rich messaging, crystal-clear calls, and people nearby.

Dude is one app that adapts to every side of your life. Switch between Social, Business and Private profiles — each with its own chats, contacts and theme — without ever juggling multiple apps or accounts.

REAL-TIME MESSAGING Fast, reliable one-to-one and group chat built on a live Socket.IO connection, with an offline queue so messages you send without signal go out the moment you're back online. See when messages are delivered and read, reply and edit inline, and pick up right where you left off across devices.

SAY IT YOUR WAY Send photos and videos with on-device compression, voice notes, files, GIFs and stickers, and your live location — all in one thread. Preview links automatically, react to any message, and translate incoming messages on the fly when a conversation crosses languages.

VOICE & VIDEO CALLS Start a crystal-clear one-to-one or group call without leaving the chat. Calls run on a low-latency LiveKit backbone built for stable audio and video, with quick controls for mute, camera and speaker.

DISCOVER PEOPLE & BUSINESSES NEARBY Turn on NearMe to find people and local businesses around you on a live map. Adjust your search radius, browse the list view, and say hello or check out a business profile in a tap.

ONE APP, THREE SIDES OF YOU • Social — friends, group chats and people nearby • Business — a customer-facing profile with catalogue, cart and order management • Private — a separate, lockable space for your closest contacts

GROUPS Create groups for trips, teams or communities, and manage members, roles and shared media in one place.

BUILT FOR EVERYDAY USE • Offline-first local storage, so your chats are there even without a connection • Push notifications that respect your Do Not Disturb and mute settings • Multi-language interface: English, Hindi, Gujarati, Kannada, Marathi and Telugu • Full account controls, including in-app account deletion

Dude runs on iPhone and iPad, with the same account and message history synced across both.
