Proxi-Pals

See who's around you right now and break the ice with a wave. Free, private by default, and made for real-world moments. New: save local coupons from nearby spots.

ProxiPals turns the people already around you into people you can actually meet.

Open the app and see who nearby is also using ProxiPals — at the park, a coffee shop, a concert, a conference, or just walking your street. Tap to wave hello. If they wave back, you're connected, and you can chat privately or start a video call to say a proper hi.

You are always in control of being seen: • Visible to everyone nearby, visible only to your connections, or completely invisible — switch anytime. • Distances are shown as approximate ranges, never your exact spot, so no one can pin down where you are. • Your ratings of people you meet stay private on your device — no one else ever sees them.

MADE FOR REAL LIFE • See nearby people with a photo or emoji profile — your choice. • Wave to introduce yourself; a mutual wave creates a private connection. • Private 1-to-1 chat and phone-camera video calls with your connections. • Street chat: talk to everyone inside your chosen radius. • Keep a private gallery of the pals you've met. • A personal "Where I've Been" travel log you can keep private or share.

SAFE BY DESIGN • Real accounts with email verification; ProxiPals is 18+. • Automatic filtering of hateful and abusive language. • Report or block anyone in one tap; repeat offenders are suspended and reviewed. • Clear community guidelines and safety tips for meeting people.

SUPPORT LOCAL, SAVE MONEY • Discover a small number of clearly-labeled offers from businesses right around you. • Save coupons and discount codes from nearby spots and redeem them in person.

WHY IT'S FREE ProxiPals is completely free. We keep it that way with a few relevant, local ads and optional donations — we never sell your data, your location history, or your identity.

Get out there and say hi.
