One line. Any place on Earth. Any language.

How it works

1. 

   01

   Write one line

   One line about what you would like to do. People near you can see it and answer.

2. 

   02

   On air for four hours

   Update the line and the four hours start again, or stop at once.

3. 

   03

   A chat that dissolves

   A chat dissolves a day after the last message. There is no archive.

4. 

   04

   Anywhere on Earth

   Turn the globe, pick a warm place and visit it as a guest. Not your language? One tap translates.

What people use Flukto for

• New in town

  Nobody around you know yet. One line, and you see who nearby feels like company right now.

• At home, not alone

  Your own neighbourhood, known only in passing. One line, and the area gets faces.

• Now, not next week

  Coffee, a walk, a film tonight. Whoever answers is within reach and free right now.

• On holiday

  Beach, hotel, old town, and nobody to head out with in the evening. Say what you feel like and see who around is after the same: locals and travellers alike.

• Curious about a city

  Open the World tab, pick a city on the other side of the planet and visit it. For the rest of your session you are on air there: locals see a visitor, you see who is up for a talk right now. The translator covers the language.

• Travelling

  Foreign city, foreign language. People on the spot know where it is worth going, and the translator is built in.

• Going together

  A concert, a match, a march, a run. Find people with the same plan before it starts.

• I need a hand

  A charger, a lift, someone who knows the way. Asking costs one line.

• I can help

  You have time, a tool, an answer. Say so, and whoever needs it finds you.

• What is going on here?

  Sirens, a jam, a queue at the door. People standing right there tell you.

• Just talk

  Sometimes a conversation with someone who happens to be close is enough. No profile search, no swiping.

What stays yours

• No number

  No phone number, no contact list, nobody you have to add first.

• Four hours

  One line makes you visible for four hours — update it and the four hours start again, or stop it at once.

• No archive

  A chat dissolves 24 hours after the last message. On both sides, completely. There is no archive. A group dissolves 7 days after the last message or join.

• A rough point

  Nobody sees your exact position: others see a rough point, at least 300 metres coarse and the same for everyone, so it cannot be narrowed down.

More, once you are here

• Visits

  Pick a busy place anywhere on Earth and talk there as a guest for the rest of your session. Not your language? One tap translates, on Flukto's own server.

• Notes

  Leave a note in the cell you are standing in, for an hour or up to a week.

• Groups

  Open a group with people you have talked to.
