About this app

Mile Chat lets you start or join spontaneous conversations based on your real-world location. A chat begins with a 1-mile radius so nearby people can see and join. As more people enter, the radius expands naturally — and when everyone leaves the area, the room auto-closes. It’s the pulse of where you are right now.

Chats are tied to places — parks, campuses, cafés, neighborhoods, events.
Radius grows with activity; rooms fade when the moment ends.
Join with a screen name; recover it with a simple 3-word passphrase.
