About this app

Anywhere you go, you're a local.

Kapota turns proximity into community. Land in a new city — meet nearby travelers and residents, join groups for tonight, find local deals, hear what the city is announcing. Every message auto-translates. The confidence barrier is gone.

Built for four kinds of people: travelers and locals who want to connect, businesses who want to reach the block around them, and cities who want to reach their residents.

✦ MEET PEOPLE NEARBY
Bluetooth and GPS — not algorithms — surface the people right around you. The cafe you're sitting in, the park you're walking through, the conference you just landed at. Sorted by meters, not metrics.

✦ JOIN GROUPS FOR TONIGHT
Sunset hikes. Language exchanges. Pickup basketball. Dinner clubs. Real plans being made by people next to you, this week. Show up. Or start your own — Kapota generates a beautiful group invitation card with AI.

✦ TALK ACROSS LANGUAGES
Send a message in English. They read it in Portuguese. They reply in Portuguese. You read it in English. Every conversation, every language, in real time. The biggest reason people don't connect abroad — gone.

✦ THE CITY IN YOUR FEED
Tram closures. Festival schedules. Beach water quality. Emergency alerts. Local cities post directly into your feed — no hunting through municipal websites in a language you don't read.

✦ LOCAL DEALS, NOT ADS
The bakery 80 meters away has tarts at half off for the next hour. The bookshop is hosting a poetry reading tonight. Real businesses on your block — not paid placements from companies five states away.

✦ FOR BUSINESSES — REACH YOUR BLOCK
Kapota gives local merchants a direct line to the people nearby, right now. Post time-limited deals that surface in the feeds of people meters away. Generate marketing flyers with AI in seconds. Understand your customers with segments and reach. No ad auctions, no bidding against chains — just your shop and the street outside it.

✦ FOR CITIES — REACH YOUR RESIDENTS
Municipal accounts let city officials post announcements, emergency alerts, and scheduled updates straight into residents' and visitors' feeds — auto-translated for everyone in town. Tram closures, festival schedules, water quality, safety alerts. Engagement analytics show what reached people. The town square, in everyone's pocket.

✦ THREE BARRIERS, ONE APP
Travel friction usually comes from three places: not knowing the language, not knowing where to go, and the awkwardness of approaching anyone. Kapota collapses all three.

✦ PRIVACY AS ARCHITECTURE
You see distance, not coordinates. Browse incognito when you want to. Block anyone you don't want to see again. Delete your account anytime. We don't sell your data — ever.

✦ TWO LAYERS OF PRESENCE
Bluetooth Low Energy for the room you're in (~10m). GPS for the block you're on (50m with Pro). Two layers of proximity, one feed.

✦ FOUNDING MEMBERS FOR LIFE
The first 100 travelers to join Kapota get every premium feature, free, forever. No upgrade prompts. No expiration. Just a thank-you for being there at the start.

✦ PERMISSIONS
Bluetooth — for short-range proximity discovery
Approximate location — for nearby people, groups, and deals
Notifications — for messages, connection requests, and city alerts
