Ether is a geographic chat. The world is divided into nested channels, and you automatically
enter the ones where you are: from your neighborhood to the entire world.
HOW IT WORKS
Ether determines your location and selects a chain of channels:
• Block — the most local: neighbors, yard, nearby streets
• District — what's happening nearby
• City — the general city channel
• Region and Country — the broadest coverage
• Planet — one channel for the entire world
All channels are available immediately, and you can switch between them with a single tap —
or with commands, like in old chats: /say, /local, /city, /country, /world.
WHAT'S INSIDE
• A feed of all your channels with a location mark for each message
• New message notifications
• Login with Apple, Google, or Telegram — no passwords or SMS required
• Dark theme, no extras
ABOUT PRIVACY
Your exact coordinates are not stored on the server: they are only used to
determine which administrative districts your location corresponds to. Messages
are stored for 7 days and are deleted automatically. You can delete your account directly in
the app, along with all your messages.
RULES
A broadcast is a conversation with real people nearby. Advertising, spam, insults, and
illegal content are prohibited. You can report any message; complaints
are investigated, and violators are removed.
District and city boundaries are taken from OpenStreetMap, an open data
maintained by the community.
