Piips – What’s happening near you, right now

Piips is a local-first social app.

Instead of showing you what is popular somewhere else, Piips shows you what is happening around you — here and now. Posts are tied to real places and real times, so what you see is relevant to where you are and when you’re there.

Piips is designed for action, not performance. It helps you find people, events, and activity you can actually take part in, rather than content to scroll past.

How Piips works

• Local by default
Posts are ranked by proximity and recency, not likes or virality. If something appears, it’s because it’s nearby and current.

• Time-bound
Posts don’t live forever. Piips always points toward what’s happening now, not what once performed well.

• Channels for context
Channels let you filter what you see — by interest, group, or purpose — without breaking locality. They’re lenses on the same place, not separate worlds.

• Real people
Identity is real by default. Piips is built for recognising the people you live alongside, not anonymous broadcasting.

• No video, no ads
Piips isn’t social TV. There’s nothing to binge, nothing optimised to keep you hooked, and no advertising incentives shaping what you see.

What Piips is for

Piips works best for things that can actually be done:

• finding events and gatherings
• seeing where people are meeting
• sharing local recommendations
• coordinating informally with groups
• discovering what’s going on nearby

If it can’t be acted on in real life, it probably doesn’t belong on Piips.

What Piips is not

• It’s not a global feed
• It’s not a content platform
• It’s not built around influencers
• It’s not designed to maximise screen time

Piips reduces reach on purpose so that what remains is useful.

Why Piips exists

Most social apps replace real social life with feeds, metrics, and performance. Piips does the opposite: it uses digital tools to make real life more visible and easier to participate in.
