About 100 Foot Chat

100 Foot Chat is a hyperlocal, real-time chat platform that connects you with the people physically around you. Whether you're at a coffee shop, a park, a university campus, or a concert venue, 100 Foot Chat automatically drops you into the conversation happening right where you're standing — no searching, no friending, no following required.

The app uses your device's GPS to pinpoint your location and places you inside the nearest chat "spot" — a geographic circle where nearby users can exchange messages in real time. Every message you see was sent by someone within roughly 100 feet of you (or a custom radius if you're a Premium member), making every conversation genuinely local and spontaneous.

Who is 100 Foot Chat for? It's for anyone who wants a more grounded, present-tense social experience. Students connecting on campus, regulars chatting at their favorite bar, travelers meeting locals, neighbors getting to know each other, event-goers sharing the moment in real time — 100 Foot Chat is built for the people who are there.

Who builds it? 100 Foot Chat is an independent project built by a small team passionate about community, free expression, and the idea that the most interesting conversations are the ones happening right next to you. We believe in the First Amendment, open dialogue, and giving people simple tools to connect face-to-face (or screen-to-screen) with their neighbors.

Premium members enjoy an ad-free experience, the ability to share photos in chat, and a customizable chat radius of up to 1,000 feet — all for just $0.99/month.
