Do you need groceries? Help? Advice? A tool? Someone to talk to? Whatever you need – someone nearby has it. bitte.help connects you. Sometimes you just need someone. Quickly. Without fuss. But who do you ask, when you don't know who can help right here, right now? Somewhere out there, someone has time and wants to help. Someone just waiting to be asked. THREE STEPS FROM ASKING TO GETTING HELP 1. Just ask. What you need. In one sentence. No name, no number. 2. Nearby phones light up. Everyone around you sees your ask – even neighbours whose number you don't have yet. 3. Someone's there. You talk. You text. You help each other. Done. WHY BITTE.HELP You decide who knows you. No number. No name. Your phone number stays hidden until you hand it over yourself. Your location stays yours. We find people near you – but never reveal where you are. Live in the moment. Asks expire after 24 hours and disappear. No archive, no timeline, nothing to read back. bitte.call: Talk to each other. We connect your call – your real numbers stay hidden. Text back. Reply with a message – sometimes one line is all it takes. Your number is shared as you do, so you can reach each other directly. Karma. Do good and show it. Others give you feedback – positive and negative. Collect good karma and show who you are, without revealing your name. SAFE SPACE – OUR COMMUNITY We connect people in real life, built on trust. Asks and messages are checked: what hurts is blocked before it reaches anyone. Reported asks are blocked and taken out of every feed. Anyone who behaves badly is blocked and removed. A NEW WAY TO COMMUNICATE No comments. No followers. Just purpose. Your ask goes out to many. The answers come back to you alone. No debate, no audience – just a conversation between two people. No reach, no likes, nothing to win. YOU ARE NOT THE PRODUCT No profile to maintain. No ads, nobody buys their way into your feed. No trade in your data. bitte.help is not social media – it is a community with one single goal: being there for each other. FOR CLUBS AND ORGANISATIONS Sign your organisation up, recognise each other in the app and address your asks to colleagues and members – without losing sight of everyone beyond your own circle. Free, no account, no profile, no audience, no ads. Started in Aachen. Made for the world. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 3.04 — 2026-09-20 This release brings your organisations into the app. • Address a request to one of your organisations: only its members near you see it. "Everyone" still reaches everyone nearby • Organisations appear as chips on each person, with the addressed one first and filled • Your request now goes out even without a fresh location: the app uses the last known one instead ### 3.03 — 2026-09-17 This release optimizes signing in. • The code from the text message can be tapped above the keyboard again — and it actually lands in the field • Your first request after installing now goes out reliably: the app waits a moment for your location instead of giving up • Conversations open more smoothly • Terms of Use acceptance — new users tick it while registering, existing users see it once after updating. Not in the notes: people will meet it on first launch and it explains itself. Tell me if you'd rather name it. • Word filter on requests and messages, with an inline hint that keeps your text. • Report a request from the flag in its footer. • Block someone from the conversation header — now the flag link you just asked for. • Settings: report a problem, and a link to the terms. • Banned accounts get a clear removal message instead of a generic error. Left out deliberately: it only speaks to people who've been removed. ### 3.01 — 2026-09-10 UI improvements on the new brand. ### 3.0 — 2026-09-07 Proximety is now bitte.help. New name, new brand, new face — and the same idea: one ask, and someone nearby helps. New in this version: • A clearer design throughout the app • A tidier helper list — see at a glance where a new message is waiting • A time on every message • Your request stays visible while you write • A new introduction on first launch ### 2.7 — 2026-09-04 Your number is never shared without asking first — now including the first message you send, since that shares it too. Also in this update: • Unread markers count only the other person's messages, and clear when you leave a chat • Contacts you had already shared stay shared after updating • The same person now shows the same name on the card and in the chat • A request you just posted no longer briefly disappears from your feed • "I want to help" is easier to hit and can't be triggered twice by accident • Longer messages with emoji are no longer rejected • Errors when sharing or rating are shown instead of failing silently • Smoother scrolling in the feed on longer conversations --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
