## What is MiNTO Chat Private Nearby Talk?

MiNTO

Social media is too broad.
Messaging apps assume you already know the other person.

But in reality, there are moments when you wish:
“I wish there was someone nearby I could talk to for a bit.”
“I want to leave just a short note about this place.”
“I want to feel the vibe of people in this area.”

MiNTO is an app designed for that kind of “close distance.”

■ “Ping” — Share with people nearby

The core feature of MiNTO is “Ping.”
You can send a short signal to your current location.

It reaches only people nearby,
creating natural opportunities for conversation on the spot.

“I’m around here.”
“This place looks interesting.”
“I’d like to chat a little.”

It’s designed to create light, casual connections.

Not for big meetups or forced interactions,
but for communication that starts from simply being in the same place.

■ Leave notes and tags in space (AR supported)

With MiNTO, you can leave information tied to a location.
Share the atmosphere and how a place feels — beyond what maps can show.

For example:

This bench feels great in the evening
Wi-Fi here is pretty stable
This café is quiet and good for working
This street is a bit dark at night, be careful
This park is calm during the daytime
This spot is a hidden gem for lunch
People here are open to speaking foreign languages
It gets a bit crowded around this time
I had an interesting conversation here before
This is a great photo spot
It’s often windy here
This place has a line, but it moves fast
This area is quiet at night
Good place to think and relax
The morning air feels great here
It’s getting a bit crowded nearby now
This street gets slippery when it rains
Nice place for a casual chat

These small pieces of information turn a location
from just coordinates into a lived experience.

■ Conversations happen because you’re nearby

Same place, same time, same atmosphere.
That naturally lowers the barrier to conversation.

Instead of forcing connections with distant strangers,
you connect loosely as an extension of where you are.

That sense of distance is what MiNTO values.

■ Designed for safety and comfort

Interactions are not overly public,
and connections can start lightly with nearby people.

It’s not about deep engagement right away,
but about creating a point of contact while keeping a comfortable distance.

■ Recommended for

• People who want natural ways to talk with nearby others
• Those who want to leave and share notes about places
• Anyone who enjoys local atmosphere and small discoveries
• People who want to communicate casually in different languages
• Those looking for light, low-pressure connections

MiNTO is not a map, a forum, or just another chat app.

It connects a kind of distance between people and places
that hasn’t really had a name until now.

Being nearby becomes a reason to talk.
Being in the same place becomes a reason to connect.

Experience communication that starts from space with MiNTO.
