## What is Near Chat | Privacy?

NearChat is a private, offline-first chat app that works entirely over your local Wi-Fi network. No internet, no cellular, no accounts, no servers — just instant messaging between devices that share the same network.

Whether you’re on a plane’s Wi-Fi, in a remote cabin, at a conference, in a classroom, on a cruise ship, or simply somewhere with no signal — if two devices can see each other on the LAN, they can chat.

KEY FEATURES • Pure LAN chat — messages travel directly between devices, never through the internet • No sign-up, no phone number, no email — just open the app and start chatting • Automatic discovery of nearby users on the same Wi-Fi • Group conversations with everyone on the network • Share photos, files, and links instantly • Beautiful, modern SwiftUI-quality interface • Full support for Arabic, English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, and Portuguese • Dark mode and Dynamic Type support

WHY NEARCHAT • Privacy by design — your conversations never touch a third-party server • Works completely offline once connected to a local network • No tracking, no ads in your chats, no data collection • Perfect for events, travel, schools, offices, and emergencies

USE CASES • Hotels, airports, and airplanes with shared Wi-Fi • Schools and universities for class discussions • Offices and co-working spaces • Remote locations, ships, and rural areas • Festivals, conferences, and meetups • Family use at home without giving kids internet access

NearChat is built for moments when you need to talk to the people right next to you — without depending on the cloud.
