## What is Sky Chat?

SkyChat helps you discover nearby people and chat in real time using Bluetooth and local-network peer-to-peer connections.

Whether you’re traveling, commuting, or just meeting people around you, SkyChat makes it easy to start a conversation without relying on a chat-message server to deliver or store your messages.

Key features:

- Nearby discovery and direct chat with people around you
- Send text messages, photos, and videos
- Create and chat in groups
- Secure peer-to-peer sessions (encrypted connections)
How it works:

- SkyChat uses Bluetooth and local network discovery to find nearby devices.
- Messages are exchanged directly between devices in range.
Accounts & subscription:

- Sign in with Apple or Google to get started.
- An auto-renewable subscription may be required to unlock the full SkyChat experience (billing and management handled by the App Store).
Notes:

- Bluetooth and Local Network access are required for nearby chat.
- Use caution when chatting with people you don’t know—nearby users are not identity-verified.
