Have fun posting your thoughts and photos to a real wall with Augmented Reality sticky notes, and find posts around you! It's the perfect way to keep your memories at the place they were made. And it's free! Why sticky? - Post your thoughts and photos where they matter. - Connect with people who were at the place before you and with those who visit after you. - Plus, see posts attached to places all over the world right from the app. *To ensure your posts attach to your location properly, please allow sticky access to: - your location while you are using the app (so you can see the posts around you and so that your post is attached to your current location not somewhere in the middle of the sea, unless that is where you are!) - the camera (so you can view posts around you and to capture the moment to post to where you are.) - your photos (so you can attach your own photos to where you are.)

About

Collide

You're surrounded by people all the time — but you have no idea who's open to meeting. Collide lets you input the places you normally hang out, then notifies you when someone going there wants to meet up. View a map of where other people have posted they hang out, and join them! Post or join in two ways: • I'm Available — no agenda, just open to hanging out and chatting • I'm Doing Something — post a specific plan (chess, pickleball, a coffee run) and invite others to join Before you meet: See who posted, what they're interested in, and what you have in common. Meet someone great? Add them as a friend. Your privacy, your control: Your location is never shared unless you choose to post. No background tracking. If someone makes you uncomfortable, block them — they won't see you on the map. Romantic advances are a reportable offense. Available on iOS, Android, and web.
