Swave is the fun incognito app. Flirt... Connect… Chat… Anonymously! Whether you’re a celebrity, a high-powered CEO or just some average Joe, there are times when you simply don’t want to share any of your contact info even though you may want to reach them again later. Maybe it's someone you met at a club, or a stranger you’re doing a one-time quick transaction with—whatever the reason, Swave lets you interact with complete anonymity. And when you're done, just delete them. They’ll not only be deleted from your phone, but you’ll vanish from their phone too as if you never connected! Swave uses GPS geofencing with patented technology to create a unique 4-digit Swave code within a one-mile radius of you for initiating the connection. Stay private. Stay in control. Swave them.
