Human Connection, Not Digital Clutter DinkLink is a local social presence app designed to help people connect in real life without accounts, inboxes, followers, or endless scrolling.

DinkLink is intentionally simple: • No account required • No messaging • No GPS/location tracking • No contacts upload • No social feed • No follower counts • No server-based profile storage It is designed for real places: cafés, pubs, events, campuses, clubs, conferences, meetups, festivals, community gatherings, and anywhere people may want a low-pressure way to notice one another nearby.

It creates a temporary local view of nearby users who have chosen to be visible. Your micro-profile is not uploaded to a server, stored in the cloud, sold, or used for advertising.

About

Pinggg App

Read full description

Pinggg is a proximity-first way to meet the people who are actually around you. Instead of searching usernames or trading phone numbers, Pinggg finds the people physically near you over Bluetooth — or lets you confirm the exact person with an in-person QR when a room is crowded. A chat opens only when you BOTH accept. After that first real-world unlock, the conversation continues anywhere. No phone number. No username. No searchable ID. You can't be found or added by anyone remotely. HOW IT WORKS 1. Discover nearby — see who's around you on the Bluetooth radar, ranked by distance. 2. Connect by consent — send a Pinggg and you both accept, or scan an in-person QR. 3. Stay close anywhere — text, photos, voice notes, live location and navigation. WHAT'S INSIDE - Bluetooth Nearby radar and the signature Pinggg nudge - In-person QR connect for crowded rooms - Rich chat: text, photos, short videos, voice notes, location pins - Live map and full-screen in-app navigation to accepted friends - Follow & convoys — trusted groups that move together, with falls-behind alerts - Events — unlock a room with organizer, staff and participant roles - AI Rendezvous — a confidence-weighted meeting point for the group, explained - Precision Graph — shows location confidence honestly, never fakes precision PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your Pinggg ID is private and not searchable. Connections require mutual consent — no one can add you. Location is off by default and fully opt-in. Block and report are built in, and you can delete your account and all your data from inside the app. Pinggg is built and owned by SunXperience. iPhone · iOS 16+
