CIRQL is a live map of your city. Open it and see what is broadcasting near you right now. Tap any pin and watch live, from exactly where it is happening. For communities: A way to bring people watching the stream into the room. Dance schools, run clubs, music collectives, social leagues: broadcast your sessions, schedule recurring nights so members know when to tune in, and let visitors discover you the same way they'd discover a venue: by walking past it. For venues and businesses: Claim your location on the map. Stream from inside on busy nights, post upcoming events as scheduled pins, and let people watching from anywhere see what tonight actually looks like before they decide to come down. The bar fills itself when the bar shows itself. For streamers: One tap to go on air. No setup, no studio, no following to build first. Stream a gig, a class, a kitchen, a dancefloor, a build. The pin shows people where the broadcast is coming from. The audience finds you because of where you are, not because an algorithm decided to surface you. CIRQL is built for life. The map is just where it lives. Currently active across London.

About

Tracea

Features
Read full description

Tracea is a social app built around one simple idea: every thought deserves to be heard by the right person. You leave a trace, a short thought, a question, a take. Someone reads it and writes back, whether they see it your way or not. From there, a real conversation begins. Just the two of you, for 24 hours. No profiles to curate. No follower counts. No endless scrolling. Tracea slows things down on purpose. Each trace appears one at a time, with a timer, in themed spaces called Agoras. You read, you reply, or you skip. Your daily traces are limited. Your hourly replies too. Because when everything is limited, nothing is wasted. Agoras: 12 themed spaces where traces live. Choose which ones you want to explore. Dialogues: One-on-one conversations, 24 hours, then gone. Traces: Short, intentional posts. No media, no noise. Just words. Stigmas: Earn achievements, unlock profile icons. Leave a trace. A reply awaits.
