Jiveocity is a location-based social app for meeting people at real places near you. Discover nearby restaurants, cafes, bars, parks, and venues using your phone's GPS. Tap Enter Location when you arrive somewhere, and instantly see who else is there right now. Send a message, join the group chat for that venue, or just browse the vibe. KEY FEATURES - Real-time presence — see who's actually at a place right now, not who used to be there - Group chats per venue — drop into the conversation already happening at the cafe, bar, or park you're at - Direct messaging — connect 1-on-1 when something clicks - Favorites — save the spots you love and bookmark new ones to try - Privacy controls — go incognito, leave a place anytime, and block or report anyone WHO IT'S FOR - People new to a city, looking to meet locals at the spots they already frequent - Remote workers spending the day at a cafe who may want to discover new locations - People who want to connect with their neighborhood — regulars at the same coffee shop, gym, bar, or park Jiveocity is built around the idea that the best connections happen at real places, with real people, in real time. Open the app, see who's already where you are, and say hi.

FriendToo is the only social media app where you’re not allowed to post about yourself. Let your friends tell your story. Rather than trying to tell others who you are, tell others who your friends are. Create a post and send a post request to your friends! Once that post request is approved, the post is published on your friend’s account. With no public accounts, you are only seeing what you want to see. If you’re not friends with someone, you are not seeing their posts. It’s not about influencers or celebrities, this app is for you and those you care about. We hope that you enjoy FriendToo. As we have no external funding, this app runs native ads to afford the costs of maintenance and servers. We hope that you understand.
