紙鴿是一款藍牙離線通訊 App。 靠近,就能連上。不靠網路,不靠伺服器。 1. 即時聊天 藍牙直連,訊息點對點傳送。 你可以看到對方正在輸入,對方看完會顯示已讀。 長按可以用表情回應,搜尋可以找回任何一句話。 沒有後台,沒有記錄。 2. 接力傳紙條 寫下一段話,交給附近的人,讓它輾轉傳出去。 每一站的路徑即時呈現——訊息像紙鴿一樣,在人群中飛行,直到抵達。 3. 向所有人廣播 不知道找誰?直接向附近所有人說一句話。 問路、找人、喊話——不需要先建立連線。 4. 紙鴿 寫好一則訊息,放進籠子裡等待。 第一個連上你的人,就會收到它——只送一次,然後籠子清空。 無論對方何時出現,你的話都不會消失。 5. SOS 緊急警報 一鍵向所有附近的人廣播緊急求救訊號。 當你需要有人知道你在哪裡,紙鴿還在。 6. 完全離線 不需帳號、不需登入、不需雲端。 沒有伺服器可以被關閉,沒有帳號可以被封鎖。 7. 隱私第一 所有通訊只在裝置之間。關掉 App,一切歸零。 越靠近的人,頭像光暈越亮——除此之外,什麼都不知道。 用戶安全 ・內容過濾:所有訊息送出前自動偵測不當內容 ・檢舉:長按任何訊息即可向開發者檢舉 ・封鎖:一鍵封鎖用戶,訊息立即從畫面消失 ・移除:長按訊息可立即從畫面移除 ・開發者承諾 24 小時內處理所有有效檢舉 適合這些場景 ・演唱會、展覽等訊號壅塞的人潮中 ・地下室、山區、偏遠島嶼等訊號死角 ・停電或基礎設施中斷的緊急時刻 ・任何你不想留下紀錄的對話 紙鴿的心意 「止戈」二字,拆開武字而來。 止,停止;戈,兵器。 真正的武,是讓戰爭不再發生。 紙鴿的名字裡有鴿子,鴿子自古象徵和平。 我們希望它永遠只是一個好玩的通訊工具, 希望你永遠不需要在真正的危機裡打開它。 但如果那一天來了,紙鴿還在。 無伺服器 · 無帳號 · 無追蹤 本 App 僅限 18 歲以上用戶使用。
