About Pulse — Meet People Nearby
The people around you are the whole point. Pulse is a map of who's nearby and what's happening around you — right now, within walking distance. No endless feeds from strangers on other continents. Just your city, alive. DISCOVER See people around you on a live map, up to 10 km out. Send a pulse to say you're up for meeting — it expires in 60 seconds, so nothing lingers. MEET UP Join meetups near you or host your own — watch parties, lunches, dance rehearsals, birthdays. Afterwards, the meetup wraps into a shared album and chat. MOMENTS Photos and voice notes pinned to the places they happened. Browse what your neighbourhood posted, drop your own, react with your voice. TRIPS Heading somewhere? See travelers whose dates overlap yours, get a local guide to the city, and meet Locals — people who actually live there and chose to be available. No tours, no fees, just people. IMPRESSIONS After you meet someone, you each leave a private impression — a few kind words about what they were like. The traits that keep coming up become calm badges on their profile. Trust, built from real meetings. CHAT, ENCRYPTED Every conversation is end-to-end encrypted. Voice notes, stickers, photos — between you two only. YOU CONTROL VISIBILITY Go online when you want to be found, invisible when you don't. Pause everything with one tap. Made for Zambia, Southern Africa, and The World. The city is full of people you haven't met yet. Pulse.
