The details

No network needed

It works phone to phone. Your bubble actually sounds best without Wi-Fi.

Instant, not a phone call

No dialing, links or accounts. Tap someone nearby; they tap Join.

Built for noise

Voice isolation and echo cancelling, and it turns your own voice down in your friends’ mics.

Private by design

Your voice goes only to your bubble, straight between phones. Nothing is recorded.
