ShyText is a location-based messaging app designed to help users initiate real-life conversations without the pressure of speaking out loud. Using Bluetooth and device proximity, the app detects other users within a 10-meter radius and enables discreet, one-time message exchanges.
Key Features:
Proximity-Based Discovery
ShyText automatically detects other active users nearby (within 10 meters), making it ideal for spontaneous communication in public spaces like cafes, events, campuses, and libraries.
Anonymous First Contact
Send a one-time message to any nearby user without needing their contact info, username, or prior connection.
Permission-Based Chat
The recipient can choose to accept or decline the chat. If accepted, both users can continue messaging freely. If declined, the message disappears and no further interaction is possible.
Continued Conversations
Once accepted, the chat remains active even after users move beyond the 10-meter range, allowing conversations to continue without interruption.
Privacy First
No personal profiles are displayed publicly. Users remain anonymous unless they choose to share more during a conversation. All interactions are temporary unless mutually accepted.
Ideal Use Cases:
Making new friends in social environments
Quietly starting conversations in shy or sensitive settings
Casual networking or meeting like-minded people nearby
ShyText is designed to bring people closer—without the awkwardness.
