How it works
Three taps. That is the whole thing.
Open the app, see what is active nearby, walk in. The hardest part is choosing a tipi.
Walk in. Say something.
Tap a pin to enter. Chat while the moment is still happening. DM later if you click.
It closes itself. You move on.
Every tipi has a clock. When it closes, the room and its messages disappear.
Right now
Something is happening around you.
Open Tipi and the map turns nearby moments into rooms you can join.
"after a stand-up show, keep the exit-line conversation in one temporary room."
"talk while it matters, then let the room close without becoming another feed."
"join the nearby conversation without building a public profile first."
Privacy promise
Nothing stays. Not even you.
Tipi is designed around short-lived rooms, approximate location, and fewer identity hooks. Privacy is not a footer chip; it is the product.
Read the plain-language privacy summary- No public profile. Join the room, not a permanent social graph.
- Every room expires. One hour, four hours, overnight, then it is gone.
- Location is approximate. Tipi works nearby without publishing your street.
- No ad feed. Rooms sort by distance and activity, not engagement bait.
Honest FAQ
Yes, we read the comments.
Is this for hookups?
It is for whatever is happening nearby. People meet, people do not, people argue about pizza.
Can anyone see my messages?
Only people in the same room. The room expires, then the conversation stops being readable.
Is this just Snapchat?
No. Snapchat is between people you know. Tipi is between people who happen to be in the same place.
Can I lurk?
Yes. Open a tipi, read, leave, never come back. That is a feature.
Where is the algorithm?
Rooms sort by distance and how active they are right now. No "for you" feed.
13+? Really?
13+ with safety rules, moderation, and a dedicated Child Safety policy.
