Features
Built for the moments right around you.
Whispyr keeps its feature set deliberately focused: proximity, clarity and an interface that gets out of the way.
Talk
Private conversations, device to device.
- Direct chatsEnd-to-end encrypted one-on-one conversations.
- Voice notes, photos and filesSend what you would in any messenger. Photos have their location and camera metadata removed on your device before they are sent.
- Temp messagesShort-lived messages that disappear, so chats don’t fill up with old context.
- StoriesShare a short update with people you chat with nearby: a headline, a photo, an optional tag. Gone after 24 hours.
- Polls, locations and scheduled messagesAsk a quick question, share where you are, or write now and send later.
Nearby and Spaces
Find people. Gather in one place.
- RadarSee who is around you over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. No phone numbers, no global directory.
- Bump to connectBump phones with someone next to you to connect straight away.
- SpacesLocal hubs for campuses, venues and recurring groups. Join with a short code or a QR code.
- EventsTime-boxed conversations inside a Space. They start, they end, they close.
- Host toolkitCreate Spaces, put a QR code at the door and run Events, all from inside the app.
- Emergency broadcastA message anyone nearby can read, for when it matters. Signed, but deliberately not encrypted.
Privacy controls
You decide what is shared.
- VisibilityChoose Public, Private or Hidden for discovery, and change it any time. Hidden keeps you off other people’s Radar; it is not radio silence.
- Safety numbersCompare a number in person to verify that you are really talking to your contact.
- Auto-Lock and Lock NowKeep Whispyr locked behind Face ID or Touch ID.
- No accountNo phone number and no email. A name you choose, and a photo if you like.
- Block, report and eraseRemove unwanted contacts and content from any chat.
- Backup and restoreExport your profile and chats with a passphrase you choose. Restore on a new device.
- Analytics are off by defaultAnonymous usage statistics are sent only if you turn them on.
Scope
Feature scope.
What Whispyr covers, and where the line is drawn.
| Capability | Scope | Design intent |
|---|---|---|
| Discovery | Bluetooth (up to about 30 m) and local Wi-Fi | Real proximity, not infinite reach |
| Messaging | One-on-one encrypted chats, text and media | Focused conversations |
| Spaces | Communities anchored to a place | Tied to a place, not a permanent feed |
| Events | Time-boxed, attached to a Space | A natural start and end |
| Stories | Short-lived, optional tags | A signal, not a feed |
| Identity | Device-local, no email or phone number | Minimal footprint |
| Data | On-device, user-controlled export | No Whispyr server ever sees it |
