Loothy is a proximity messenger designed for people who already know each other. Share your personal link with nearby friends, colleagues or family and chat directly between devices via Bluetooth and WiFi, no internet or servers required. HOW IT WORKS: Loothy is not a random chat app. To connect, you share your personal link with someone of your choice. The other person accepts and the private chat opens instantly. Messages travel directly between the two devices.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I built Loothy because I was tired of apps that need servers just to send a message to the person sitting next to you. Loothy works over Bluetooth and WiFi Direct. Your messages go straight from device to device. No servers, no accounts, no data collection. If there's no internet, it still works. Perfect for: Festivals, concerts, and crowded events Areas with poor connectivity Anyone who values privacy by default This version is freemium and it's just the beginning. The next version (Loothy 2.0) will turn every iPhone into a mesh node: if you can't reach someone directly, your message hops through other nearby Loothy users, end-to-end encrypted, so no one in the chain can read what you send. The more users, the farther messages travel. No extra hardware, no internet. I built this solo. Would love your honest feedback, especially from anyone who has tried similar apps and hit their limitations. Ask me anything! 🚀

Quick update: Apple rejected the freemium update after 7 days in review. The reason given was that the description "references objectionable content": no specific line, no example. I've updated the metadata and resubmitted today.

If you download now you'll get the paid version. The freemium tier (20 free messages + $1.99 one-time unlock) will be live as soon as it clears review. Everyone who downloads today gets credited automatically, no action needed on your side.

Thanks for your patience. 🙏
