geochat — every place gets its own voice
Message boards tied to real-world places.
geochat is a free app that pins a message board to a specific physical spot — a bench, a trailhead, a museum exhibit, a festival zone, a shop. People can read and post only when they are actually there, reached by the place's QR code or the public map.

Online comments are everywhere; a note that only exists at the place it's about is different. It rewards being there, keeps the conversation local and real, and turns ordinary spots into something worth discovering.
What you can do
- Leave a message at a place — anonymous, one tap, no account.
- Open threads — focused conversations, public or password-protected.
- Create your own marker — pick a spot and an icon, print the QR, put it in the world.
- Discover — browse active places on the map and see which ones are alive right now.
For businesses & events
Cafés, museums, venues and festivals can run on-site boards with opening hours, NFC anti-spoof, analytics, webhooks and an API — reviews and chat only from people who were actually there.
Privacy
Posting is anonymous (a stable nickname per device). Location is used only to verify you're on-site and is not stored as a track. EU-hosted; export or erase your data anytime.
FAQ
How do I leave a message at a place?
Open it from the map or scan its QR on-site, pass the location check, then post on the wall or in a thread.
Is it free?
Yes, the service is free. Optional Pro/Business plans add time windows, NFC, unlimited markers and an API.
Do I need an account?
No — boards are tied to your device, not an account. An account only adds a named identity and reputation.
