Circlo is a local-first, proximity-based social app for creating or joining nearby rooms, chatting, and playing lightweight mini-games.
Hi Product Hunt! I’m Burakcan, the developer behind Circlo. 👋
We’ve all been there: at a crowded concert, traveling on a plane, or sitting in a basement cafe where the bars on your phone suddenly disappear. Even though the person you need to talk to is standing right next to you, you're effectively cut off.
The Gap We Solved: Today’s apps are built on the assumption that we are always online. The moment that connection drops, our communication stops. Circlo solves this gap. I built this to ensure that as long as your phone has power, you have a way to communicate. By using peer-to-peer technology, Circlo creates a local "mesh" that doesn't care about cell towers or Wi-Fi routers.
What's inside:
📶 Instant Communication: Text and chat with anyone in your immediate radius—no internet required.
🎮 Shared Experiences: Kill the boredom while off-grid with low-latency multiplayer games.
🛡️ Privacy by Design: Since the data never leaves the local "Circle" and hits a server, your conversations stay truly private.
Our Vision for the Future: This is just the beginning. I am working to make this local connection even more robust and am adding new games recurringly to the library so there is always something new to do when you're "offline."
I’d love to hear your thoughts! Have you ever been in a situation where you wished you had an app like this? Let me know in the comments! ⭕️
