About Local Share
Connecting people nearby through instant, anonymous text sharing
Our Mission
Local Share was created with a simple belief: sharing information with people around you should be instant, private, and effortless.
In a world where sharing a simple piece of text often requires exchanging phone numbers, email addresses, or downloading yet another app, we saw a better way. Local Share uses your device's location to create a private, temporary bulletin board for everyone within about 200 meters of you.
No accounts. No installs. No data collection. Just open the site and start sharing.
How It Works
Geo-Cell Technology:When you visit Local Share, we calculate a "geo-cell" based on your approximate location. This is a small grid square (roughly 200m × 200m) that determines which messages you can see and send.
Privacy by Design: We never store your exact GPS coordinates. The geo-cell is computed locally on your device, and only the cell identifier is used to match you with nearby users.
Auto-Expiry:All messages automatically disappear after 1 hour. This keeps the feed relevant and ensures your shared content doesn't persist forever on the internet.
Anonymous by Default: You can choose any display name you like—no sign-up, no verification. This makes it perfect for quick, casual sharing.
