About Us

We started FlareChat because we felt something was missing.

Technology has given us endless ways to scroll, swipe, and follow, but not enough ways to actually be together with the people who matter most.

We wanted something different. Something that wasn’t about likes, views, or algorithms. Something that helped us step away from the feed and back into real life.

That’s why we built FlareChat: a simple way to shoot up a flare, see who’s around, and meet up—whether it’s grabbing coffee, hitting the gym, or just hanging out.

We’re not trying to build the biggest social network. We’re trying to build the most meaningful one, the one that helps you reconnect, in person, with your friends.

Because at the end of the day, life happens offline.
