Tethxr
Meet people around you in cafés, events, and more
Tethxr helps you discover people around you at cafés, events, universities, offices, coworking spaces, airport, and more. Wherever you are, Tethxr lets you see nearby people who have chosen to be discoverable. Send a request, start a conversation through the app, find shared interests, and take it into the real world. Your privacy comes first—you decide when you're visible, and what is visible. No endless scrolling. More real conversations. Simply Human.
Tethxr started from a frustration I kept running into.
I'd attend conferences, cafés, hackathons, airports, run clubs, even my own office and be surrounded by interesting people. Obviously, we were all looking at our phones, but none of us knew who the others were.
Social media could connect me with someone thousands of kilometers away, yet it couldn't help me discover the person sitting two tables away who shared the same interests.
That felt backwards.
So I started building Tethxr.
The idea
The idea is simple:
Help people discover and connect with others who are physically nearby.
But only when they want to.
Privacy comes first
Privacy was one of the biggest challenges.
I never wanted an app that continuously tracked people or showed their exact location.
Instead, Tethxr only works when you intentionally make yourself discoverable.
It doesn't reveal where you are on a map.
It doesn't follow you around.
It simply lets people in the same place know that you're open to connecting.
The hardest part
Building that experience turned out to be far more difficult than the idea itself.
Over the past year, I've:
Rewritten large parts of the backend multiple times.
Redesigned the product countless times.
Experimented with different discovery technologies.
Spent more late nights than I'd like to admit trying to make nearby discovery feel instant without draining battery or compromising privacy.
There were many moments where I wondered if I was solving an impossible problem.
Every solution created a new challenge.
But every time I met someone amazing at an event and thought,
"I wish there had been an easier way to meet them."
I kept going.
