Picpace

Picpace is a mobile app designed to help people meet others who are online nearby, whether they are looking to date, exercise, network, explore cultural activities, or simply chat. Users create a profile, choose a reason for connecting, and send a Live Connect request that makes their intentions clear. The app focuses on real-time, local connections, showing nearby people who are currently active rather than potential contacts at an unspecified time.

Once both people accept a request, they can begin chatting without exchanging private contact details. Picpace also offers optional anonymous voice and video calls, along with a time limit for accepting each connection. Users can choose among three visibility strategies and control when and how they appear in the app. Picpace says it does not access a user’s location in the background, including when the app is closed. Available for Android and iOS, the service supports a range of social and practical purposes, from finding a hiking partner or exhibition companion to expanding a local professional network.
