The world, live on a map
Mistify is social discovery with zero algorithm in the way. Every post lands on a real place — so you can see what's happening on any street, beach or stage on Earth, and meet the people around you.
free · live on both stores
the problem
The social world around you is invisible
An algorithm can show you a stranger a thousand miles away — but not the person you pass every day. Not the gig around the corner. Not your own city's stars.
So we built the world's digital social space on location — not an algorithm's guess at your interests.
the mechanic
Every place gets a social layer
Tap the balloon
Every balloon pin is a post tied to a real place. Tap it and you're there — a street corner, a beach, a mountain, a venue.
On the map for 24 hours
An Individual Post is on the map for 24 hours, then leaves the map. It stays in The World and Following feeds, and on the creator's profile and footprint map, until they delete it. The map always shows now.
Explore anywhere
Pinch out to Positano, Marrakesh or Tokyo and see what's happening right now — not just around you, anywhere on Earth.
Post from where you are
Pin an Individual Post anywhere within 25 km of your real location. Real places, real presence — that's what keeps the map honest.
the tour
One app. Five superpowers.
Everything in Mistify points the same way: at the world around you.
01 — map
The map is the forefront
Open Mistify and you're looking at the world, alive. Not a feed chosen for you — the actual planet, covered in balloons.
- See what's happening anywhere
- Any crowd, any density — millions of posts, managed
- Clusters fan open with a tap
02 — story
24 hours on the map, pinned to the planet
Drop an Individual Post on the map, free, anywhere within 25 km of where you actually are. For a day, your moment is part of that place.
- Free to post, always
- On the map for 24 hours
- Then stays in The World & Following feeds and on your profile & footprint map until you delete it

03 — feed
A feed that starts at a place
Type “Positano” and scroll outward from its beaches. Geo-targeted posting means the endless scroll finally has an address.
- Search any place on Earth
- Posts expand outward from that point
- Endless scrolling, supported

Discovery that turns into real plans
Open a story, tap Message, start talking. Connections on Mistify come from discovery — a place you both love — not a random swipe.
That person you passed today
…but couldn't say hi to. Now you can.
The old friend nearby
Back in town, just around the corner, and you had no idea.
Someone up for the same plan
Coffee, a gig, a hike — connect from their story and go.

Location-first. On your terms.
No background tracking
Mistify uses your location only while the app is open — to show what's around you and to place your Individual Posts. Your live location is never shown to anyone.
You choose the spot
Pin an Individual Post anywhere within 25 km of where you actually are. Your balloon lands exactly where you drop it, so pick a place you're happy to share — not your doorstep.
Still authentically local
The 25 km rule keeps the map honest: you're really in the city you claim to be.
why mistify wins
For them, the map is a feature.
For us, it's the foundation.
Snap Map
A heatmap bolted onto a messaging app — blobs of activity, not the things themselves.
Instagram Map
A side feature for sharing with people who already follow you. The scroll is still the point.
Mistify
Every feature points at one thing: the map. Posts live on places, feeds target places, chats start from places.
A foundation is chosen once, at the very beginning. Ours is the map — the one decision they can't go back and make. 🗺️
Right now, somewhere near you, something's happening.
Better go see. 🎈
