Why HotPing exists

Meet people where you already are

The person you'd click with might be at the same coffee shop, gym or concert right now. HotPing helps you find out, without walking up to a stranger cold.

Only when you both like each other

Nobody can message you or get a nearby alert unless you both swiped up. No cold messages, no pressure.

Close, but never exact

HotPing only ever shows a rough distance. Your exact location is never shown to anyone, and you can block or report at any time.

How it works

Four simple steps

All of this happens in the HotPing app at hotping.us. One account does everything, including the tools on this site.

1

Make your profile

Sign up free at hotping.us, add a few photos, and write a bio. Our Profile Builder can help you write it.

2

Swipe up on people nearby

Swipe up to like, down to pass. Everyone you see is near you right now.

3

Get pinged when you match

If you both swiped up, you're a match. HotPing pings you when your match is close by.

4

Chat, video, then meet

Message your match, send a photo, or start a private video chat in the app before meeting somewhere public.

No app store. No download.

The simplest way to meet people nearby

HotPing isn't tied to Apple, Google or anybody's app store. It runs right in your web browser, so there's nothing to download, nothing to pay for, and no app-store sign-up. Open hotping.us and you're in. Get online instantly and have fun.

⚡

Online in seconds

Go to hotping.us, make a profile, and start seeing people near you. No store, no download, no waiting.

📱

Works like an app

Add HotPing to your home screen in two taps. It gets its own icon and opens full screen, just like any other app.

🔔

You still get alerts

Turn on alerts once, and HotPing lets you know about new matches, messages and video calls, same as an app would.

💻

Any phone or computer

iPhone, Android, laptop or desktop: it's the same HotPing everywhere, with the same account.

💸

Free, no strings

No app purchase and no subscription to sign up. Just open it and go.

🔒

Less tracking

No app sitting on your phone in the background. HotPing only uses your location while it's open, and never shows your exact spot.

Keep HotPing open. See who's around.
