Chat with Any Point of Interest. Chat with Your Destination.
Mafrend is a map-based social network where every location is a conversation. Connect with people, discover local events, and talk to businesses exactly where they are.
Planned Features for Mafrend
Note: The following features are still in development
Place-Based Chat Rooms
Every location on the map functions as a dedicated chat room. Ask about a venue's vibe, check for available tables, or connect with others at the same spot in real-time.
Chat with Nearby Businesses
Interact with businesses as easily as messaging a friend. Inquire about services, process orders, and get instant updates directly through the map interface.
Smart Map Search
Find exactly what you're looking for. Use rich filters by place types and semantic search to discover your own messages and public conversations directly on the map.
Granular Privacy Control
You're in charge of your digital footprint. Choose exactly when and where you share your location data with our precision privacy settings.
A Social Layer on the World
Whether you're exploring your neighborhood or traveling abroad, Mafrend adds a social dimension to your surroundings. Connect with locals or fellow travelers anywhere.
Nostr Protocol Integration
Mafrend integrates the open Nostr protocol. It's like email - a universal standard that lets you communicate across apps. But it's more powerful: you own your identity and followers, so your community and messages stay with you, not a corporation.
Bring the Mafrend Map to Your Website
Mafrend's interactive map is available as an embeddable component for any website or web application. As a Business Feature of the Mafrend platform, the Map Embed enables local businesses, event venues, and partner platforms to surface place-based discovery and direct business communication directly within their own digital presence. No API key is required to get started.
Private Beta Access
I'm currently looking for early adopters to join the private testing phase for Android and iOS. As I'm building this personally, your feedback is invaluable in helping me shape the best experience.
Limited Access Available
