How teater works

🕵

Anonymous by Default

No sign-up. No profile. You get a random color and shape. Nobody knows who you are unless you choose to reveal it. No ads. No algo.

🔞

Teater is for adults.

No minors allowed. Seriously. Don't ruin a good thing. Report a message that credibly suggests it came from a minor, and a human will review.

📍

Hyperlocal

Chat with people on your block, in your neighborhood, or across your city. You choose the radius.

🍃

Tea Leaves

Earn tea leaves by actively chatting, or buy them if you must. You will need them to tap teapots anywhere in the world.

Magic Teacups

Use tea leaves to listen in on the tea anywhere in the world. Tap your home teapot wherever you go. Never miss a drop from home.

🌐

Live Translation

Tap a Magic Teacup anywhere in the world, and messages are automatically translated into your language. Powered by Apple's on-device translation instead of the cloud.

💨

Disappearing

Public messages vanish after 4 hours of inactivity. Gone from the app, gone from the feed.

🛡

Community Moderated

Your neighbors keep things civil. Bullies get reported, reviewed, and banned. No huge corporate overlords.

🥄

Teaspoons

Buy a Teaspoon to privately connect with another user. Anonymous, mutual, and as secure as anonymity allows.

📷

Photos & Videos

Share what you see. Send photos and short videos right in the chat. Set them to disappear after 1, 2, or 3 views.

Apple Watch

Check in on the neighborhood from your wrist. Sip mode for a quick read, Flow mode for live updates.

🎭

Privacy by Design

No name, email, or phone number unless you buy a Teaspoon and choose to share it. Whether you're chatting on your block or sipping tea across the world, nobody knows who anyone is.

Get started in seconds

1

Open the app

No account needed. You're instantly assigned a random color and shape as your identity.

2

Allow location

teater uses your location to connect you with people nearby. It's never shared with users.

3

Start talking

That's it. Say what's on your mind. Ask what that noise was. Share the neighborhood tea.

We're just getting started

We want teater to be a global phenomenon and to bring neighbors together to chat again with a bit of extra fun. While we're figuring things out after launch, your teacup might be bigger than a neighborhood. When fewer people are nearby, teater widens the circle so you always have someone to talk to. As more neighbors join, the circle tightens — block by block — until you're chatting with the people right around you.
That's the goal. Help us get there.
