03

Send a Wave, or just say hello.
interest first
Type what you
want to talk about
Other apps ask you to find someone by name. Brane asks what you want to chat about, then finds them for you.
Search near you, or search the world. From 2 km out to 50 km, or switch to Global.
Narrow it by age. From 18 up to 65 and over.
See what is busy tonight. Trending interests sit above your results.
The bit nobody else can say
Only the interest you matched on is shown
You save up to five. The other four stay private. Be into four things you would rather not lead with, and still be found for the one you would.
explore
See who is nearby on the map
Explore puts people and Crowds on a single map. Tap an avatar to open a profile, tap a Crowd to see what it is about. Locations are approximate by design and sharing them is totally optional.
A Crowd has a name, a place and topics, so the right people find it without an invite link.
Found, not invited. People nearby who care about your topics discover the Crowd on their own.
Public or private. One Join Code turns an open community into an invitation-only one, and back.
Shareable and embeddable. Every Crowd gets its own link, and every Crowd can be independently embedded on any website so others can join, no app required.
Yes, Brane is completely free. We place no limits on who you can message, or how many times. We run no ads. Even embedding a chat on your site is totally free.
Do I need to know someone to message them?
No. No friend requests, and no matches to wait for.
Is Brane a dating app?
No. No swiping and no dating profile fields. It is built around shared interests.
