How HaiMey is different
Most apps that use your location are built to know where you are all the time. HaiMey is built around plans that end.
| HaiMey | Live location apps | Event and meetup apps | Group chats | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shows your live location | Never. Only the beacon you drop | Yes, to your circle, often continuously | No | Only if you choose to share |
| Gone when it is over | Yes. Pin, chat and messages are deleted | No. History usually stays | No. Events and groups stay | No. History stays |
| Meet people nearby right now | Yes, in minutes | Mostly people you already know | Usually planned ahead | Depends on the group |
| Ask neighbours for help | Yes. Help beacons send priority alerts | Not built for it | Not built for it | Informal posts |
| Ads or selling your data | No ads. We do not sell data | Varies by app | Varies by app | Varies by app |
A general comparison by type of app. Features and policies vary between products.
Looking for a Zenly alternative?
Zenly closed in February 2023. HaiMey is not a friend tracker. It is the opposite: you meet people nearby without being on a map all the time. If you miss bumping into people, drop a beacon for the next hour instead.
Built so you stay in control
Your live location stays yours
We never show it to anyone. Only the beacon you drop is on the map. Strangers see it rounded to about 150 m, with no names until they join.
Gone when the timer ends
The pin, the group chat and every message are deleted for good.
Private chats expire too
Chats with people you met are deleted after 30 days. They open only after 5 minutes in the same beacon, and the other person must accept.
Report and block in one tap
A word filter catches sexual terms and hard profanity, and we act on reports. Zero tolerance for abuse.
Location checks
Reach is checked against where you really are, so nobody can map people by moving a pin.
Hosted in the EU
Servers in France with OVH. No ads and no selling your data.
18+ only
HaiMey is for adults. Sign in with your email.
Not an emergency service
In an emergency call 112. Meet in public places.

Where does it work?
We are launching first in Chișinău, Moldova, and will open more cities after that.
What happens when a beacon ends?

No. Your live location is never shown to anyone. People only see the beacon you drop.
Is it safe to meet new people?
HaiMey is 18+ only, you can report and block in one tap, and we always suggest meeting in a public place. Trust your instincts.
What is a help beacon?
A beacon that asks for a hand, such as a flat tyre or a jump start. Neighbours who can help get a priority alert.
Is HaiMey an emergency service?
No. In an emergency call 112.
Is HaiMey a Zenly alternative?
Not a like for like one. Zenly was a map of friends that updated all the time and closed in February 2023. HaiMey never shows your live location. You drop a beacon for 10 to 30 minutes and people nearby join.
How is HaiMey different from friend maps and group chats?
Friend maps share where you are continuously, and group chats keep history forever. HaiMey plans are one off: the pin and the chat are deleted when the timer ends.
Where is my data stored?
On servers in the EU, in France with OVH. We show no ads and do not sell data.
