Anywhere you go,
you're a local.
Kapota turns proximity into community. Discover people, groups, local businesses, deals and official information around you — wherever you are. Connect across languages and experience the place you're in like a local.
Free to download on iPhone and Android.
Three barriers, one app.
Local connection gets harder when you don't know who's nearby, what's happening or how to communicate. Kapota brings those pieces together around the place you're actually in. Kapota uses your phone's location and Bluetooth to surface what's near you, then organizes local discovery around proximity rather than popularity.
Know what's around you.
People, groups, businesses and local information surface based on where you actually are.
Talk without the language barrier.
Conversations can translate across languages so people can communicate in the language they're comfortable using.
Understand the place you're in.
See what's happening nearby — from community activity and local businesses to information from participating cities and institutions.
Open the app.
Everything's right there.
Locals nearby, sorted by distance.
Discover other Kapota users near you, sorted by distance rather than by an engagement metric. Who you see depends on who is using Kapota nearby and the discoverability settings they have chosen.
Plans happening tonight.
Sunset hikes, language exchanges, pickup basketball, dinner clubs. When people near you form a group, you can join it in a tap — or start your own and invite the people around you.
The city, in your feed.
Pulse is your local feed. Community moments and nearby activity alongside announcements from participating cities and institutions — closures, events, local notices — appearing next to the groups and conversations around you.
The block knows you're here.
Participating local businesses can publish deals and offers to people nearby — an hour of half-price tarts at the bakery, a poetry reading at the bookshop. No review-mining, just what is on near you now.
Every conversation, in your language.
Send in one language and read in another. Kapota helps people communicate across languages in direct and group conversations.
The places locals actually go.
Discover nearby places and local businesses while you are already in the area. See what is around you without relying on a follower count or an engagement feed.
One platform, three sides.
Anywhere you go, you're a local.
Discover people, groups and local activity around you. Connect across languages and experience the place you're in instead of just passing through.
The shop two blocks away — found.
Discover participating local businesses and nearby deals while you're already in the area — giving independent businesses another way to reach people close by.
The city tells you what's happening.
See announcements and important local information from participating cities and institutions, with translation available in-app across 100+ languages.
