The stoop sale, the lost cat, the neighbor with a ladder. Street-level word of mouth from the people within a few blocks of you.
News gets more useful the closer it gets to your door. Tell Peachy how far your neighborhood stretches and the block-level stuff finds you: the free bookshelf on a stoop three streets over, the tabby matching the lost-cat post, the water shutoff heads-up. The truly urgent buzzes your phone the moment it's posted.
Berkeley packs a remarkable number of scenes into a few square miles. Tell Peachy you're looking in Berkeley and posts from people nearby surface for you, whether they're up in the hills, down by the marina, or a few blocks off Shattuck. The rest of the East Bay is one "a little farther" away.
You describe what you’re looking for the way you’d tell a friend, and your Feed shows the posts from your friends, mutuals and communities that match.
“Show me posts from within a mile of home.”
“Buzz me for safety alerts and lost pets near Berkeley.”
“Surface giveaways and stoop sales before they're picked over.”
Sign up with your phone number. Peachy is a chat app: your people, your group chats and your communities.
Your Feed starts as everything, newest first. Turn on a paragraph filter, a few plain words like the examples above, place included, and only matching posts show. Turn it off any time.
Your Feed shows posts from your friends, mutuals and communities: all of them, or only the ones that match your paragraph. Public posts from everyone else stay under Public, and your private chats are never part of it.
