Field notes
Ahoy describes a Bluetooth-based proximity workflow rather than a location-sharing network: nearby signals remain secret until both sides match, then an encrypted chat can open. The page explicitly excludes GPS, accounts, and a server holding conversations, and identifies the project as software from Greece. Android test builds and a demo are referenced, while a Google Play release is described as being prepared.
