Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

BlackTree Software presents Ahoy, an Android proximity app that helps people discover one another over Bluetooth and open encrypted chats without GPS, accounts, or a conversation server.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-17 issue.

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.
