How it works here

The map centres on Frankfort at 38.2009, -84.8733. You'll see who else is nearby, you can message them, and you can start a video call without installing anything — 8hues runs in the browser.

Travelling to Frankfort rather than living here? Changing your location is free on 8hues and always will be. Type the city into travel mode and the map moves with you. It isn't a paid feature and it isn't rationed.

Your location stays yours

Nobody is ever shown your exact position. 8hues places you at a random point inside a circle you control — anywhere from 250 feet to 13 miles wide — and that point stays put while you do, so no one can watch it drift and work out where you really are. Your own map shows your true position; theirs never does.

You can also browse invisibly, block anyone, and control who sees you. The full detail is in the privacy policy.

What it costs

Nothing. There is no payment processor connected to 8hues and no card details are collected. Messaging, video rooms, reading receipts, incognito browsing and changing your location are all simply on.
