8hues in Salt Lake City, UT
8hues is a map-based social community for adult (18+) gay men — in Salt Lake City and everywhere else. Open the map, set where you are, and see who is around: message them, start a group, or start a video room. No card, no trial, no paywall.
Privacy is a setting you control, and how you present yourself is your own. The map is a tool; what people do with it is theirs.
Open the Salt Lake City mapHow it works here
The map centres on Salt Lake City at 40.7608, -111.8910. 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 Salt Lake City 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.
