With Spime, only people at the location can capture and share photos and videos.
Spime is a live, location-based social network where people nearby share real photos and videos of breaking news, local events, protests, disasters, travel moments, and everyday life.
Spime is designed to fight misinformation. Photos and videos can ONLY be captured using Spime’s secure in-app camera. Users cannot upload existing photos or videos, preventing recycled media, manipulation, or AI-generated content. Only people physically close to a Spime can contribute.
Every photo and video is automatically geolocated.
Real content. Real people. Real time.
Eyewitness reporting. Citizen Journalism
One platform. Three audiences.

Fight Misinformation
Only people physically present can contribute content. Media must be captured with Spime’s camera — uploads are not allowed.
Every photo and video is automatically geolocated.
Near me. Now or in the Past
From My Zone, you can see what’s happening around you — either right now or in the past.
Just tap a Spime to enter it.

Automated Archives
Spimes you create or follow are automatically archived when they expire — keeping your photos and videos organized exactly as they happened.
