Your campus, always in reach.
Hops is an offline-first safety and social app for campus — it works entirely over Bluetooth, so it keeps working exactly when Wi-Fi and signal don't.
Hops is an offline-first safety and social app for campus — it works entirely over Bluetooth, so it keeps working exactly when Wi-Fi and signal don't.
Every core feature runs peer-to-peer over Bluetooth — no cell service, no campus Wi-Fi, and no central server reading your messages.
Alerts everyone with Hops open nearby, and relays through their phones to reach further than your Bluetooth alone. Triggered from your phone’s quick-settings tile, so you don’t have to unlock and open the app first.
See who's nearby, send friend requests, and chat directly — device to device, never through a server.
Let a friend keep an eye on your distance from them in real time — handy for a late walk home.
Official broadcasts from campus admins reach every nearby Hopper instantly, verified and signed.
Two built-in mini-games — earn carrots as you play, and spend them on exclusive looks in the Hops Shop.
Your phone broadcasts a code that changes every 15 minutes instead of your name, so a passing scanner can’t follow you around campus. Messages, tasks and alerts stay on your phone — there’s no server holding them.
Free to download. Sign-up takes a moment and needs a connection once; after that, everything that matters works with no signal at all.
