Chime.In is a social network mobile app which launched in March of 2025. The platform is operated and privately owned by Codelux LLC. Unlike most social networks, Chime.In is focused on providing relevant content found by interest, rather than a content-driven algorithm. The platform is designed as a place to facilitate real dialogues with others and let users learn and share with those who have similar interests.

Overview

Chime.In aims to revitalize interest-based online discussions by connecting users to a variety of web-based forums and supporting user-created in-app communities. Its stated goal is to "bring back real connections and conversation via forums," blending external forums with curated in-app dialogue spaces.

Unlike the original Chime.in platform (launched in 2011 by UberMedia and now defunct), the new iteration under Codelux focuses on mobile accessibility and community-driven interactions. Users can browse topic-specific forums, upvote or downvote posts, and participate in comment threads. Future updates aim to introduce features such as private friend groups, content sharing, and more customizable in-app forum creation.

Version 2.0.0 - "The Big Update"

While Chime.In is active and available on both the major app stores, the developers have stated that a significant update of the app is in the works under version 2.0.0. The update will include additional forums and content as well as features such as the ability to create a Chime.In profile, find and follow friends, send direct messages (DMs), and create in-app forums to shore up any missing content or communities.
