In his words

Four questions for Johannes

Who is behind 4connection?

I am Johannes Weber, born in Tyrol. The idea for 4connection comes from a clear vision: to create something meaningful for our society.

What matters most to you?

Real values. People and their well-being come first, not screen time or profit maximization. I want to build something that lasts.

Why a messenger first?

Because closeness grows out of conversation. Before we bring people together, we build the protected space where contact can turn into trust.

What drives you?

I want to make the world a little better, with an approach that really moves something. For me, 4connection is exactly that opportunity.

Interest matching · planned

Find people
who share your interests.

You choose what you love, from hiking to music to your local club. 4connection suggests people who share exactly that with you. Not based on a superficial impression, but on what connects you.

You choose your interests

From many areas, from sport to culture. For friendship, exchange and shared activities.

Common ground, not chance

Your interests help suggest people you have something in common with.

You decide who finds you

You decide who can find you and when a suggestion becomes a personal contact.

From suggestion to meeting up

Contact details are only meant to be shared once both of you want it. Then you can meet in real life too.

Safety & trust

Safety is not an extra.
It is the foundation.

4connection is designed so that private conversations, young users and personal data are protected from the start.

Private conversations
Your messages are end-to-end encrypted and are stored on the server only in encrypted form.
- From Tyrol, under European data protection law
- With a Find ID you don't have to share your number
Protection for young users
Children, teenagers and adults should only be able to find people in their own age group.
- Parents oversee their children's contacts without seeing any content
- Emergency numbers can be called straight from the app
You stay in control
You decide who can find you and what others see of you.
- Block and report in just a few taps
- Delete your data at any time, confirmed by email
Accessibility considered from the start
Larger text, high contrast, Easy German and English: you can already set them here, top right.
- The app is meant to offer the same
- Plain words instead of jargon

Status during the alpha test. Details may still change before the launch in 2027.
