Description
Knocky turns a printed QR code into a web doorbell for homes and apartments. Visitors scan it, share their location, and can ring or start a temporary chat only when they are physically near the address. Owners receive real-time notifications and can reply with text, images, or audio. No app is required for visitors, and precise location data is used only for the proximity check.
