HelloStop swiping.
Start saying hello.
Check in wherever you are — a cafe, a bar, a bookstore. See who's around and open to meeting. Hello breaks the ice; you take it from there.
Three moves. That's it.
Check in
Arrive somewhere, take a fresh photo, set your vibe — open to hellos, just social, or busy. Your photo expires in 24 hours, always.
See who's open
The map shows where people are. Check in at a spot to see who's there — first names and fresh photos only, and only while you're both actually there.
Say hello
Send a real icebreaker — no "hey" allowed, and we'll help you draft one. If they say hello back, walk over. You're twenty feet apart.
Built on consent, front to back
Nobody browses you from afar
Your profile is only visible to people checked in at the same place, at the same time. The map shows counts, never people.
Hellos reach only the open
Set your vibe to "busy" and no one can message you. Approachability is opt-in, changeable any second.
Photos are fresh and temporary
Every check-in photo is reviewed before anyone sees it, and it expires within 24 hours. No permanent gallery of your nights out.
Leaving means leaving
Check out (or just let it expire) and your presence vanishes instantly. Block anyone, from anywhere, forever.
Run a place people love?
Hello sends people out — to cafes, bars, and rooms with good energy. Venue partners get foot-traffic analytics, a claimed profile, and promotions that give people one more reason to pick your spot. Free while we grow.
