Store description excerpt
Velm is a hyperlocal group chat app for the strangers within 100 meters of you. Walk into a coffee shop, a stadium, a transit hub, a neighborhood block — you'll see who's chatting nearby, and you can join in. WHY VELM IS DIFFERENT Every group only exists within a 100-meter circle. Walk away, and the group quietly fades for you. Everyone in a group sees you as a temporary identity — a random emoji animal name like "Blue Dolphin" or "Quiet Fox". Your real name, photo, and bio are completely hidden by default. When you click with someone and want to keep talking beyond the moment, both of you can choose to exchange your real "main identity". After two-way consent, you both see each other's real card in that group. Anyone else still sees the temporary identity. You can revoke the exchange anytime — silently, no notification — and the other side will simply stop seeing your real card. WHAT'S INSIDE · Hyperlocal discovery: see active groups in 100 m · Anonymous by default, anonymous always for everyone you haven't exchanged with · Mutual main-identity exchange — opt-in, two-way consent, revokable · No long-term group history accumulates — every group is local and temporary · Lightweight identity: profile is a curated emoji avatar + short bio + up to 5 interest tags · Real-time chat with reactions and quick presence PRIVACY FIRST · Precise location is used only to find groups within 100 m of you. We never sell it, and never share it with third parties. · Default identity in any group is temporary and random — your account name is hidden. · Phone numbers, emails, and contact lists are never shared inside groups. · Strong server-side privacy contracts: when you revoke an identity exchange, every server interface stops carrying your main identity, immediately. WHO VELM IS FOR · People who want to meet the neighbors / strangers in their immediate world · Travelers, students, festival-goers, fans at a stadium, regulars at a co-working space · Anyone curious about the conversations happening in their 100 meters that they've never heard
