What if making friends
was just... easy again?

Avilo shows you who's nearby and ready to hang out. No awkwardness. No planning. Just show up.

How it works

Four steps.
Zero awkwardness.

No algorithms, no swiping, no performance. Just real people who actually want to hang out.

🗺️
Step 01
See who's around
Open the app and see people nearby who want to hang out. Real people, real distance, right now.
Step 02
Find your vibe
Filter by activity — coffee, lunch, study session, whatever. Find someone who wants the same thing.
💬
Step 03
Say hey
Send a quick message. No pressure, no weird openers. Just "hey, still down for that coffee?"
🤝
Step 04
Meet up
Actually hang out. In real life. Revolutionary, right? Both verify it happened and build your rep.
Why it's different

Built for connection,
not engagement

We removed everything that makes other apps addictive. No notifications dragging you back. No infinite scroll.

📍
Location-based discovery
See who's within walking distance. Not people from across the city who'll cancel — people who are actually nearby, right now.
🚫
No followers, no likes
This isn't social media. It's social. No follower counts, no likes, no audience to perform for. Just actual humans.
💬
Peer-built profiles
Your friends describe you. Way more authentic than writing your own bio — the people you've met vouch for who you actually are.
IRL verification
Profiles get marked "met IRL" when you've actually hung out. Your reputation is built on real encounters, not internet points.

Built for safety

Meeting strangers IRL.
We take that seriously.

Every layer of Avilo is designed so you can show up with confidence.

📱
Phone verified

Every account is tied to a real phone number. No fake personas, no bots.

🤳
Selfie-confirmed meetups

Both people take a selfie to confirm a meetup happened. No faking it.

📍
Fuzzy location only

We never show your exact GPS. Your position is blurred to a ~200m radius.

🚫
One-tap block & report

See something wrong? Block or report anyone instantly, no questions asked.

How to join
The First 50

We're building Avilo live on TikTok. The First 50 are the people who show up, support the stream, and get their name on this wall forever.

1

Follow us on TikTok

Find us at @avaloapp — we go live regularly, building Avilo in real time and talking about the loneliness epidemic.

2

Join a live stream

We go live most days. Come hang, watch us build, ask questions, and be part of the community from day one.

3

Donate the equivalent of $25

During the live, donate the equivalent of $25. That's it. Your name goes on the wall — permanently. First 50 only, no exceptions.

Your name lives here forever

We add you to the founding supporters grid on this page. When Avilo launches, you'll also get early access and a special founding member badge in the app.

Only 50 spots total. Once they're gone, they're gone.
