Bangkok pilot · launching soon
Meet who's here.
HelloHere shows you the people in the same bar as you, right now, for two hours. Live selfies, no filters, no swiping for weeks. Just a hello, and maybe an alcohol-free drink.
How it works
Four steps, one evening
No profile to polish for weeks. You open HelloHere when you are already out.
Scan the venue QR
At a partner bar, rooftop or café, scan the HelloHere code on your table or at the bar. No app store download: it opens in your browser.
Take a live selfie
Camera only. No gallery uploads, no filters. Your phone checks there is one clear face before you go visible.
Be visible for 2 hours
Confirm you are really there, then only people in the same venue who match your preferences can see you. No map, no distance.
Say hello
Send a hello. A conversation opens only if you both accept. You can also offer an alcohol-free drink, paid at the bar.
Our commitments
A first step, at your own pace
Real people, real time
Every activation needs a fresh live selfie. What you see is what walks over to say hi.
Visible only where you are
Your profile shows up inside one venue, for two hours, and then disappears. Nobody sees your location, distance or past venues.
Mutual or nothing
A hello stays a hello until both people accept. If someone passes, the sender is never told.
Alcohol-free by design
The drinks you can offer in the app are mocktails, sodas, juices and coffee. You pay at the bar, the venue keeps 100% during the pilot.
Why HelloHere
The end of ghosting
On apps you first have to like each other's photos, then survive weeks of messages. Too much choice kills choice, and very few chats ever become a real date. With HelloHere, you are already in the same place.
| Typical dating app | HelloHere | |
|---|---|---|
| Choice | Hundreds of profiles, always another one to swipe | Only the people in the room, tonight |
| The match | You both need to like a photo | You can already see each other, in person |
| The chat | Days or weeks of messages, then often silence | A few messages to find each other in the room |
| The date | Rarely set up, often cancelled | It happens right now, or not at all |
| Attention | Concentrated on a small share of very photogenic profiles | Presence, humour, a smile: people meet the whole you |
| Ghosting | Common: people disappear without a word | Nothing to vanish from: the conversation is face to face |

Our story
A tiare flower behind the ear
In Tahiti, a flower tucked behind the ear tells whether your heart is open. That childhood memory of our founder is where HelloHere began.
