A friendlier kind of social.

Everyone here is open to meeting someone new. That's the whole point of the app.

Support

Sometimes you just want someone who gets it. Say what you're looking for and find people after the same.

Community

Find people who share your interests, speak your language, and live close enough to actually meet.

Every Connection is mutual.

Nobody can message you cold. Chat opens only after you both Like each other.

Friends · Community · Support

Friendship deserves its own app.

HeyU is where you look for new friends, community, or a bit of support. Browse at your own pace, connect on a mutual Like, and take it from there.

Safe by design.

Every photo is reviewed before anyone else sees it. Reporting someone always blocks them.

Decide when you're ready.

Scroll past without choosing. Profiles come back around.

How it works

Browse the feed

/2

Like, Save or Pass

Like the ones you click with, Save the maybes for later, Pass on the rest. Changed your mind? Rewind.

/3

It's a Connection

When two people Like each other, you make a Connection. The start of something, on equal footing.

/04 Saved, history & likes
Saves

Keep the maybes.

Save a profile now and decide later. It waits in Saved Profiles until you're ready.

Plus & Unlimited

See who likes you.

Profile Likes shows everyone who already Liked you. Like back and it's a Connection.

Unlimited

Change any decision.

Feed History keeps every Like, Save and Pass. Go back and change your mind.

Saves & Rewinds.

Spend a Save to keep a maybe, a Rewind to go back.

Never lose a maybe.

The good ones don't slip away.
Safety & privacy

Built to feel safe by default.

Trust isn't a feature you add later. It's wired through HeyU, from the photos people see to the data we collect.

Reviewed photos

Every profile photo is checked automatically before anyone else can see it.

Report & block

Reporting someone blocks them on the spot. Blocks are mutual and final.

Hide when you want

Go invisible from the feed any time. You stay in control of who can find you.

Coarse location

Others see distance or a rough area, never your exact spot. Map precision caps at ~10 km.

Privacy you opt into

Analytics and crash reports stay off until you choose to share them. Neither includes your messages.

Your data, your call
