How it works

Stories, not profiles.

Most apps ask you to summarise yourself into six photos and a prompt, then judge everyone else the same way. Feelr works the other way round: you post what is actually happening, and so does everyone near you.

Post what’s actually happening

A story on Feelr is one photograph and a few words. It can be a Story — what you’re doing right now. A Feeling — what’s actually going on. Or a Moment — the one that deserves a photo. Same format, different intent, and the app colours each one differently so you can read the room at a glance.

There is no profile grid to maintain, no bio to agonise over, no archive building up behind you. What you post is what that day was.

See only what’s close

Feelr shows you stories from people near enough that meeting them is a realistic idea, not a logistics problem. Distance is shown in plain terms — 400 m Away, 2.4 km Away — and you control whether yours is visible at all.

Reply, and the chat opens

There is no matching step. If a story is interesting, you reply to it. That reply lands with the person who posted it as a request, and the moment they answer, the chat is open. No mutual-swipe gate, no waiting to find out whether you were selected.

If they don’t want to answer, they decline and nothing happens. You are not notified, and neither of you has to perform a rejection.

Everything expires

Stories live twenty-four hours. Conversations that go quiet fade into a separate, calmer place where either person can nudge them back — or leave them there. Feelr is built on the idea that most connections are meant to be brief, and that a graceful ending is a feature rather than a failure.

What Feelr is not

  • Not a swiping app. There is no deck of faces to judge.
  • Not a social network. There is no follower count and no feed history.
  • Not a permanent record. Nothing you post outlives the day.
