## What is Rome?

Some of the best connections begin in real life.

You notice someone. You share a moment. Maybe you meant to say hello, exchange details, or continue a conversation - but the opportunity passes.

Rome gives you another way to connect.

Built around real-world encounters, Rome helps you reconnect with people you cross paths with without replacing the experience of actually meeting people in person.

CROSS PATHS

Use Discovery Mode when you’re open to connecting. Rome uses Bluetooth proximity to recognise other Rome members nearby, without relying on precise GPS location.

CONNECT AFTER THE MOMENT

See people you’ve crossed paths with and privately express interest in connecting. If the interest is mutual, you can reveal the connection and start a conversation.

WINKS

Sometimes you don’t want to wait until later. Send a short-lived Wink to someone nearby as a simple signal that you’re open to connecting.

EVENTS

Discover events and connect around the places and experiences you already share. Rome can help you reconnect with people from an event even when you didn’t get the chance in the moment.

PRIVACY BY DESIGN

Rome is built around proximity rather than precise location tracking. Your interactions stay private, and expressions of interest aren’t revealed unless there’s mutual interest.

REAL LIFE FIRST

Rome isn’t about replacing real-world interaction with another endless feed.

It’s about encouraging more of it.

A conversation you didn’t start.
Someone you forgot to exchange details with.
A person you met at an event.
A familiar face you keep crossing paths with.

Whatever the reason, sometimes you just need another chance to connect.

Meet in real life. Reconnect with Rome.
