Aglow is a proximity-based social app sparking real-world connection through local, interest-driven video sharing. In a social media world dominated by doom-scrolling and influencers, we’re betting on community over clout: 1. Post before you watch 2. See your neighbors' content 3. Message, maybe even meet 4. Repeat No followers. No likes. Just unfiltered video and shared life with your surrounding community. This app is for you if: • You want to find fellow surfers, runners, or pickleball players nearby • You’re traveling and want to see what locals are up to • You made too much sourdough and want to give it away If you are desiring more social and less media, we built this for you.
