About

Gully

Features
Read full description

Gully shows you what is happening right where you are. Open it and you see posts from people around you — not a global feed, not last week. Your street, your neighbourhood, today. The things worth knowing usually happen within a few minutes' walk. WHAT IS NEAR YOU Every post tells you how far away it is. A lost dog two streets over, a power cut on your block, a stall that just opened at the corner — the local detail a citywide app buries. SET YOUR RADIUS Decide how far you want to see, and how far your own posts travel. Tighten it to your block or widen it across the city, and change it whenever you like. CHANNELS Join channels for the things you follow — your building, a market, a school run, a local cause. Some are open to anyone, some are invite-only. You see a channel's posts from the day you join, never the history that came before. KEYWORDS Tell Gully what you want more of and what you never want to see. Keywords you add pull matching posts in. Keywords you mute keep them out. PHOTOS, VIDEO AND VOICE Post a picture of the thing you are describing, a short video, or a voice note for when typing is too slow. PRIVACY YOU CONTROL Post without your name or your photo. Blur where you were. Block anyone, report anything, and leave a channel whenever you want. IN YOUR LANGUAGE English, हिन्दी, मराठी, বাংলা, தமிழ் and తెలుగు — with distances in miles or kilometres, matched to where you are. Gully is free. Download it and find out what your neighbours are talking about.
