getHum is a private social space for your closest connections. No likes, no followers, no feed to scroll. Just presence—a gentle way to let someone know you're thinking of them. Your Field See the people who matter most as orbs in your personal Field. When they're thinking of you, their glow grows warmer. No notifications to interrupt—just a quiet signal when you check in. Send a Pulse Press and hold to send a Pulse. It's not a message—it's a moment. The other person feels a subtle warmth without knowing exactly when you thought of them. No pressure to respond. Mutual Connections Only HUM is built around mutual relationships. You connect by exchanging Share Keys with people you trust. There's no discovery, no suggestions, no algorithmic matching. Ephemeral by Design Echoes—quick updates you can share when you're present—fade after 24 hours. Nothing lingers unless you want it to. Your Shared Canvas with each person is a living space that evolves. Privacy-First • No engagement metrics (no likes, views, or follower counts) • No algorithmic feed • Privacy-preserving notifications ("Someone is thinking of you") • Account deletion available in Settings Safety • Report and block any user directly from their profile • Community Guidelines enforced by human moderators • All content visible only to your mutual connections

Bluebell is a better way to be social — private messaging and social networking fused into one app, instead of a feed with a chat app bolted on. Everything happens in one place. Your conversations and your feed live side by side, so staying close to the people who matter is effortless. ONE INBOX Your chats and your posts, together. No separate timeline to scroll, no noise from strangers — just the people and groups you actually care about. PODS — GROUP CHATS THAT DO MORE A pod is a conversation that scales: a one-on-one DM, a small friend group, or a whole community. Run topic threads, react and comment, post photos and videos, share link previews, run polls and trivia, and even plan trips together — all built right in. POSTS YOU CONTROL Share what you're into with photos, videos, and reactions. A post lives on your profile and you decide which pods see it — reach is just who you send to, never a public broadcast to the whole internet. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Bluebell is built for real connections, not follower counts. Everything is behind your login, there's no public broadcast feed, and there's no follow graph to game. You grow your world through invitations and the people you already know. PROFILES WITH PERSONALITY Profiles are more than a handle. See who someone really is, and open their profile right where a conversation would be. BLOOM — MEET THE PEOPLE RIGHT NEXT TO YOU Open Bloom when you're with people in person and pair up instantly with everyone nearby, then keep the conversation going in a shared pod afterward. Bluebell is available to people aged 16 and over. Questions or feedback? Reach us any time at support@bluebell.social.
