Know when your closest friends are actually free — without sending a single message. HelloMe is a privacy-first presence app for the handful of people who matter most. Instead of "you up?" texts and unanswered calls, everyone just sets a simple color that says how reachable they are right now: GREEN — Free: open for a call, reach out anytime PURPLE — Text me: can't talk, happy to text RED — Busy: heads-down, please hold off One glance tells you who's around. No feeds, no likes, no endless chat threads — just ambient awareness of the people you love. CIRCLES Group your friends into circles — Close Friends, Family, the gym crew — and set a different status for each. You can be "Free" for family and "Busy" for everyone else, all at once. Each circle gets its own look, so you always know which one you're in. HOW IT WORKS • Sign in with your phone number (a quick one-time code — no passwords) • Add friends by number, or optionally find the ones already on HelloMe from your contacts • Set your status per circle; your friends see it update instantly • Get a gentle notification when a friend becomes free — you choose exactly what pings you, with quiet hours • Tap a friend to call or text through your own apps — HelloMe never messages for you BUILT TO RESPECT YOU • No ads. No tracking. No analytics SDKs. Nothing sold. • Finding friends from contacts is optional — phone numbers are matched on our server and immediately discarded, never stored, sold, or shared • Block and report anyone, anytime • Delete your account and all your data from inside the app, instantly HelloMe is for real friendship, not another social network. Set your color. Be reachable to the people who matter — and invisible to everyone else.
