Invite-only · iPhone
Have we crossed paths before?
You just met someone. Open DéVu together and find out if you were in the same place, around the same time, before you ever said hello.
Invite-only beta on iPhone. We'll email you when your invite is ready.
How it works
It only takes a moment.
Meet in person
DéVu only works face to face. No feeds, no strangers.
Scan each other
One phone shows a code, the other scans it. That's the DéVu.
See where you crossed
Same neighborhood, same days, maybe years ago. Or today is your first.
Why DéVu
Social media for people who'd rather be out.
We got very good at scrolling past each other. DéVu only works when you're standing next to someone, and it finds the part of your story you didn't know you already shared.

Private by design
Your photos never leave your phone.
DéVu reads where and when your photos were taken right on your iPhone, then shares only a neighborhood-sized area and a date. Never a photo, never your exact spot, never the time of day.

Invite-only
Every member gets three invites.
DéVu grows one real introduction at a time. If you know someone on DéVu, ask them for one. Otherwise, join the waitlist and tell us where to launch next.
No spam. We'll email you when your invite is ready.
Questions
Good to know.
How does DéVu know we crossed paths?
Your phone looks at where and when your photos were taken, and turns each one into a neighborhood-sized area and a date. That's all it shares. When you DéVu with someone, DéVu compares the two lists and shows where they overlap: the same neighborhood within about a day, or the same wider area within about a week.
What if we've never crossed paths?
Then today is your first. DéVu remembers where you met, and if you both switch it on, lets you know when you're in the same city again.
Does DéVu track my location?
Only if you allow it, and only coarsely. DéVu uses iPhone's low-power location updates to keep your history going, turned into the same neighborhood-and-date format before anything leaves your phone. Ghost mode lets you go dark whenever you like.
Why is DéVu invite-only?
DéVu only works with people you actually meet, so it grows the same way: in person. Every member gets three invites. If you know someone on DéVu, ask them. Otherwise, join the waitlist.
See you out there.
Put the phone down. Go meet someone. DéVu will tell you the rest.
