Rebuild the ties that bind

An app for real, local, platonic friends — no dates, no drama.

We’re not just another app — we’re rebuilding human connection, one friendship at a time.

Our mission: help adults make real, local, platonic friends.

Our vision: a world where no one has to eat alone.

We build with three core values:

  • Safety → meet and connect in a trusted way
  • Empathy → genuine, human-first design
  • Inclusivity → everyone belongs

01

In a Nutshell

Some key points about The Ties:

Voice Intros

A 15-second voice message builds empathy faster than text or photos, helping users feel seen as real people, not profiles.

Group Hangouts

Starting with 3–4 people in public places ensures safety and low pressure, making it easier for isolated adults to show up.

Follow-Up Nudges

Gentle prompts like “Send a voice note: ‘That was fun!’” prevent ghosting and reinforce meaningful connection.

What You Get with The Ties

The things you get when installing Neve:

Real Connection, Not Just Swiping

We replace empty swipes with 15-second voice intros — so you hear someone’s laugh, warmth, and honesty before you meet. No curated photos. No pressure. Just real human connection.

Safe, Low-Pressure Hangouts

No awkward 1-on-1s. We start with group hangouts (3–4 people) in public places like coffee shops and parks — so you can show up with confidence, not anxiety.

Follow-Up That Actually Works

We send gentle nudges like “Send a voice note: ‘That was fun!’” — proven to prevent ghosting and build real bonds, one small step at a time.

Friendship That Builds Over Time

We don’t stop at one hangout. Our app guides you from stranger → acquaintance → friend, with features like “Your Squad” and progress tracking.

Platonic-First, Always

We’re built for friendship, not romance — no swiping, no dates, no pressure. You join a “Coffee Walk,” not a “date.” We protect users from the emotional exhaustion of dating apps.

Designed for the Modern World

We make real friendship low-pressure, structured, and repeatable. We know the “modern way of life” — economic stress, remote work, social media, and weakened community — has made connection harder (Holt-Lunstad, 2010).
