The map is waking up — no beacons in this frame yet.

Your city first

The guide to your city, and the people who make it beat.

pvlsr shows the pulse of every place — when it comes alive, who goes, and what it actually looks like tonight. Every photograph was taken on the spot by somebody who was there. And every week, a table sits you down with people who go where you go.

Why it is different

01

A pvlse is a verified visit

Not a claim. The server confirms the phone was inside the venue's footprint when the shutter fired. A photograph chosen from the gallery is still allowed — it simply carries a label instead of a badge, and it never becomes the face of a place.

The badge only a capture on the spot can carry

02

Places pulse, moments take beats

A beat is not a heart tapped out of politeness. It is the one appreciation signal in the app and it does work: it feeds the venue's pulse, which is what the map shows somebody deciding where to go tonight.

One beat, and the venue's pulse rises with it

03

The Circle opens by going

A venue's facade is public — everybody sees it. The murmur underneath belongs to the people who have been. One verified pvlse on the spot and the next layer opens. There is no way to buy in; you go.

The facade is public. The murmur is earned.

The gesture

How it works

Five moments. The rest of the app is built around them.

  1. You arrive somewhere

    01

    You arrive somewhere

    The app recognises the place by its footprint and arms the capture button. Outside the footprint it stays dark — that is the whole guarantee.

  2. You capture

    02

    You capture

    Up to eight photographs, and for each one you choose who may see it: everybody, the venue's Circle, or only your table.

  3. The verdict lands

    03

    The verdict lands

    Verification answers in seconds. Verified, the pvlse joins the region's Feed and makes the venue's beacon beat on the map.

  4. You meet the city

    04

    You meet the city

    Where you actually go decides what you are offered: the tables, the people free tonight, the crews that outlast them.

Meeting people

05

One table a week, with people you already cross paths with

Each week pvlsr offers a table to a few people who go to the same places you do. Three yesses and it forms: a chat, a place, an evening. If it worked, you keep the beat and the group stays.

  • Nobody picks from a photograph — your places do the talking
  • 48 hours to answer, then the table passes
  • A group that keeps the beat becomes a crew
Four seats, four taken

What you control

You decide what shows

pvlsr has no live friend map, and does not want one. Every photograph you take carries the visibility YOU choose as you take it: everybody, the venue's Circle, or just your table. And the alerts that say somebody you know is here stay off until you turn them on.

See exactly how it works

On every photograph, you choose:

  • Everybody
  • The venue's Circle
  • Your table

The guide to your city, and the people who make it beat.

The visual guide to your city: the pulse of every place, photographs taken on the spot, and one table a week to meet the people who make it beat.

Not yet.

pvlsr opens one city at a time, and it has not opened yours. Leave an address and you will hear on the day it does.

Where you would use it. We open one city at a time, so this is the part that decides when you hear.

Which one are you waiting for?

One email on launch day in your city. Nothing else is ever sent to this address, and it is not shared with anybody.
