How Velvet Works
Where connections feel natural.
Velvet is a social app built for real connection — without swipes, without pressure, without pretending.
Just people meeting people, in the most natural and intuitive way.
No “match required.”
No endless swiping.
No chasing.
Just add, connect, and vibe.
Whether you’re here to meet new people, find friends, explore interests, join groups, or simply see who’s around — Velvet gives you the space to do it your way.
Velvet is 18+ only, because we want a mature, respectful and safe environment for everyone.
⭐ Our mission
Our mission is simple:
To create a safe, free, and modern social space where adults can meet, talk, and connect without limitations — wherever they are.
A place where you can:
be yourself
express freely
share your world
discover others
feel safe
and build connections that actually feel good
Velvet is designed for people who value authenticity, privacy and meaningful connection — not games, not pressure.
If someone doesn’t get it?
Well… Velvet isn’t for everyone.
It’s for the ones who want something real.
⭐ What makes Velvet different
Velvet is a hybrid between a social app and a modern connection hub.
No swipes.
No waiting for matches.
No judgment.
Here’s what makes us unique:
1. Add instead of match
Send a Friend Request — just like in real life.
If both accept, you can chat instantly.
No algorithms deciding “who you should talk to.”
2. Two ways to discover people
Map & List View: See who’s nearby (with protected location bubbles)
Explore: See people across countries — with filters for age, gender and location
Your profile shows your city and country, never your exact location.
3. VelvetVibe (Pins)
A social feed where you can share your thoughts, moments, questions or vibes.
Pins can receive likes & comments, and anyone can discover you through what you share.
4. Groups
Public or private communities where admins control permissions.
Meet people through shared topics, create spaces, or join existing ones.
5. 1:1 Chat
Crystal clear, simple, and private.
Send photos, documents, links and stay connected with your friends anytime.
6. Full privacy control
Don’t want to appear in Map, List View or Explore?
Activate Ghost Mode — 24h or 30 days — and stay fully hidden while still using the app normally.
⭐ Where Velvet comes from
Velvet is built by a small international team with one shared goal:
to create the most open, safe and intuitive social app for adults.
We believe connection should feel easy — not forced.
Honest — not performative.
Human — not algorithmic.
Velvet is headquartered in Switzerland 🇨🇭 and designed for a global audience.
⭐ A space made for you
Velvet is where curiosity meets comfort.
Where you connect without pressure.
Where you choose who enters your world.
And where every interaction can turn into something meaningful.
If you want a place that’s social, safe, modern and real — welcome to Velvet.
meet. vibe. connect.
