About Vylo

See what's happening around you, right now — verified by people who are actually there.

Vylo shows a live feed of everything nearby: food trucks, traffic, safety alerts, lost pets, garage sales, pop-ups, deals, and community events. Every update is confirmed or disputed by locals, so you get a trustworthy picture of your area — not rumors.

No doomscrolling, no engagement bait. Your radius decides what you see; verification decides what rises.

What’s in Vylo

  • Live Radius — a feed scoped to the area around you: Now, Today, Tomorrow
  • Verified by locals — updates gain trust as nearby people confirm them
  • Interactive map — everything happening, with trust badges on every pin
  • Pulse — ask people nearby a question, get answers from the spot
  • City Pulse — watch your city light up as neighbours contribute
  • Follow topics, places and people you trust, ordered inside your radius
  • Private by design — location only while you use it, photos stripped of hidden metadata, sensitive posts shown as approximate area only

Frequently asked questions

Where is Vylo available?

Vylo is starting in the Sacramento area — Rocklin, Roseville, Sacramento and Lincoln, California. A device within about five miles of one of those cities is placed in it automatically. You can open Vylo from anywhere, but the feed is only busy where neighbours are already posting, so it is worth checking back as more cities open.

Do I need an account to use Vylo?

No sign-up is required. Vylo signs you in anonymously in the background so your posts and follows stay attached to you, and you only add an email address if you choose to verify your account.

How does Vylo use my location?

Only while you are using the app, and only at neighbourhood accuracy rather than an exact GPS fix. It decides which area your feed is scoped to. You can also pick an area by hand instead, and you can mark your location as approximate — posts in sensitive categories such as safety and lost-and-found default to approximate to protect people and pets.

How does Vylo decide what to trust?

People near a post confirm or dispute it. An update that nearby people confirm gains a trust badge and rises; one that is disputed does not. There is no engagement-based ranking — your radius decides what you see, and verification decides what rises.

Is Vylo free?

Yes. Vylo is free to download and use, and is supported by ads shown in the feed.
