Features

FollowBee is a proximity-first social app that turns the world around you into a living hive of people you can connect with in real time. This page walks you through what FollowBee does, how it works, and all the different ways you can use it in your life.

What FollowBee Does

Instead of scrolling endless feeds, FollowBee shows you nearby profiles in a simple, live view we call the hive. You decide how close "nearby" is, what you want to be discovered for, and how you want others to reach out. It's social discovery based on who's actually around you right now, not just who you already follow.

Core Features

• Live Hive Feed – See a dynamic grid of people who are currently near you and open to connecting.
• Proximity Radius Control – Slide your radius in or out to discover people in your building, your block, or your whole city.
• Interest Tags & Filters – Add tags like #studybuddy, #networking, #gaming, or #coffeechat and filter others by what you care about.
• Instant Chats & Icebreakers – Start conversations with one-tap icebreakers so you never have to overthink the first message.
• Modes for Different Contexts – Switch how you appear depending on whether you're in school mode, work mode, or social mode.
• Profile Highlights – Quickly show what you're looking for: study partner, project collaborator, new friends, or something more.

Use FollowBee for School & Campus Life

On campus, FollowBee makes it easier to find your people fast:

• Discover classmates who are nearby and open to forming study groups.
• Connect with people in your dorm, library, or cafeteria without awkward introductions.
• Find club members, teammates, or event partners right where things are happening.
• Meet other students who share majors, interests, or schedules similar to yours.

Use FollowBee for Work & Business

FollowBee helps you turn everyday spaces into networking opportunities:

• See who's nearby at conferences, meetups, and co-working spaces.
• Connect with professionals in your industry who are open to chatting.
• Find collaborators, freelancers, or potential clients close to where you are.
• Switch into a professional mode so your profile highlights your skills and work.

Use FollowBee for Dating & New Connections

When you're open to something more personal, FollowBee gives you a simple way to see who nearby might be on the same wavelength:

• Discover people around you who are open to dating or meeting new people.
• Use interest tags and short prompts to show your personality quickly.
• Start low-pressure chats that can turn into real-world meetups.
• Switch modes at any time so you stay in control of how you show up.

Use FollowBee for Friends & Like-Minded People

Not everything has to be about work or dating. FollowBee is built for everyday human connection too:

• Find people who share your hobbies, fandoms, or creative interests.
• Connect with neighbors and locals for walks, workouts, coffee, or conversation.
• See who's nearby at parks, events, or community spaces and is open to meeting up.
• Build a nearby circle of like-minded people you can actually see in person.

Privacy & Safety Features

FollowBee is designed to help you connect while still feeling in control:

• Approximate Location Only – We show proximity, not your exact address or pinpoint on a map.
• Visibility Controls – Choose when you're visible, who can find you, and which mode you're in.
• Block & Report Tools – Quickly block or report anyone who makes you uncomfortable.
• Profile Controls – Edit or pause your profile at any time if you want to step away.
