More than an app

A community, not just a match.

Velvet Hour is built for the lifestyle, and for the people in it. Beyond browsing and chatting, there’s a whole community to be part of: six rooms to talk, plan and meet in, groups for your city and your crowd, a feed of what everyone’s up to, and nights out you can see coming.

VIP

A little extra

See who viewed your profile, boost yourself to the top for a while, and message people before they’ve joined as members.

The waitlist

Be first through
the door.

Velvet Hour opens city by city, where enough people are waiting. Tell us who you are and where you are, and we’ll email you the moment the doors open near you.

  • One email when we launch. No spam, ever.
  • Your city helps decide where we open first.
  • Your details stay private and are never shared.
Who’s joining?

Discretion, by design

Real people. Private by default.

Verified members

Every member confirms their age and identity before they can see anyone. We keep the result, never your ID photos.

You choose what shows

Private photos you share only with people you choose, discreet notifications, and the option to hide your profile or browse incognito.

Safety you can reach

Block and report from any profile or chat. Reports are reviewed by people, and photos are screened before they appear.
