questions, answered.
how viberater works, who sees what, and when it opens.
the basics
what is viberater?
viberater shows you what a place feels like right now, before you walk in. people inside share the energy and a few vibe tags. you get the read.
what's a vibe?
one energy word (chill, lively, buzzing, packed or electric) plus up to five tags from 36 across crowd, mood and scene. it takes about ten seconds.
what kinds of places?
third spaces: bars, restaurants, cafés, clubs, outdoor dining, hotel lobbies, gyms, barbers and salons, bookstores and record shops, libraries, museums, parks, plazas and sports courts.
how fresh is it?
every vibe fades over six hours, so the read is always about tonight. the room resets at 5am.
using it
do i have to be there to drop a vibe?
yes. your phone confirms you're inside the place first, so every vibe comes from someone in the room.
how often can i drop a vibe?
once every 90 minutes at the same place. you can drop vibes at different places as often as you like.
can i add a place?
places come from public map data, so everyone sees the same list. if somewhere is missing, email hello@getviberater.co.
people and privacy
who can see that i'm here?
only people who are seen at the same place. dropping a vibe makes you seen there, and the app tells you right away. go ghost any time and you're invisible.
what's a wave?
a quick hello to someone in the same room. you both get a notification. a wave lasts while you're both there, and the rest happens in person.
how old do i need to be?
17 or older.
can i delete my account?
yes, any time, in settings. your profile, vibes, photo and waves are deleted with it.

which cities?
starting with nyc and branching out based on local demand. join the waitlist and we'll tell you when your city goes live.
iphone and android?

is it free?
yes. the core experience is free.
