The txtme.social code: one person, one code, scanned in real life

Beta testing opens at 31.10.2026

The platform that wants you offline.

txtme.social is being built in Amsterdam. Until it opens, this page is the door: what it is, how far it is, and the list for the beta.

Where things stand

Under construction, on purpose.

Everything behind this door is being finished one piece at a time. It goes live when it is ready, not when a calendar says so. Four pieces, in the order they arrive.

In the tram at night, phone in hand, laughing — **The app**The prototype is ready. The first people get it on their phone soon.

The white txtme.social shirt in front of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam — **Drop 01**Four pieces, each one with a code. The beta group sees them first.

The back of the white edition on a hanger, the printed code — **The shop**The full website with the shop, the legal pages and the stories from the nights.

Three friends at the bar, Amsterdam — **For places**The business interface integration for cafés, bars, organizations, creators, journalists and many more that bring people together.

You won’t find anyone here through search.

You meet, someone scans your code, and only then you’re connected.

The code

One person. One code.
Many offline memories.

Every shirt carries one person’s code. Someone scans it in real life, and the two of you are connected in the app. Nobody finds you by searching. Nobody is pushed into your feed. The code opens only in the app; a normal camera sees a pattern and nothing else.

Sitting on the ADE cube, the code on the back

Five backs, five codes, five people. No ads, no algorithm, no data selling. Profiles stay invisible until two people have actually met. One app, two perspectives: one interface for the people in the room, and one for the cafés, bars, and creators shaping their offline moments.

1code per person. It is yours, and it stays yours.

12pictures on a profile. A choice, not a feed.

0ads. No algorithm, no data sold, no pull.

Inside the app

Five screens from the prototype.

In development, tested in Amsterdam. Everything you see here is part of the beta. The places on it are chosen, not bought. Tap through.

The map: verified places nearby, friends who are out

Live Pulse: what is happening right now, nearby

Channels: places and people you follow on purpose

Communities: groups around a place or a night

Verified places nearby, and the friends who are already out.

Nobody buys their way to the top. If it is on the map, someone from txtme.social has been there.

What is happening right now, nearby.

A late opening, a small event, a friend who is out. Where you decide where to go tonight.

Followed on purpose.

You follow a place because you were there. If you follow someone, you see them. No algorithm in between.

The regulars, with a name.

A group around a place, a night or a city. With a purpose and an end date. Nobody gets added without asking.

Twelve pictures, not a feed.

A profile is a choice: twelve pictures, what you are into, what you are up to. Nobody sees it without having met you.

The screens are renderings. The finished app may differ slightly.

A night, in three parts

The night is yours. The app takes care of the rest.

You pick the place. You meet whoever you meet. The phone stays in your pocket until the night is over, and the people you met are still there in the morning.

Before

Where is everyone tonight? Live Pulse shows what is happening nearby, and the friends who are coming find each other before the first drink.

During

Phone away. No check-ins, no stories, no screen between you and the person in front of you. A code on a shirt is all it takes.

After

The night ends. The people don’t have to. A scan became a connection, the group chat lasted exactly as long as the night, and the person from the bar is still reachable in the morning.

For places

Places worth finding.

People are already out. They drink coffee, eat, dance, meet friends, and every one of those moments happens inside a place. txtme.social puts verified cafés, restaurants, bars, studios and cultural places in front of exactly those people. No ads, no ranking, no algorithm.

VerifiedWe check the place. By hand. txtme.social makes sure it’s real.

On the mapAmong verified places, for people who are actually nearby. Not because anyone paid, because it belongs.

A profileHours, menu, what is on tonight. The page a guest opens before walking in.

The code at the tillA card, a sticker, a voucher. Guests scan it, follow the place, redeem the offer.

The business interface, for the people who run those places, is being built right now. Being built

Amsterdam

Where it started.

Founded in Amsterdam in 2025. The first codes went out during Amsterdam Dance Event that October, on people’s backs, in trams, in queues, on the dance floor. This October txtme.social is back in the ADE week, with the beta.

The shirt was never the point. It is the way in: a code on the back, printed on real people, scanned in real rooms. The first drop was designed around it, the beta is built around it, and the launch comes when the beta has done its work.
