Imagine having
7 conversations with one person. At the same time.
For people who’d rather text than call. helobelo gives every topic its own thread, so the trip, the dog and the serious stuff never get in each other’s way.
Calm
Quiet when
you need it.
A messenger you live in all day has to know when to shut up.
Mute until three.
Pick a time and that one person goes quiet until then. Their messages still arrive, the count still climbs, and they are never told.
Go to sleep.
Still writing back and forth at midnight? Turn on the late-night nudge and helobelo says something. It never writes into your chat.
One buzz, not two.
While you're reading a thread on your Mac, your iPhone stays quiet about it.
Receipts that tell the truth.
Waiting when there's no signal. Sent when it's on the server, Delivered when it's on their phone, Read when they've seen it.
The rest
Small things,
done properly.
Photos before they upload.
Their phone draws your picture the instant you hit send. It turns sharp about a second later.
Your colour.
Seven accents and nine chat backgrounds, and each person you talk to can get their own. Go on, pick one.
Name it first.
A new chat starts with its title. Type one you've used before and the old thread comes back.
A real Mac app.
A sidebar of threads, shortcuts you can rebind, and the arrow keys to walk through a conversation.
