vlrb
Video blurbs for the people you love
A vlrb (say it like "blurb" with a v) is a quick video message—the moments that text can't capture, for the people who matter most. Like passing a note to a dear friend.
vlrb Your PeopleMade for meaningful moments
Not another social feed. Just you and the people you care about.
Designed to stay light on your phone
vlrbs go straight to the cloud—not your camera roll—and expire after a set time. We do everything we can to keep your storage free for what matters most.
Take your time
Say everything you need to say. Share videos up to 10 minutes long, because some stories need room to breathe.
Real connection
See their smile. Hear their laugh. Share the warmth that only face-to-face can bring, even from far away.
Just between us
Your moments stay private. No public feeds, no algorithms, no ads. Just the people you choose to share with.
Our Promise
We believe your moments belong to you.
vlrb is funded by subscriptions—not ads, not data sales, not investors looking for exits. We don't sell your data. We don't show you ads. We don't analyze your videos. Your content is yours.
If we ever can't sustain this model, we'll shut vlrb down. We won't compromise.
We also build for everyone. Accessibility isn't a feature we'll get to later—it's how we design from the start.
Choose your pace
Video messaging that respects your time and your wallet. Core features free, forever. Every subscription helps keep vlrb running—and keeps it free of ads and data sales for everyone.

Questions & Answers
Everything you might want to know
How is vlrb different from other video apps?
We're not trying to be a social network. vlrb is for the conversations that matter most, the ones you'd have over a cup of tea or a long phone call. No followers, no feeds, just genuine connection with the people you choose.
Will videos fill up my phone?
We work hard to minimize our footprint. vlrbs go straight to the cloud—not your camera roll—and expire automatically, so they won't pile up. You can still save your favorites locally if you want. While a completely full phone can still block recording, vlrb is designed to stay as light as possible.
What happens when videos expire?
Like letters that find their time, expired vlrbs are gently removed from our servers. With our Storyteller tier, you can choose when that happens. We recommend saving anything truly precious to your camera roll.
Is my content private?
Completely. Your vlrbs travel safely between you and your recipients, like sealed letters. We don't peek, we don't analyze, and we certainly don't share. Your moments are yours alone.
