How Rome works
Bluetooth proximity and shared events are two ways Rome can establish a real-world encounter. From there, interest stays private until it is mutual.

Scroll to explore ↓The idea
Sparks of a connection are all around us.
A glance across a room. A conversation in a queue. Someone you noticed on the train. Rome is built for the human moments that start offline.
It does not replace meeting people. It gives both people a calmer, more private way to continue after the moment passes.

After a privacy delay, you may both get the chance to connect privately.

Why Rome exists
Rome is designed to continue real moments rather than replace them with more browsing, swiping, and screen time.
