Live trivia
Quick rounds with everyone at your gate, café or campus. Some come with a prize from the place you’re in.
Waiting is better together.
See who’s waiting with you at the gate, on the platform, in the café or the library. Chat, play, share a ride. When you leave, it all disappears unless you both keep it.
Coming to iPhone and Android. Free to use.

How a wait goes
From the moment you sit down at the gate to the moment they call your row.
- 01
Check in where you are
Waylo suggests the place you’re at. Scan a table code or your boarding pass to show you’re really there.
- 02
See who’s waiting
First names, what people are up for and how long they’re around. Never a dot on a map: others see your zone, like Gate B12, and nothing more.
- 03
Wave first
A wave says hi without a cold message. If they wave back, a chat opens. If they don’t, nothing happens and nobody is told.
- 04
Chat, play or make a plan
Talk until boarding, start a quick game, or pick a busy public spot to meet. Waylo suggests one that’s close for both of you.
- 05
Keep who you clicked with
When you leave, you get a last call to choose. Keeping is mutual and silent. Everything else disappears.
Something to do, right where you are
Every place gets its own live activities. Join one in a tap, or start your own for whoever checks in next.
Study sprints
Fifty minutes on, ten off, with the whole floor. Chat only unlocks on the break.
Delay squads
Flight delayed? Everyone on it gets a room. It closes when you board.
Shared rides
Split a cab with people on your train, matched by area, never by address.
Word duels
Anonymous five-letter duels for waiting rooms. Get called in and the game pauses.
Section crews
Fans with seats near yours. Sort a merch run, then find each other after the show.
When you leave, it’s gone
Waylo is for right here, right now. Nothing follows you home unless you both decide it should.
- 10 min
- Last call. Leave the zone and you get ten minutes to choose who to keep. Airports wait until the door closes.
- 2 of 2
- Keeping is mutual. You stay connected only if you both keep each other. Nobody is told who didn’t.
- 0
- Rooms, games and waves never outlive the visit. There’s no history to scroll back through.
You decide who sees you
Visibility is set by the person being seen, not the person looking. And every safety feature is free.
- Women onlyMake yourself visible to women only, or only to people on your flight, train or course.
- Block and reportOne tap from any profile or chat. They won’t know it was you.
- Trusted contactShare where you’re meeting with someone you trust. They never need an account.
- Anonymous waiting roomsClinics and offices use aliases like “Quiet Owl”. No names, no photos.
Free to use. Plus if you want more.
Plus will come as a 7-day trip pass for occasional travellers, or monthly and yearly for regulars. Prices at launch.

Questions
Anything else? Email hello@waylo.app.
Is Waylo a dating app?
No. People use it to chat, play, study and share rides with whoever happens to be waiting nearby. There are no matches, no swiping and no profiles from other social networks.
Can people see exactly where I am?
No. Others only ever see your zone, such as “Gate B12” or “Floor 3”. Your phone’s location is used to suggest the place you’re at, and you can turn off even the zone in Privacy & safety.
What happens to my chats when I leave?
You get a short last call to choose who to keep. If you both keep each other, you stay connected. Everything else, including group rooms, games and waves, disappears.
What if nobody else is there?
Places have scheduled moments, like a 4pm quiz or a study sprint, so there’s a reason to show up. You can also start something for the next person who checks in, or play trivia solo and leave a score for them to beat.
How do you keep people safe?
You can make yourself visible to women only, block and report anyone, share where you’re meeting with a trusted contact, and stay anonymous in waiting rooms. Waylo is for adults 18 and over, and safety features are never behind a paywall.
Can I use it with my family at home?
Yes. Start a private party at home, share the six-character invite code, and play the family quiz, charades and more together. Home parties are invite only and never appear on any list. The party ends, and your crew is saved for next time.
Does it cost anything?
Waylo is free. Plus adds unlimited keeps and waves, filters and a few extras for regulars and frequent travellers.
When and where does it launch?
We’re opening at one campus and the cafés around it first, then events, train stations and airports. Join the waitlist and we’ll email you when Waylo is live near you.
How do I delete my account?
In the app, go to Me → Delete account. You can also ask us to delete it without the app, using the Delete account page linked at the bottom of this site.
I run a café or venue. Can I host on Waylo?
Yes. Venues can host quiz nights and study tables, show an offer in their own lobby and get a table QR poster. See the page for venues or email partners@waylo.app.
Your next wait could be the best part of the trip
Join the waitlist and we’ll email you when Waylo opens near you. No spam, one email when it matters.
