It's no secret:

We’re living through one of the loneliest times on earth

X We Tweet without talking.

 X We Insta without inspiration. 

X We Snap senselessly. 

Social media apps aren’t designed to connect you. Their goal is to keep you connected to the internet as long as possible. 

While surface-level connections are easy to come by, everyone is craving deeper, more meaningful relationships.

Step 1

Record your voice note

You’re probably already thinking of someone special who would love to hear from you. No need for your words to be perfect. Your natural voice carries the warmth that texts can't capture. And with no account required, you can start right away.

Step 2

Share with anyone, instantly

Send your voice note with a single click. Your message reaches them directly. There’s no app to download. Just a genuine connection (without the digital clutter).

Step 3

Build your message collection

If you decide to create an account, you can save the messages that matter. Unlike social media posts that disappear into the algorithm, your voice notes become a collection of meaningful notes you can revisit anytime.

YOUR CONNECTIONS ARE WORTH IT

But what if I sound awkward?

Everyone feels a bit awkward at first. That's completely normal. 

With HiLU, you can practice, re-record, or use our prompts until you feel ready to share your note. And remember: the people who matter care about hearing from you, not about perfect delivery. 

Record that first voice note, and watch your confidence (and connections) grow with every message.

“It’s such a great way for me to store all my voice messages from my kids and loved ones in one platform.”
I can go back and listen to all my daughter's when I’m missing her at college. It’s also such a great way for me to send a loving message to them as well.

“HiLU feels confronting - in a good way.”
It nudges me to make better choices with my time, and helps me feel like I can contribute something of lasting value in an often scary and unpredictable world. I learned to make that counter-intuitive step from feeling stressed in my own life to thinking about someone else and sending them love - the result of which is I feel more positive.
