How Xelvic works

Five steps to set up Xelvic: create an account, find your people, start a chat or a call, post a Drop, and make the app yours.

The five steps

  1. Create your account — Your name, your birthday, a number (or an email) and the six-digit code that proves it is you. Set a password and Xelvic rolls your @username — under a minute, no forms after that. In the app: Your name → Verify number → Set a password → Pick a @username.
  2. Find your people — Allow contacts and everyone already on Xelvic shows up right away — each number is kept only as a one-way hash, with the name you saved it under. Prefer to search? Find anyone by name or @handle. In the app: Allow contacts → See who is on Xelvic → or Search by @handle.
  3. Start talking — Send a message, hold the mic for a voice note, or tap the phone and camera icons to start a voice or video call. Everything is offline-first, so your messages always get there. In the app: Open a chat → Type or hold 🎤 → Tap 📞 / 🎥 to call.
  4. Share your day — Post a Moment, drop a photo, or go Live. What you share with the people you keep turns up today and becomes a Memory tomorrow. In the app: Tap your avatar + → Add text / music / poll → Post — lasts 24h.
  5. Make it yours — Flip into any of 33 themes, set a chat wallpaper, and dress your profile in Drip. Keep a spark going with a friend — both of you say something before the day is out — to unlock even more. In the app: Open Marketplace → Drip · Themes · Logos → Pick a look & apply.
