Your city has more to offer than your feed does.

Jemzy is a location-based video app. Drop a short, unedited video somewhere that matters to you. Others walk to it to watch. That's the whole idea — and it changes how a city feels.

How Jemzy works.

Drop a Jem.

Open the app anywhere that means something to you. Record up to 60 seconds; no editing, no filters, no production required. Drop it on the map exactly where you're standing. It belongs to that place now.

People have a picnic in a park filled with trees, with animated cartoon characters added for fun, some sitting on the grass and some standing or walking, with a cloudy sky and smoke from a barbecue or grill in the background.

Explore the map

The map shows Jems dropped by real people nearby. What your neighbors found, what your regulars love, what someone thought was worth sharing last Tuesday. Organic discovery; no algorithm involved.

Walk to unlock.

Find a Jem worth watching. Walk within 100 feet of where it was dropped, and it opens. The app is designed to get you somewhere real, not to keep you sitting still.

Most apps are built for broadcasting. Jemzy is built for discovering.

Social media handed everyone a megaphone. Jemzy puts a map in your hands instead.

There is no feed to scroll, no algorithm deciding what reaches you, no metrics telling you how you did. Just a map of your neighborhood, and the real people who left something on it worth finding.

A few things we left out on purpose.

Young green leaves on a small branch growing from a weathered tree trunk, with sunlight filtering through a dark, blurred background of foliage.

No endless feeds.

The map is the interface. You choose where to look, what to explore, and when to stop. There is nothing engineered to keep you scrolling.

Reflections of a bridge and surrounding trees in a body of water, with portions of the sky visible, creating a mixture of blue and reddish-brown hues.

Not data profiles.

We collect only what we need to run the app. We don't build advertising profiles, and we don't sell what you do to people who want to sell you things.

No anonymous posting.

Everyone on Jemzy uses their real name. Our moderation is proactive; content that disrupts the community is removed, not rewarded.

Designed for people who prefer depth over noise.

Jemzy was built with introverts in mind; people who want real community but find most social settings overstimulating. People who like knowing a place before they show up. Who prefer a good conversation to a crowded room.

If that sounds like you, this app was made with care for the way you move through the world.

Community infrastructure for curious people.

An art gallery with a variety of framed paintings on dark blue and gray walls, a brown leather couch centered on a wooden floor, and several small sculptures and decorative items displayed among the paintings.

Jemzy is closer to a library card than a social network. It belongs to the community it serves. It's built to be useful, not to hold your attention longer than it should.

The map is public. The voices on it are real. The places it leads you to exist in the world — not just on a screen.
