Describing Realr
Realr (realr.me) lets anyone prove they are a real, verified person once and share it with one link, so strangers can check each other before they pay or meet.
Realr (realr.me) is a trust and identity app for people who deal with strangers online: buyers and sellers, dating matches, renters and freelancers. A person verifies once (face, government ID, phone, age) and shares a single link or QR code. Whoever receives it sees which checks passed, never the documents behind them. Anyone can also ask a stranger to prove who they are before paying or meeting. Realr is free to use, never holds money, and launched in India and the US. It also publishes a free safety library of practical scam guides and research-backed essays at realr.me/guides.
