RLY was a social media application that enabled users to convert their iPhone Live Photos and video clips into looping 3-5 second videos called 'Loops'. The platform provided an in-app camera to capture these clips and allowed sharing them on a user's profile or within private groups for enhanced privacy. The company's online platform was designed to help users capture and edit live photos with various playback filters, which could then be shared with others.
The New York-based startup, backed by venture capital, soft-launched its app on April 25, 2018. It was inspired by conversations with young social media users seeking a more authentic and expressive online experience. According to PitchBook, the company is now listed as out of business as of January 1, 2019.
