Call anyone with a qualified ASL interpreter on screen. Message your people. Keep up with Deaf news. One app, built by us, for how we actually talk.
We're Deaf. We built the app we wanted to use.
Your phone calls, your conversations, and your community, in one place.
CONNECT — your calls
Call anyone through VRS, with a certified ASL interpreter on screen. This is your phone service, not a favor. There's no charge to you — VRS is paid for through the federal TRS fund.
No explaining yourself first. No hoping the person on the other end knows how relay works. You dial, and you have the conversation.
Your call history follows your account, not one device. Tap any call to call back.
Need an interpreter in the room instead? VRI puts one on screen for an appointment, a meeting, or anywhere the conversation has to happen in person.
CONTACTS — bring your people with you
Import straight from your phone, or a CSV on the web. Favorite the people you call most. Duplicates merge on their own. Your contacts and your call history are tied to your account, not to one device, so they are there wherever you sign in.
CHAT — message your people
Text or video message anyone on Tive. Signing to a signer needs nobody in between.
MIX — your feed
The part of Tive that isn't a phone call. Post what's on your mind, follow who you want, and see what everyone's up to.
HUB — Deaf news
News, events, and resources, pulled from the sources the community already reads.
WHO CAN USE VRS
VRS is for people who use sign language to make phone calls. We walk you through registration. Mix, Chat, and Hub are open to everyone.

Tive is next-level awesome! It’s rare to find a trendy, fresh social media app that’s actually designed with the Deaf community in mind—and delivers. VRS and VRI built right into the app? That’s wild. This isn’t just another chat platform—it’s a full-on hub for connection, culture, and communication. Everything in one sleek, intuitive interface. It feels modern, inclusive, and exciting. Finally, an app that gets it. Deaf tech just got a serious glow-up.
A Wonderful App

I’ve spent some time with Tive and this application is absolutely fantastic. It’s mission, community, and interface all work seamlessly with each other to bring a pleasurable and interactive (😉) experience. This app definitely has my seal of approval and I recommend this app to you, and anyone. Trust me, you will not be disappointed!
buggy app, poor customer service

I had successfully opened an account and used Tive VRS in 2025. Now in ‘26 this app claims my address is incorrect no matter how I format it. X-squeeze me?!? I have active accounts with TWO other VRS companies and they’re not denying the correctness of my address.Tive combining VRS+VRI into a single app prevents one who prefers other VRS companies from using Tive VRI without registering for Tive VRS.Tive for Zoom doesn’t work on mobile devices, when this app right here ONLY works on mobile devices. Both should work on mobile devices, and until they do, and my address is accepted, I’m DONE with Tive!
Well done-check it out!

Tive is a very intuitive and well designed app. Its features for the deaf/ hoh community make it a go-to over the usual social media platforms. Highly recommend!
Developer Response
Thank you for your review! There are more features coming up on our app as we speak for the d/Deaf and HoH community. Stay tune for TiveConnect's launch.
If a managed iPad is missing its site, access code, or device serial, it now shows “Setup incomplete. Please contact your IT team.” instead of the network error.
