The idea

Turn followers into friends

Unlike other apps that accumulate random faces for you to never meet, Faxx is designed to help you deepen connections with existing friends through the power of integrating into your existing Snapchat friends.

Where this came from

Faxx

The product

Four screens, one idea

The four screens the company published, with its own descriptions. Pick one, or let it cycle.

Social integration

    The team

    Four people in Berkeley

    The company published four Bitmoji avatars, four roles and four LinkedIn profiles. Those are reproduced here; the avatars are the company’s own.

    LinkedIn lists Faxx as a company of 4 employees, with 139 followers.

    Then what

    The app is gone

    The site linked to App Store id 1541029378. That listing no longer resolves, the domain now serves a parking page, and the company’s last public words were about pushing the app “from close beta to public launch”.

    What survived, and what did not

    The badge the site used. Its link is dead.

    Say hello

    The published address is still the published address. If you were a Faxx user and want your data, or you just remember the app, it is the only route there was.
