BeReal is a social app redefining how people share online by encouraging authenticity over curation. Founded in Paris in 2020 by Alexis Barreyat and Kevin Perreau, BeReal sends users a daily notification to capture and share a spontaneous photo within two minutes. The app grew rapidly among Gen Z and creators seeking genuine connection, attracting investment from Andreessen Horowitz and Accel. BeReal remains a leading alternative to highly filtered social platforms.
