Meet in real life

Real life has better
matches than any algorithm.

Go live when you're out. Nearly shows you the people you actually cross paths with — right place, right moment. No feeds. No swiping.

The whole idea, in one move

Go live. Cross paths.
They appear.

It's the opposite of a swipe deck. Nothing happens until you're actually out, actually live, and actually near someone. Every connection is grounded in a real moment, in a real place.

01 — You

Turn on your beacon

Out at a bar, a court, a campus. You appear to others only while you choose to be live. The rest of the time, you're invisible.

02 — The moment

You physically cross paths

Two live people, filters mutually matched, within Bluetooth range of each other. Detection is BLE, not GPS — it's the people actually around you, not a dot on a map.

03 — The first move

Send an invitation

Not a silent match — an invite. They hold a slot for 48 hours, and you've got that long to make it land. Then it's gone.

The good ones are outside

They're not in a
feed. They're out.

So get out. The best matches were never going to be served to you by an algorithm — they're at the next table, on the same trail, in the same queue.

Why it's different

Ten to start.
Forty-eight hours.

Most apps give you infinity and call it abundance. We think it's noise. You start with ten detection slots — and when a night calls for it, you can unlock a few extra, temporary ones with Steps. The baseline stays deliberately small on purpose.

10slots to start
A baseline, not a wall

Ten keeps it deliberate

Starting at ten means you actually choose. Need room for a big night out? Unlock extra temporary slots with Steps — then it settles back to ten.

48 hours

A clock, not forever

A person occupies a slot for two days. Make the first move, or let them go. Either way — no graveyard of dead chats.

No infinite feed

You're in the room

No algorithm deciding who you see. Just the live people physically around you right now, who chose to be here too.

How it works

Three honest steps.

Step 01

Go live

Switch your beacon on when you arrive somewhere. Set who you want to detect. You appear only while you stay live — and only to phones within Bluetooth range.

Step 02

Cross paths

When you physically pass someone live whose filters match yours, they land in one of your ten slots — with a face, a place, and a 48-hour clock.

Step 03

Send an invite

The first move is an invitation, not a silent match. Say something real. They've got 48 hours to accept before the slot frees up again.

Steps

Meeting people is a reason to leave the house.

You earn Steps — our in-app currency — just by walking while you're live. Spend them to unlock extra, temporary detection slots when a night calls for it. There's a quiet get-outside energy to the whole thing: the more you move, the more the app gives back. No treadmill. Just being out.

Built for real moments

Real. Intentional.
Verified by phone.

Grounding people in a real place and a real moment does most of the work. The rest, we build in on purpose.

Every account verified

Real people only. Each account is verified by phone — no bots, no catfish. The person in the slot is the person in the room.

You're never always-on

You appear only while you choose to go live, and only for as long as you stay live. Switch the beacon off and you're invisible again.

Mutual by design

You only detect, and are detected by, people whose filters mutually match yours. The first move is an invite they can simply decline.
