How it works

Five steps to who's around.

No setup marathon, no algorithm to feed. You're seeing your friends' presence within a minute of opening the app.

  1. 01

    Pick a screen name

    Claim your handle — DialUpDan, SurfPunk_99, whatever feels like you. Add a bio and a few interests. No real name required, no profile photo pressure.

    Add your six

    Search a friend's screen name and add them to a buddy group — Family, Friends, Co-workers. You only get six slots, so the people who make the cut actually matter.

    Set your status

    Flip yourself to free, or leave an away message: “out for a run, back at 6.” Pick a color, fire it off. Your buddies see it the second it changes.

    Watch the dots

    Your buddy list sorts by who's around. Gray means later, green means now. When a friend goes green, you feel that old after-school spark.

    Tap to talk

    Send a quick IM, drop a heart, or — when someone's green — tap once to start a FaceTime. The whole point was never the typing. It was hearing each other.
