Presence

Open beta on iPhone

Know when your people are close.

You set when you can be found. Presence tells a friend you're close only at the place and time you both chose. No live map, no always-on tracking.

Claim your number

The closed beta is over. A friend's invite brings you straight in, and everyone else joins a few at a time.

iPhone only for now. On Android, or waiting for the App Store?

One note when it's ready. Reply to any of them to stop.

How it works

Right place, right time.

A rule

Say it in one sentence.

Pick a friend and you're done. Any part of the sentence opens to change it, and where and when stay out of the way until you want them.

Your friend says yes first. Nothing is shared until then.

A yes

Riley said yes. Your rule is live.

There's nothing more to do. Keep your phone with you, and Presence does the remembering for both of you.

Right place, right time

Jamie is nearby.

When a friend's rule finds you close, you hear about it. Say you're here, or not now. Jamie learns nothing about where you are until you say hi.

Being told never gives a friend away.

Say hi

Say hi, and a thread opens for two hours.

Make a plan, or just wave. When the two hours are up, the thread closes on its own.

Home

A glance is enough.

Home shows who's near right now and what each of them sees. Pause everything with one tap, for as long as you choose.

A door, held for you.
