Our Story

The Problem

We’re More Connected Than Ever—Yet More Lonely Than Ever.

Loneliness is at crisis levels. According to the U.S. Surgeon General, loneliness is as harmful as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, increasing the risk of serious mental and physical health issues.
People are too busy to maintain friendships. A 2024 APA study found that 30% of adults feel lonely at least once a week, and 10% feel lonely every single day.

We all say the same things:

“We should catch up soon!” (…but never set a date)
“I’m so bad at keeping in touch.”
“I meant to reach out, but life got in the way.”
“Everyone’s busy, so what’s the point of trying?”

The truth? Friendships don’t fade because we stop caring. They fade because life gets hectic, planning is hard, and social energy is limited.

Our Mission

Our mission is to revolutionize social connection by making it effortless for friends to meet, engage, and nurture their relationships. Through AI-powered scheduling, dynamic social features, and personalized recommendations, our app seamlessly integrates social wellness into everyday life, helping users strengthen friendships, create meaningful experiences, and combat the loneliness epidemic.

We believe:

Friendships shouldn’t depend on who remembers to text first.
Plans shouldn’t fall apart just because schedules are hectic.
Technology should bring people together in real life—not just on screens.
