circle(s)
presence
over performance.
A calm layer for tiny trusted circles. Know how your people are, send a nudge, share a photo — without the noise of a social app.
your people, at a glance
No feed. No scroll. Just a soft sense of how the people closest to you are doing right now.
ambient orbs
Each person in your circle has an orb. Its colour and glow reflect their mood and activity — no words required.
circles
Organise your people into circles — close friends, family, whoever. Control what each circle can see.
nudges & threads
Send a nudge in one tap. Add a message or photo if you want. Replies build into a quiet thread between the two of you.
say more by saying less
A nudge is not a notification demanding a reply. It's a quiet signal that lands in a shared conversation thread — add a message or photo if you want, or just send the nudge and leave it at that.
threaded
Nudges build into a quiet conversation thread between the two of you.
no pressure
Acknowledge with an emoji, reply, or just let it land. All equally fine.
it fades
The active nudge layer clears after 12 hours. The thread stays.
built differently,
on purpose
Most social apps are designed to keep you inside them. circle(s) is designed to let you leave in seconds, feeling slightly more connected than when you arrived.
There is nothing to scroll. circle(s) is not trying to capture your attention.
Nothing to perform for. Presence is not content.
Care shouldn't be a habit to maintain. It should be something you feel.
Everything in the app is optional. Send a nudge. Or don't. Acknowledge it. Or don't.
