Overview
Locations (Green Light Mode) is designed for the moments that do not need a plan.
Instead of organizing an event, you simply signal that you're available at a specific place.
It's a lightweight way to say: "I'm here if anyone wants to join."
How It Works
Green Light Mode is simple:
- You set a location
- You turn your green light on
- Your circle can see that you're available
- People can choose to stop by
- You turn it off when you're no longer available
There's no scheduling, no RSVP, and no obligation.
What Makes It Different
Unlike Events:
- There's no fixed time
- There's no commitment required
- There's no coordination step
It's about presence, not planning.
Why Use Green Light Mode?
- You want to be social without organizing
- You're already somewhere and open to company
- You want to lower the barrier for people to connect
- You prefer flexible, drop-in interactions
When to Use Locations
Green Light Mode works best for:
- Backyard hangs
- Casual evenings at home
- Coffee shop visits
- Park meetups
- Co-working sessions
- Any situation where people can come and go freely
Examples
"I'm in the backyard, green light is on if anyone wants to swing by"
"Working from a cafe this morning if you want to join"
"At the park with the dog, come by if you're nearby"
