## What is Anchors?

Anchors is the easiest way to get friends together.

Say the plan: coffee, hoops, a comedy show, a rooftop, Broadway, or anything else. Pick a time and how many spots there are, and you're done. Your friends get a notification and can join with one tap.

HOW IT WORKS
• Post a plan in three taps, from 100+ ideas or your own
• Your friends get pinged right away, or just one circle like Family or Hoops crew
• Turn on friends of friends when you want a bigger group
• The moment someone joins, a group chat opens
• Can't make it? Send a friendly reply like "Another time?" instead of leaving people on read
• Share photos and your location in the chat
• When the plan ends, the chat clears, and you can keep the crew: next time, one tap sends them a new plan

MADE FOR REAL FRIENDS
• Invite-only: everyone here was invited by a friend
• Every friendship is approved by both people
• Sign in with Apple or an email code, no passwords
• Plans only reach the people you choose
• Your city is added automatically; your exact location is only shared when you choose
• Report or block anyone, anytime

Stop asking "who's around?" Say the plan, and your people show up.
