## What is BetweenStops?

Between Stops is a calm place for adults to have temporary, topic-led conversations.

Start with a question, decision, feeling, story, or thought you actually want to discuss. Browse conversation topics instead of public profiles, choose how much time you can give, and meet someone in a shared space built around presence, consent, and safety.

Shared time only runs while both people are actively in the conversation. If either person steps away, locks their phone, loses connection, or leaves the screen, the conversation pauses until you are both back.

When the shared time ends, both people are asked privately whether they would like to exchange profiles. Profiles are revealed only if both people say yes. If either person says no, the conversation ends neutrally.

No visible rejection. No public follower counts. No swiping.

Between Stops is for moments like:

• A question you cannot stop thinking about
• A decision you want to talk through
• A Camino thought, train thought, or late-night thought
• A gentle conversation with someone outside your usual circle
• A short moment of honesty that does not need to become anything else

Built-in safety:

• 18+ only
• Community rules before use
• Anonymous during active conversations
• No contact details during anonymous chat
• Leave, report, and block controls
• Moderation tools for reported content
• Account deletion available in the app

Between Stops is not a dating app, not a video chat app, and not a place for adult or sexual chat. It is a slower, safer way to talk with someone for the space between here and there.
