## What is Blimp?

Blimp is the quietest way to stay close. Everyone shares one tiny status, a Blimp: a few words and a colored dot, like "Coffee with Sam" or "Flying to Tokyo". Your people see it on their Home Screen widget, without opening anything. You see theirs.

No feed. No likes. No scrolling. Just a glance at what everyone's up to.

SAY IT IN A FEW WORDS
- Up to 30 characters and a color. Change it whenever you like.
- Quick Blimps: one tap for the ones you use every day. The first one changes with the time of day.
- Update right from the widget, with Siri, Shortcuts or the Action button.

GLANCE, DON'T SCROLL
- Small, medium and large widgets show your people's latest Blimps.
- Fresh Blimps stand out; older ones fade a little and show how long ago they were set.
- Pin the people you care about most to the top of your widget.

ONLY THE PEOPLE YOU CHOOSE
- Nobody can search for you. People connect by sharing a code, and a PIN keeps it to people you tell.
- Groups: join with one code and you're connected with everyone in it. Each group has its own animated scene: a campfire, a galaxy, an arcade, a running track and more.
- Mute, remove, block or report anyone. Nobody is told.

CHEER THEM ON
- Tap someone's Blimp to cheer it. They see how many cheers they got, never from whom.
- Send your group heart and muscle for the day.

YOUR TRAIL
- Every Blimp you set is kept in your private Trail, grouped by day. Only you see it.
