## What is Callable?

You know the feeling. Maybe you're driving home, going for a walk, or just have a quiet moment and you think, "I wonder who's free for a chat".
But you don't know who's free right now, let alone wanting to chat too! Plus, you don't want to interrupt anyone if they're busy. So you hesitate, the moment passes, and the call doesn't happen.

Callable is built for exactly that moment.

How it works
When you feel like connecting, you go callable. Add a quick note like "Driving home, call me" and choose who you want to hear from. If it suits them, they get a gentle nudge. If they're free too, starting a call is one tap.

It's a simple way to say: "I'm free for a bit, and I'd love to hear from you."

Why it works
Most of us don't avoid calling because we don't care. We avoid it because we don't want to interrupt, and we never know when it's a good time.
Callable removes the guesswork. It turns "we should catch up" into a real conversation, right when you both have the headspace for it.

What you get
- Go callable when the urge hits, or schedule it for later.
- Choose who sees your status: friends, family, work, support circles.
- See who else is free and feels like talking.
- Start calls using the apps you already use: phone, FaceTime, WhatsApp, Signal, and more.
- Time zone syncing, so it's easier to catch overlap across the world.
- Quiet hours and notification controls, so it stays respectful.

This is REAL Social
Callable is not a feed. It's not about followers or performance. It's about real conversations with the people you actually know.

- Your relationships are not the product. They are the point.
- No ads. No engagement algorithms. No dark patterns.
- We don't sell your data. To anyone.
- We don't optimize for time-in-app. We optimize for real conversations.

Made for
- Busy friends who want "we should catch up" to turn into perfectly-timed voice conversations.
- Parents and carers who want to use the pockets between responsibilities.
- Long-distance families and couples who want to make time zones feel smaller.
- Old friends who've drifted and want an easy way back.
- Support circles who want to offer clear moments for check-ins.
- Remote teammates who want quick syncs without the scheduling dance.
- Anyone who gets that urge to connect and wants it to actually lead somewhere.

Version 2.0.2 brings Callable deeper into iPhone and makes planning calls much easier.

- Callable Zones. Save places like home or work and let Callable prompt you, or automatically set you callable when you arrive or leave.
- Call Requests and scheduled calls. Ask for time, propose slots, lock in a time to talk, and jump back in when the call starts.
- Live Activity on iPhone. See your active Callable window on the Lock Screen with a live countdown and quick controls.
- Scheduled availability. Set one-off or repeating windows ahead of time so people know when you’ll be free.
