## What is Glancy?

Glancy is a new messaging app which delivers Video and Text messaging in a familiar experience. 

With Glancy, you can:

* Send video messages to friends which are “linked”, meaning Glancy begins recording a response immediately after a video is watched. The outcome is truly authentic conversation as if you were in person. You can, of course, chose to end the video conversation and not send a video response.

* Send photos and see your recipient watching and reacting to them. This is an amazing way to see people enjoy content you share and comment on it as they swipe through the photos.

* Send Text Messages and attach reaction emojis to those messages. This includes support for group chats.

* Send photos without requiring reactions to be recorded

Glancy works with contacts on your phone. If your contact is on Glancy, they will show up as someone you can message. Alternatively, you can (and should!) invite your friends to join Glancy.

When you send a video message, that is called a “Glancy”. When you’re sending Glancies back and forth, we keep track of the Glancy-Streak. If someone decides to end the conversation, the Glancy-Streak ends.

We’re working on adding features and improving the experience. Please share any feedback on the app by emailing hello@glancy.io.

Thank you for your support and Happy Glancy-ing!
