## What is HereNow Social?

HereNow shows you who is actually out, right now, at the places near you.

Check in at a bar, a coffee shop, a music venue. See who else is there. Meet them in person.

That is the whole idea. No swiping. No messaging strangers. No profiles to browse at 2am from your couch.

HOW IT WORKS

Check in when you arrive somewhere. You become visible to the other people checked in at that venue, and only for as long as you are there. Leave, and you disappear.

Set your Social Mode so people know why you are out: Friends, Networking, Dating, or Just Vibes.

Set your Mood so people know how approachable you feel right now: Open, Selective, or Not Today. Not Today is a real boundary, not a suggestion. It hides you from tags, requests, and messages entirely.

When you actually meet someone in person, you both tap We Met. That is the only thing that unlocks messaging. Nobody can message you because they liked your photo.

NO WEIRD ENERGY

You are only visible to people in the same place at the same time.
You cannot be searched, browsed, or looked up by strangers.
Messages only open after you both confirm you met in real life.
Conversations expire on their own, and there is no archive.
Every boundary you set is enforced by the app, so you never have to be the one who says no.

FOR THE NIGHT, THEN GONE

Pulse posts and venue chat last only as long as the night does. When you check out, you get an Afterglow: a short recap of where you were, how long you stayed, and who you met.

Most of what happens here is meant to be lived, not archived.

FOR VENUES

If you run a bar, a cafe, or a music venue, HereNow gives your regulars a reason to show up and a way to find each other. Post to your venue's Pulse, run events, market and promote to users and see anonymous crowd data. Never individual identity, never personal information.

HereNow is free.

Now live in Nashville.
