## What is Hotline?

Hotline is for the moment you notice someone.

Everyone on your map is nearby and online right now. No bios, no names, no endless scrolling. Just five pictures, how far away they are, and how long they've been here.

Feel a pull? Pull the string with your thumb. They're only told that someone nearby pulled it, never who. If they pull back, it's meant to be, and the string appears between you.

Then one five-minute call decides whether you keep talking. When a woman and a man match, she makes the first call; otherwise either of you can. You have 24 hours to make it, your phone number stays private, and the call is never recorded.

After the call, you each decide in private whether to keep the string. If you both do, you get seven days of voice notes to get to know each other. No typing, just your voices.

Made with care:
• Your location is rounded to about 200 meters and never shown. People only see how far away you are.
• A real person looks at every new profile before it goes live.
• Pictures leave your phone without their location or camera details.
• Block or report anyone from their profile, the match screen or the chat. Blocking is silent.
• Delete your account any time from the Me tab.

Hotline is for adults 18 and over, opening in San Francisco and New York.

It's meant to be.
