## What is Recess?

You do not need to be “social.” You just need people you like.

Recess is a place to keep up with the people you actually care about and make plans to see them.

Share the little things throughout your week. Photos, videos, random thoughts, whatever has been going on. No pressure to post every day. On Friday, everyone’s Life Updates open so you can catch up in one place.

Then go do something.

FRIDAY IS FOR CATCHING UP
See what your friends have been up to without keeping up with an endless feed all week. 

TURN “SOON” INTO AN ACTUAL PLAN
Coffee. A walk. Game night. Coworking. Dinner. Sitting on someone’s couch. Create a Recess, invite your people, and make it happen.

SHARE THE LITTLE THINGS
Build your Life Update throughout the week with photos, videos, and text. Share as much or as little as you want and it will publish on Friday.

KEEP YOUR PEOPLE CLOSE
Make private contact groups for your best friends, family, coworkers, hometown friends, or whoever else makes up your life. Only you can see your groups.

PROOF YOU ACTUALLY DID STUFF
Look back on the Life Updates and Recesses that made up your year.

No pressure to perform. No need to be online all day. Just your friends, their lives, and more reasons to see each other.

Go see your friends.
