About

Remember when a lit porch meant someone was home, and you could just stop by? Porch Light brings that back — for your your friends, your family, your community and anyone you want to stay connected with. Features: - Porch Light — Friends see it and know they can reach you. You don't have to manage it, it turns on when you're home - like an actual porch light. - Home Light — automatically turn on your Porch Light when you're home and driving but not during sleep hours or when your calendar is busy. - Sit on the Porch — Friends see it and know you are "in the mood to connect" — but this one's manual not automatic, like sitting on the porch with a lemonade to share. - Circles — For the groups you want to stay close to — family, a support group, a mastermind. Different streets, same neighborhood. Glance down, see who's free. - Daily Ring — It automatically calls you, then whoever you've gone weeks without talking to when both your lights are on — like ringing the doorbell of a neighbor you'd like to catch up with. Research links short daily calls to real gains in mood and connection. - Knock the Block — Some things can't wait for one porch light to be on. This runs down the street and knocks on every door, one after another, until someone answers. Built for your inner circle of 10-20 people, not hundreds of followers. Less social media, more real connection.

What's New in The Porch Light App

2.2.59

October 27, 2026

1. One light. You now have a single porch light, and Family / Friends / Contacts decide who sees it. 2. Smart reminders. At home, in the car or while scrolling, you get a lock-screen card asking whether to turn your light on, instead of it turning on by itself. There are no cards during quiet hours. 3. Light streak. Your Home streak counts the days you turn your light on yourself. 4. Scroll timer. When you open a watched app, a "How long?" screen asks for 5, 10 or 15 minutes, or no timer. 5. Friends. Tap a friend for their page, or hold to call or text. Their settings are right on the page. 6. Circle events. Set a one-time or repeating event, with a shared room. 7. Simpler setup for new users.
