## What is The Porch Light App?

Porch Light helps you stay connected with the people who matter most through quick, spontaneous calls.

Turn on your porch light when you're free to chat. Friends see your light and know you're available. Knock on their door, and they'll get a call. No scheduling, no texting back and forth — just real conversations when you're both ready.

Features:
- Porch Light status — show friends when you're free
- Autocall — call friends when both of you are free.
- Circles — group your closest people
- Quiet Hours — set times you don't want to be disturbed
- Auto Porch Light — automatically turn on when you're home

Built for your inner circle of 10-20 people, not hundreds of followers. Less social media, more real connection.
