TingTong Bell

TingTong is a doorbell that rings one person's phone instead of a whole house. You arrive at a friend's door. You tap their name. Their phone rings with a doorbell chime. That is the whole app. No message. No voice note. No content of any kind. A ring carries one piece of information: someone you know is at your door. Why it exists: - A doorbell is a broadcast. - You wanted to reach one person and instead you woke a napping baby, interrupted a work call, or startled a grandparent asleep in the afternoon. - You had one thing to say, I am here, and the only tool available announced it to everyone. - TingTong keeps the sound and removes the audience. How it works: - Share your six character code with a friend. - They send a request. You decide whether to accept. Only then can either of you ring the other. - Tap their bell. - Their phone chimes. That is it. Quiet hours: - Set a window when your bell stays silent. - Friends see a moon next to your name, so they know before they ring. - Anyone who came by still shows up in Came by, so you know who was there. What TingTong does not do: - No feed. No profiles. No follower counts. No suggestions. No streaks. - The friend list is a list, not a network to grow. - The app never notifies you about itself. - No phone number. No address book. No location.
