## What is WhosFree?

WhosFree is the proximity finder that solves the hardest part of friendship: actually meeting up. 
We believe that the best social interactions are spontaneous, not scheduled weeks in advance.

THE PROBLEM We all have friends nearby, but we end up sitting at home because we don't know they are free. Texting "What are you doing?" to ten different people is tedious. Scheduling coffee takes more effort than drinking it.

THE SOLUTION WhosFree acts as a real-time scanner for your social life.

    Open: By simply opening WhosFree, you signal to your network that you are available.

    Scan: Watch as the screen pulses and friends' avatars pop up relative to their distance from you.

    Connect: Tap an avatar to send a quick nudge or chat and turn a digital signal into a physical meetup.

KEY FEATURES

Visual Proximity Forget complex maps or tracking. WhosFree uses a clean, distance-based interface. Friends appear as avatars floating on your screen—the closer they are physically, the closer they appear to you digitally.

Live Availability No status updates required. Your presence is your status. You only see friends who are active right now, ensuring that every avatar you see represents someone actually looking to hang out.

Low-Friction Chat Skip the small talk. Our chat is designed for logistics. Send a "Coffee?" or "Drinks?" nudge to get straight to the point.

Privacy First WhosFree is for friends, not strangers. You only appear to people you have connected with, and because there is no street map, your exact location remains private until you choose to share it.

WHO IS THIS FOR? • The spontaneous friend who hates calendars. • The traveler who wants to see who happens to be in the same city. • The digital nomad looking for a co-working buddy. • Anyone who wants to turn downtime into social time.

Stop missing out on your friends. Download WhosFree and see who pops up around you.
