Greenlight is the best way to keep up with those who matter most to you. Think of Greenlight as a personal bat signal for your network that you pick who gets to see. Have 30 minutes waiting at your gate for a plane? Put up a Greenlight to your college friends or siblings to let them know you're around and can take a call from them. They might be walking their dog and would love to catch up! Want to catch a game later? Put a Greenlight to your local friends to let them know you want to check it out, and include a location if you have one in mind. No more texting 15 individual people and managing all those conversations. Greenlight was designed to be privacy first. You can send out your Greenlight to as few or as many people as you choose. And no one can send you a Greenlight without having your phone number. Greenlight was made for you to take advantage of your idle time (commuting, driving, walking, or just hanging out) and enabling you to do more with those that matter most to you.
