Meet someone. Remember the moment. Dislink helps you keep the people you meet in real life, with the context that makes each connection matter. From a conference conversation to a chance encounter, turn a quick introduction into someone you can find again. CONNECT WITH A QR CODE Show your personal QR card or scan someone else's. Review the connection, choose what to share, and save the person to People. Each person makes their own choices independently. YOUR PEOPLE, WITH CONTEXT Keep your connections in one place. Find people by name, organise them into circles, and filter by where or when you met. Meeting context helps you remember more than a name. CHOOSE WHAT YOU SHARE Build your profile with your work, interests and selected social links. Choose what to share with each connection, including the option to share nothing beyond your public profile. Your choices stay yours. REMEMBER THE DETAILS Add private notes and follow-up reminders to a contact. Keep the useful details from a conversation and give yourself a reason to reconnect. YOUR CARD, READY WHEN YOU NEED IT Prepare your QR card while online and use eligible saved cards offline at the same location. Previously saved People can also remain available offline on your device. A SIMPLE PLACE TO START People keeps your connections together. Scan starts a new connection. You is where you shape your profile and sharing preferences. Sign in with Apple, Google or email. Location access is needed to show a meeting QR card; camera access is used when you scan. You control which profile details you share.
