Met someone great and forgot their name a week later? Dislink keeps the people you meet together with the moment you met them. SCAN ONCE • Show your QR card or scan theirs. Name, role and links arrive in a second. • Dislink saves where and when you met, so you never have to type it. • Your QR card is ready even when the venue Wi-Fi isn't. REMEMBER THE MOMENT • Name the occasion: a design meetup, a birthday, a delayed flight. • Add private notes and a reminder to reconnect. • Note how you know them: friend, founder, climbing partner, investor. FIND ANYONE AGAIN • Search by name, company, city, venue or occasion. • Filter by circle, relationship, place and date. SHARE ON YOUR TERMS • Choose which links each person gets. Or share none. • Your notes, labels and reminders are only ever visible to you. • You decide who joins your network. • No ads. No follower counts. ONE LINK FOR ALL YOUR PROFILES • A public profile with the links you choose to show. • People you meet can connect with you from it, before they even install the app. TRAVEL MODE • Let the people you choose know which city you are in. Never your precise location. INVITE FRIENDS • Send a personal invitation link to the people you already know. Built for conferences, dinners, trips and every unexpected meeting worth keeping. Sign in with Apple, Google or email. Location access is needed to show a meeting QR card; camera access is used when you scan.
