We're Deaf. We built the app we wanted to use. Your phone calls, your conversations, and your community, in one place. CONNECT — your calls Call anyone through VRS, with a certified ASL interpreter on screen. This is your phone service, not a favor. There's no charge to you — VRS is paid for through the federal TRS fund. No explaining yourself first. No hoping the person on the other end knows how relay works. You dial, and you have the conversation. Your call history follows your account, not one device. Tap any call to call back. Need an interpreter in the room instead? VRI puts one on screen for an appointment, a meeting, or anywhere the conversation has to happen in person. CONTACTS — bring your people with you Import straight from your phone, or a CSV on the web. Favorite the people you call most. Duplicates merge on their own. Your contacts and your call history are tied to your account, not to one device, so they are there wherever you sign in. CHAT — message your people Text or video message anyone on Tive. Signing to a signer needs nobody in between. MIX — your feed The part of Tive that isn't a phone call. Post what's on your mind, follow who you want, and see what everyone's up to. HUB — Deaf news News, events, and resources, pulled from the sources the community already reads. WHO CAN USE VRS VRS is for people who use sign language to make phone calls. We walk you through registration. Mix, Chat, and Hub are open to everyone. Questions: support@tivetechnology.com

Misd helps you discover the people and places around you that you've missed. It uses a technology we call Moments® to find interactions you’ve made with others you’ve crossed paths with in real life. As you use the app and explore the map, you'll see people you've met through the places you visit most. If you both have Misd, we'll connect you. NO NAME? NO NUMBER? NO PROBLEM! Misd helps you find them. INVITE-ONLY We're currently invite-only so we can make sure your map is filled with others who are looking to make connections too. This gives us room to grow, build better features, and make sure you have the best possible experience when you get access. We're also handing out codes regularly, so ask around if you're interested in getting in early on Misd! MOMENTS Misd is smart! Our Moments® technology places the people we think are most likely to be an authentic connection at the top of the list on your map. Explore every location you've been to, and if there's a true match, you'll find it here. Add the ones that matter and ignore the rest. Whether it's a bar, the bus home, or a work conference, Misd removes the "what if?" BUZZ See a feed with images and videos from people around you in your local area, browse entertaining posts that are going viral across the world, or comment and interact with the content and people you've found across Misd. You'll see content you're interested in and categories you actually care about. MESSAGING Private message friends and new connections. Send interesting content you find in Buzz to others you've interacted with across the app. Messaging stays private between you and the person you're messaging. Did you meet someone on the Moments® map? Send them a private message and get to know each other! CREATE Upload your own 60-second videos or add a photo and have them appear on Buzz. Change the title and edit the description to express yourself in unique ways. Others can interact with, comment on, and share your posts. Who knows, maybe your next video goes viral. What will others buzz about you? PASSPORT ID Update your profile and make your Passport ID unique to you. Add your ethnicity, generation, gender, and more. Others across Misd and the Moments® map can find and filter this info to better identify you as you make genuine moments with others. You can hide or show as much of this as you like. KARMA AND CLOUT Build Karma for everything you do on Misd. You'll level up and climb the Clout leaderboard in your local area. Later, these points will unlock cool new features and partnerships. For now, you'll earn new badges to flex across the app depending on how much Karma you earn each month. Beware: Clout resets monthly to give everyone a chance to show off! SAFETY FEATURES Hide your personal locations from ever creating Moments® with others, choose how long it takes after you leave a location before someone can connect with you, and have your profile automatically switch to private. Misd was built from the ground up with safety in mind. We work hard to make abuse difficult and give you the freedom to use Misd and its safety features how you choose. DATA PRIVACY We take your data and security very seriously! We don't collect ANYTHING from you that we don't absolutely need to make Misd work. Even then, we find creative ways to help make what you give us secure. You can view more information below. Terms of Service: https://www.misd.co/terms-of-service Privacy Policy: https://www.misd.co/privacy-policy Contact us. We love to chat!: https://www.misd.co/contact Currently, Misd requires users to be at least 17 years old to help keep children safe, with future updates planned for parental tools and age-related features.
