Ringable is the calmest way to know when friends are free to talk. One big switch: flip it green when you're available, red when you're not. Friends you've connected with see your status instantly so a call happens when it actually suits both of you. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No phone number, email, or password. Friendships are mutual: nobody sees your status until you accept their request Hide your availability from any individual friend whenever you like Statuses auto-expire after 30 minutes, so you're never shown as "free" by mistake SIMPLE ON PURPOSE Ringable is for the people you actually talk to: close friends, family, long-distance partners. Share your ID and start talking at the right time.
