Description Noticed You is designed to connect people who have experienced a ‘mutual notice’ in public and allows them to interact via messaging directly through the site. The site is free to join but upgradeable features can be purchased as well. The following are descriptions of features throughout the site: Profile Users will be able to create a profile which will have the option to post a profile photo, cover photo and basic info about the user. Favorites Users will be able to favorite other members and can also be favorited by others. Photos Users will be able to post 8 photos as free members but can post an additional 8 photos as upgraded members. Photos can be cropped. Photo Album In addition to photos, users will be able to post photos to a Photo Album, essentially grouping photos in one location. Messaging Users will be able to message each other, block users and delete conversations. Online Users There is a button located throughout the site which allows users to view other members that are currently online within a 30-mile radius of the users’ zip code. Usernames Users will create a ‘username’ at their discretion. Noticed You does not require that users use their own personal names as their username. Find Who Noticed You The find who noticed you feature is unique in that it allows users to locate the person with whom they experienced a ‘mutual notice.’ When attempting to locate a person the user simply will use the filters which include State, City, Specific Location and Key Identifiers. Key Identifiers are any descriptive item of clothing that either person was wearing during the mutual notice. Note: key identifiers can be items other than clothing, it can be a vehicle as well or anything that will assist in identifying e.g., Key Identifiers can look like this: Blue Dress, White Car, Black Pants. Free users will be able to use 3 Key Identifier filters. Upgraded members will be allowed to use an additional 3 filters for a total of 6 and will also be allowed to search using a Username filter as well. Upgradeable feature buttons such as Username Search, Additional Key Identifiers and Additional Photos are shaded in gray and once clicked the user will be redirected to the Payment Options page. Users will be able to search by Distance by inputting miles in increments of 10 miles with a max of 80 miles. Users can also search by Age Range. Note: It is not necessary to have noticed someone in public to browse other singles on the site. Edit Identifiers When editing identifiers, a user must enter as many details as possible in the Edit Identifiers page. The idea is that the person that they noticed will also enter a few matching details (details do not all need to match), in hopes of returning the person they noticed during their search. Key Identifiers, State, City, Specific Location and Zip Code editable fields on the Edit Identifiers page. Zip Code: The entered zip code here will allow the user to be displayed in other member searches. For example, when a user searches by zip code, when being displayed on the Photo Slider on the main page and in Online Users. 48-hour Wipe of fields: After 48 hours of inactivity on this page, a users’ information will be deleted. The reason behind this is to ensure that the user is actively using this feature and not returning in user searches while not using the service. Photo Slider As new members begin populating the site, the photo slider on the main page will display members of the opposite sex within a 90-mile radius. This is a trial and can be adjusted to a shorter distance by Noticed You. Note: Prior to becoming a member and when a person is just deciding whether to create a profile or not, both male and female members will be displayed on the photo slider. Up to 40 members will be displayed on the Photo Slider. Terms of Use: https://noticedyou.com/terms-and-agreement/

Recap is a private, distraction-free space for close friend groups to share weekly highlights, stay connected, and build long-lasting memories together — no public feeds, no follower counts, no algorithm. **How it works** Every week, write a short recap of your life: add photos with captions, pick a mood, tag the week, and share it with one or more private groups of friends. Your friends do the same. You see each other's weeks in a calm, chronological feed — newest first, exactly as posted, never reordered by an algorithm. **Built for real friendship, not engagement** - **Private groups:** Create groups of up to 20 friends and invite them with a code. No public profiles, no discovery by strangers — only people you invite see your recaps. - **Weekly cadence:** A gentle Sunday-evening reminder nudges everyone to share before the week ends. No streaks-for-points pressure; streaks just celebrate consistency. - **Memory look-backs:** Flashback cards surface a moment from a year ago so old weeks don't disappear into the scroll. - **Shared albums & comments:** React with emojis, comment on each other's weeks, and browse everything a group has shared in one album. **Stay connected your way** - **Direct messages:** Chat one-on-one with friends, with photos, separate from the weekly feed. - **Mood & tags:** Capture how the week actually felt and what it was about — work, travel, family, rest. - **Notifications you control:** Turn likes, comments, friend requests, weekly reminders, and memory look-backs on or off independently. **Private by design** - **No public content.** Everything you share lives inside a group you chose to join. - **Sign in with Apple** supported, plus email. - **You own your data.** Export everything you've shared anytime, or permanently delete your account and all its content in two taps. - **Safety tools.** Report or block anyone, and our team reviews reports promptly. - **No ads, no selling data.** We don't advertise and we don't sell your information. Recap keeps your closest people close — one week at a time.
