Be part of the 1% overachiever club... ...if you're studying, ...working on your side-hustle, ...at a 9-5 or for yourself. Whatever it might be, Phated offers the good kind of peer pressure to keep you focused on your goals. • You're only visible to others when you're in the app & you can only see those who are also online (color bubble = your vibe). • If you leave the app to procrastinate, you'll disturb others (your bubble will disappear off the map). • Find a study buddy by sending someone a message - whether in your town or across the globe. • Personalize your profile and discover what others are working on. Maybe you can collaborate? • When you type (your profile prompt or in a chat), your vibe gets analyzed based on the way you move your phone while typing - not the texts or contents of your message. * • In chats, the vibe of each message gets a corresponding color bubble. • The map doesn't reflect your exact location position. It places you randomly relative to others, but within a certain radius. *You can manually adjust it, too.
