to be loved is to be considered. buggg shows you when your friends are actually free and what they want to do. No more scheduling olympics, and guessing who is free and what they would be down to do. Just buggg them when they are online and make place. Reaching out to friends got weird. We overthink it. We wait for the perfect time. We let good friendships fade because coordinating feels like work. buggg removes that friction. You see your close friends’ real time availability. You tap to buggg them for coffee, tacos, a walk, a workout, or just to catch up. No feeds. No algorithms. No annoying ads. Just your close friends.
