Broach

Read full description

A friend, a romantic partner, a job, a new customer or contact, new community, an opportunity, a life lesson or the inspiration to do something wonderful. But the stress of life often stops us from reaching out. Meeting new people can take up too much time, effort or money. Uncertainty about others’ willingness to talk makes it hard to start conversations. And there's no way to know who we'd most appreciate talking to. Broach is an app to help solve these problems. It creates easy opportunities to meet new people in daily life. It uses bluetooth to help avoid awkwardness when talking to someone for the first time. It'll pair you with people most likely to inspire you. This is how it works: 1) In the Broach app, you can turn β€œbroadcasting” on or off whenever you like. 2) Go about your day as normal. 3) When two broadcasting phones get within 10-30m of one another, the phones notice each other. 4) Broach predicts whether or not the two people would appreciate talking to each other. If yes... 5) Both phones vibrate and show a notification: an β€œInvitation to broach!” 6) You can choose to accept the invitation or ignore it. 7) If both people accept, then the phones send their names and pictures to the other person’s phone 8) The two people can now recognise each other, and have a conversation in real life. Nobody can judge you for your online profile, because nobody can see your profile without meeting you first in real life. Nobody can harass you, or single you out, because nobody can choose to meet a particular person using Broach. Nobody even knows that you have Broach, unless they have Broach too and they broach with you. If you have any other ideas for improvement or want to collaborate, please reach out to isaac.broacher.feldman@gmail.com . I’d find suggestions and advice very valuable.

A picture paints a thousand words, and we can't type a thousand words friends every week, or every day! But we can take a photo to share with them, and we can have a space where they can view it in their own time, and share with us when they can. In app photos are used to keep photos real and genuine. Older memories can be uploaded, but they can't be screenshots or generated images - they have to be genuine photos taken by you. Add your favourite photos to you profile, or view all memories in a grid or calendar layout, along with your own custom timeline where you and your friends can see the last 15 days that you have posted. Separate close friends with new connections - connections only see posts as far back as two weeks, where as friends have full access to all photos on your profile. Tired of receiving loads of notifications for every small app event. Toggle on Singular Notifications, to receive one and only ONE notification when there is activity to see in the app - stay in the know without drowning in alerts. Only exact usernames can be searched to find a specific person. Profiles are not public, only friends or connections can click on and see your profile. Lifetime is designed to help you keep in touch with the people closest to you and the people you meet along the walk of life. We hope it finds value to you.
