Every hangout, remembered. Put your phone face down. Spend real time with your friends. Then turn the moment into a memory you can keep. minti is a social app for real life. It helps friends spend meaningful time together and keeps a record of the moments that make your friendship yours. Because your friendship is more than likes, followers, photos, or messages. - It’s the first time you met. - The late-night study session. - The BBQ party. - The random Tuesday night. - The ups, the downs, and everything in between. Your shared story deserves a place of its own. HOW MINTI WORKS 1. FLIP Start a session and invite your friends to join. When everyone is ready, put your phones face down and start the timer. 2. CAPTURE Be there, together. The timer counts the meaningful time you spend together, whether you're talking, laughing, studying, celebrating, or simply enjoying being in the same place. When you're done, take photos together to capture the moment. 3. DRAW Turn the moment into a candy. Each session becomes a candy you shared with your friends. Come back each day to draw one, collect your memories, and watch your friendship history grow. YOUR FRIENDSHIP HISTORY Every session becomes part of your shared story. Open a friend's profile and look back at the time you've spent together. - See how much life you've shared. - Remember where your story began. - Find the moments you almost forgot. The more time you share, the more of your friendship you keep & memories remembered. MORE THAN A SOCIAL APP Most social products are built around feeds, followers, likes, and content. minti is built around something simpler: time together. Instead of scrolling through everyone else's lives, gather your people and make a memory of your own. We hope minti becomes the place you find the people you call friends in real life. Enjoy the sweets. :) Say hi anytime: founders@circlefive.co
