Start. vs getping!

Start is the social media app that flips the script. Instead of endless scrolling, you unlock your feed by creating something first. Every day, you’ll get a 5-minute timer. When you’re ready, hit start, put your phone down, and create something in the real world. Draw, write, build, play music—anything. When you’re done, share it and discover what others made. No passive scrolling. No mindless consumption. Just real creativity.

ping! helps you share who you are and remember who you meet. Share your profile with a ping! ring, QR code, or link. On a compatible iPhone, recipients can use the App Clip to save your contact without installing the full app or creating an account. Other supported phones can open your profile in a browser. YOUR PROFILE Add your photo, role, company, location, bio, and the links you choose to share. YOUR NETWORK Keep the contacts you choose to add, record where you met, organize relationship notes, and plan follow-ups. Explore contacts with saved meeting locations on a map. SAVE, THEN CHOOSE TO SHARE Recipients can review a prefilled contact form and save it to iPhone Contacts. Sharing their information back to you is optional. When someone chooses to share, their details are added to your Ping network. YOU CONTROL YOUR DATA Choose which contacts to import. Optional AI assistance can be turned off in Settings. The app includes privacy controls, help and feedback, and account deletion. HOW IT WORKS 1. Create your profile. 2. Share it using a link, QR code, or programmed ping! ring. 3. Follow up with the people who choose to connect. A ping! ring is required only for the physical ring-tap feature. Your profile and network work without one. NFC sharing requires a compatible phone and internet access.
