Lidget
Read full descriptionHide full description
Lidget is a lightweight status-sharing app for friends. Lidget does not include messaging or chat features. It is not designed for meeting strangers or connecting with an unspecified public audience. Your status is shared only with friends you connect with by QR code or friend code. When you turn on "Free now," your friends can see that you may be easy to invite. You can also add an end time, an icon, or a short note to share a little more context. From the Home Screen widget, you can switch your availability with a single tap. Main features: - Sign in with Apple - See when friends are free - Share your own availability, end time, icon, and short note - Toggle your status from the Home Screen widget - Add friends with a QR code or friend code - Accept or decline friend requests - Edit your display name and profile photo - Block users and report issues - Delete your account from inside the app Lidget does not replace your usual messaging apps. It simply helps you know when someone may be easier to invite, so starting the conversation elsewhere feels lighter.
