Hapiton finds the right person nearby, makes the introduction, and brings you together. Real life. Literally, in seconds. Here’s how Hapiton works for you: Compass Chat Tell Hapiton what you're looking for. When it finds someone, it tells you about them and opens a conversation. Sometimes it reaches out on its own, when someone is right. You’ll only be notified of messages once you’ve replied to them, so there's no spam. Not a fit? Unmatch, and tell Hapiton what was off so it does better next time. Compass Moment Go to one of our meeting zones, likely somewhere you already go. When someone nearby seems right, Hapiton reaches out to you both. If you both say yes, your compasses activate and guide you to each other. A real conversation with a real person, in seconds. Privacy and control Your exact location is never visible to anyone until both people say yes to meeting. You decide when the compass is on, and can turn it off anytime in settings. You can delete your account and all your data with one tap. Why Hapiton We're a public benefit corporation. Our mission is to rebuild human interaction in real life, not to maximize the time you spend staring at a screen. Free during our pilot. Questions? Email support@hapiton.online. A real person reads every message. Born from the silence that ended when someone said hello.
