Instant Status vs Lidget

Instant Status is the simplest way to share what you're up to with the people who matter. No feeds. No chats. No noise. One tap tells your friends if you're free, focused, or asleep, and the same for them. REAL-TIME STATUSES Set your status in one tap: busy, available, sleeping, in a meeting, or anything in between. Friends see the update instantly. Statuses can auto-expire so you never forget to clear them. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS See your friends without opening the app. Beautiful widgets show the people you care about right on your home screen, refreshing in the background. INVITE-ONLY FRIENDS Friends-only by design. No public discovery, no strangers, no random adds. You connect by sharing an invite link, and you can disconnect anytime. PRIVACY-FIRST No direct messaging. No photo or video uploads. No public profiles. Instant Status shares only your current status, with the friends you choose. FREE TO USE Instant Status is free to download and use. Set your status, connect with friends, see what they're up to, and use the home screen widget. No subscription required. INSTANT STATUS PRO Pro unlocks unlimited custom statuses with your own labels and colors, premium aesthetic widget themes, and a higher friend capacity. Try Pro free for 7 days on the yearly plan.

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.
