plinq is a minimal way to tell someone you thought of them. you ping someone you know. they get a signal. that’s it: no messages, no reactions, no feed. what it means is up to you two. how it works • create your profile with a username and, if you like, a photo. • find someone by their exact username or by scanning their QR. • once you accept each other, you can ping with one tap. • ping back straight from the notification, even from your Apple Watch. made to stay calm • only people who accept each other connect. • remove, block or report anyone at any time. • your email is never shown to anyone. • delete your account and data from inside the app. ping your people.
