Keep the light on.
A porch light means come by anytime. Turn yours on when you're around, and your closest people know it's a good time to call. No feed, no audience — just connection.
Ha! You wanted dirt on Jake?
Here it is. He kept saying “we should catch up” and “let's hang out” …and never did.
Be a better friend than Jake.
Let your friends know when you're actually free to talk.

A porch light means come by anytime. Turn yours on when you're around, and your closest people know it's a good time to call. No feed, no audience — just connection.
Life gets full. You think of someone you care about, but you never quite know if it's a good time to call — so you text first, and wait. Or you don't. Weeks slip by. Months. Porch Light was built to change that.
Some nights you're in the mood for company. Hold your light down and it glows — a quiet way of saying you can call me, I'd love that
, no pressure either way. Like stepping out onto the porch to see who's around.
Your porch light is the one you control. Home Light is the one that just knows — on the moment you're home, on for the drive, off for quiet hours and a packed calendar. Like the light your neighbors see, the one that just means you're home.
Make as many circles as you need — family, a support group checking in on each other, an accountability group that actually shows up. Open it, see whose light is on, and call. Like knowing which porch lights are lit on a street in your neighborhood.

Onboarding, and how your light turns on and off around your day.
Your light comes on the moment you get home — so your people know you've landed and you're free to talk.
Block out dinner, bedtime, the moments that are yours. Your light stays dark and nothing comes through — so downtime stays downtime.
Your light dims itself when your calendar says busy — so a call never pulls you out of a meeting.
Your light switches on for hands-free drives — turning your commute into time to actually catch up.
Your light turns on while you're scrolling — so a friend can catch you instead of the feed.
Your light turns on while you're in the feed — so a friend can catch you instead.
Call from inside the app and every conversation counts. Earn friendship badges and see how strong each friendship really is — measured by an AI algorithm, not a guess.
Keep your daily habit of reaching out. When you and a friend are both online, Daily Ring calls you, then them — so the streak never breaks.
Need to talk to someone right now? One tap calls everyone in your circle, one at a time, starting with whoever's light is on — and keeps going until someone picks up.
Family, Friends, Work. Each with its own place, quiet hours, and calendar — so the right people see the right light.
Tonight's glow can be just for family, or just for old friends — and quiet for everyone else.
