Six screens,
the whole product
A walkthrough of the iPhone app, screen by screen. The friend has the full app. The single gets a single screen: dinner is at seven.

Screen 01
Daily drop and your roster
The friend opens the app and sees what is live tonight. A curated daily drop of singles other friends are setting up sits at the top. Their own roster sits below. No feed of strangers. No algorithm to please. Just rooms and rosters.
Screen 02
Roster, your written recommendations
The single’s profile, owned by the friend. Photos. A short list of facts. A real paragraph from someone who knows them. Each profile lives inside one friend’s roster.
David Lao

Cooks for his friends every Sunday. Reads novels twice. Made me laugh at a funeral.
Your recommendation

Screen 03
Writing a pitch to one specific friend
When the friend sees someone they would send to one of their own singles, they write the pitch. One friend. One recipient. One match in mind. No broadcast. No reach. A note, like before.
Screen 04
Inbox, awaiting the hug
The other friend opens their inbox. A pitch from someone they trust about someone they should meet. Two buttons: hug on it, or pass with a note. That is the whole interaction.

A date on the calendar, not in a chat
Both friends agreed. The date is booked. Both singles get the time, the place, and each other. The app does not need to be opened again until dinner is over.
Screen 06
Single mode, you were chosen
For the single, Arranged is one screen. Your friend set you up. The other friend agreed. Here is the time, the place, and the person you are meeting. You were not asked. You were vouched for.
A note from Maya

Jordan agreed. Sara is meeting you at 7:30 at Cafe Mogador. You were not asked. You were vouched for.
