AmiGo — Friends Nearby

About AmiGo — Friends Nearby

Putting the social back in social media. AmiGo answers one question: who do I know that's around right now? So you can hang out with people nearby right now.

Your grid shows the people you actually know — and only them — sorted by distance or custom groups. No strangers, no discovery feed, no followers. Someone appears on your AmiGo grid only when you BOTH have each other's numbers saved, or when you connected in person by QR code. Privacy isn't a setting here; it's the architecture.

WHAT MAKES AMIGO DIFFERENT
• Mutual by design — nobody sees you unless you both know each other
• Approximate by design — friends see a rough distance (about .3 mile at best), never a pin on a map, and never a history
• Your comfort dial — set "never show me closer than 5 miles" and even alerts respect it
• Arrival alerts — pick a distance per friend ("ping me when Sam is within 10 miles") and get one ping when they cross it, not a stream
• Stories that vanish — photos and 10-second videos for your real people, gone in 24 hours
• Video messages — record minutes-long clips that live in your chat, Marco Polo style
• Chat and group blasts — message one friend, or everyone in a group within 20 miles, each reply private
• In-person QR connect — met someone new? Scan and you're on each other's grids, no contact-sharing needed
• Free/busy dot, "down to" activities, color themes, hide and block controls — your grid, your rules

WHAT AMIGO NEVER DOES
No ads. No selling data. No location history. No precise GPS — the app can't even ask for it. Your contacts are matched as one-way hashes; raw numbers never leave your phone, and AmiGo can't message anyone in your address book.

Bring your people. AmiGo only gets good when the people you love are on it — that's the point.
