Your five, not your feed
No endless scrolling

You have five hundred contacts. You actually talk to five.

Somewhere between "we should catch up" and endless back-and-forth texting, the moment passes. Staying in touch shouldn't take scheduling — it should be as easy as knocking on a door.

How it works

Three taps from "thinking of you" to talking

Connect5 reads real availability signals — so you reach out at the right moment, not the awkward one.

1

See who's free

A quiet color tells you who's around right now — read from calendar, location, and app signals. No guessing, no "you up?"

2

Send a wave

One tap signals "I'm free, let's talk." It reaches only the people you choose — and disappears in 24 hours.

3

Talk in seconds

They tap the wave and you're on a call or FaceTime instantly. Real conversation, no scheduling required.

What's inside

Everything to keep your closest people close

Availability signals

Connect5 predicts when friends are free from calendar, location, and activity — so you catch people in the pockets of time they'd love a call.

Waves that don't linger

Every wave and message auto-deletes in 24 hours. Low-pressure, in-the-moment, and nothing to scroll back through later.

Privacy-first location

Share as little or as much as you want, per person. Precise location is end-to-end encrypted and never sold — off is always an option.

Reconnect reminders

Set a rhythm for each person and Connect5 gently surfaces who you're drifting from — a nudge to reach out before too long passes.

A simple language for "are you free?"

One glance tells you the moment

A single dot on every friend, so you always know who's reachable — without asking.

Private by design

Closeness without surveillance

Connect5 is built for the people you trust — so trust is the default, not a setting you have to find.

End-to-end encrypted location

Precise location is encrypted on your device. We can't read it, and it's never sold — ever.

Per-person sharing controls

Decide exactly what each friend sees — availability, location, or nothing at all.

Nothing lingers

Waves and messages disappear after 24 hours. No permanent record, no feed to perform for.

Your number stays yours

Phone numbers are hashed, never stored in plain text. Privacy is engineered in, not bolted on.

You're in control

Sharing is off by default and granular by person. Turn it up for your inner circle, keep it quiet for everyone else.

No ads, no data selling

The best conversations start on a whim.

Connect5 brings back the spontaneous call — the "hey, you free?" that turns an ordinary afternoon into time with someone you love.
