## Description

motive helps you make new friends through small, low-pressure hangouts in real life — pickleball, coffee, a walk, game night, a movie at someone's place. No swiping. No weird vibes. Just a calendar of small plans you can host or join.

Social media promised connection. It gave us scrolling.

The U.S. Surgeon General now calls loneliness a public health epidemic — a mortality risk equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Young Americans spend just 40 minutes a day with friends. In 2003, that number was 61.

Something has to change.

motive is what your feed should have become.

HOW IT WORKS

• Open motive and see a small warm calendar of hangouts happening near you, hosted by real people in your city.
• Tap one that looks good. RSVP. Show up.
• Or host your own — pick an activity, a place, a time. Takes about 30 seconds.
• Chat with everyone going, coordinate the little details, then go do the thing.

WHAT'S DIFFERENT

• No swiping. This isn't a dating app.
• No feeds, no endless scroll. Just plans.
• Every profile is verified in-person via selfie + gesture. No bots. No catfish. Humans, not handles.
• Built for adults who realized their social life quietly turned into group chats that never materialize.
• Warm, plain-language design. No dark patterns. No addictive loops.

WHO IT'S FOR

Adults in their 20s and 30s who moved to a new city, or realized their friend circle has quietly shrunk, or just want the kind of low-pressure hangout life used to have — before everyone's calendar became a wall of Slack channels and screen time.

WHERE

Starting in Provo, Utah — home of BYU and UVU. Coming to more cities as we grow.

Humans, not handles. Come outside.
