Headcount — Group Pings

Your groups now live on two panels of six sockets: buttons and switches side by side, in any order you like. One tap still tells everyone you're thinking of them.

Headcount is the smallest possible group app.

Every group gets one control on your panel: a button that pings everyone, or a switch the whole group can see.

Press a button and everyone in the group gets its message on their lock screen. They answer with a reaction, and the group's page lights up as people come in. Flip a switch and everyone hears the new state, like "Someone home: Yes", without anyone typing a word.

It's built for the people you don't see often enough: the ones in other cities, other time zones, other schedules. Texting them takes effort you keep putting off. This takes one tap.

• One control panel with every group on it, two panels of six sockets • Buttons: one message per group, chosen when the group is made • Switches: one shared state with two words the group picks, like On/Off, Yes/No, Open/Closed, In/Out, or your own • Everyone gets a notification the moment someone presses or flips • 24 hours to answer a ping, so time zones don't matter • 68 reactions to answer with, for pings and for switch flips • Streaks for you and for the whole group, with freezes for the days life gets in the way • A history of every ping and every flip • Buttons and switches side by side, in any order you like • Ten colours to tell your groups apart • Up to 12 people per group, and up to 12 groups • Invite by single-use code. Nothing is public, nothing is searchable • Space Shift, a little arcade game in the panel, for while you wait on everyone else

No feed. No follower counts. No text threads to keep up with. Just the fact that someone thought of you.
