hia

hia is an app that quietly shares your "here and now."

Share, but don't overconnect.
See, but don't keep an eye on.
Convey, but don't expect a response.

■ Nothing has to happen.

No one has to come when you turn it on.
See, but don't do anything.
No response is not rejection.

■ Only share your "status."

The name of the location and what you're doing.
That's enough to convey, "Ah, you're there."
That's just the right amount.

■ You have the initiative.

You always turn it on yourself.
It won't be shared without your permission.
Whether you turn it on or off is entirely your decision.

■ Only for now. No trace remains.

Turn it off and it's gone.
No history or logs.
Since it's only visible now, you can turn it on casually.

■ A small world for acquaintances only.

Invitation-only, and only used among acquaintances.
Since strangers can't see it, you can turn it on casually.

■ "I'm going," that's all it takes.

When your friend is on your profile, all you need to say is "I'm going."

No messaging or chat required.

Just saying "I'm on my way" is enough.

■ For these occasions

・At the station / Relaxing → No need to say "I'm here"
・At a cafe / Working hard → Meeting up only later becomes a natural occurrence
・At a nearby park / Hanging out → Meeting up halfway through and chatting for a bit
・At an arcade / Hanging out → "If they're there, I guess I'll go"

Even without contacting them, your presence is conveyed.

Just that creates a loose connection.
