Know when it's a good time to connect — without asking.
Glanceable is a presence layer for people who share space.
You tap what you're in. The people around you see it. No texts. No notifications. No asking.
Just a quiet signal that says — now is a good time.
Most tools interrupt. Glanceable doesn't.
It makes presence visible without demanding attention.
- Tap your current state (working, coffee, relaxing, out)
- Optionally add how it feels (calm, focused, tired)
- Others see a live, glanceable signal
- Shared moments accumulate into a lightweight history
That's it.
- Couples
- Families
- Small groups
Anywhere people coordinate without wanting friction.
- Not messaging
- Not a social feed
- Not a mood tracker
- Not notifications
- Not surveillance
- Not ad-supported
Glanceable is intentionally minimal.
- No gamification
- No engagement loops
- No optimization for attention
If it adds noise, it doesn't belong.
- Next.js / React / Tailwind
- Node.js
- Postgres (Supabase)
- Vercel

Glanceable is a presence primitive. Infrastructure for human connection, not a product competing for your attention.
