Vibes and moods
Say what you are up for without anyone having to ask.
Two small things sit on top of your position on the map: a mood and a vibe. They answer the question people would otherwise have to message you to ask.
Moods
A mood is a single emoji you set on yourself, picked from a small grid on the map. It stays until you change it, and no meaning is attached to any of them: one means whatever you and your friends take it to mean.
Vibes
- Open the map
- Tap Set vibe and pick one
- Anyone sharing it is told you match
A vibe is picked from a set and says what you are open to right now:
- ✌️ Free, 🙌 Down to hang
- 🍕 Hungry, ☕ Coffee run
- 🎉 Feeling social, 🗺️ Exploring
- 💻 Deep in work, 🔕 Do not disturb
- 🛋️ Chilling, 😴 Tired
Vibes expire, moods do not
A vibe lasts three hours and then clears itself. That is the point of it: a stale "Free" from two days ago is worse than nothing, because somebody acts on it and finds you busy. A mood has no expiry because it is not a claim about right now.
Matching
When two people in a space set compatible vibes, Circl points it out. Two people who are both hungry at 6pm usually want to know that.
Do not disturb
Setting 🔕 tells people not to. It does not silence your notifications: it is a signal to the others, not a setting. Use your notification settings for that.
