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. It stays until you change it. There is no list to choose from and no meaning attached: it means whatever you and your friends take it to mean.

Vibes

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.
