The right place, at the right time, with the right people.

Yes, and it's free. You find them by name or @ and follow each other; when you both follow each other, you are friends. On their profile you see the places they've been (if they share them), the events they're going to and their status today. From there you build a plan and send it: each person answers “Going” or “Can't make it”. Skaify blends everyone's taste and respects what each person can't eat. You can even mark “My treat today”.

It means saying out loud that you want to go out. You pick between “I want to do something”, “I already have a plan” or “I need to get people together”, it lasts 24 hours and you take it down whenever you want. Who sees it isn't decided each time: you decide it once in Privacy, between everyone, your friends only, or nobody, and it applies to every status you post. If you set it to everyone, you show up on a list for people you don't know, within 5 km of whoever is looking or across your whole city if that person didn't share their location, with your name, your photo and an approximate distance. Never your location and never the time.

It's knowing how many Skaify people are where you are, never who they are. When you're about to go to a plan in your day, in the hour before or once you're there, you turn on “I want to socialize” and count inside that place's number, for two hours or for as long as the activity lasts. You see how many of your friends are there, how many Skaify people and how many are into the same things as you. For people you don't know it's rounded in fives, with no names or photos, and under five no number shows. The friends you choose to let see your plans do know you're there. It's free.

It only exists in the “I want to meet people” layer and only for people 18 and over. If you turned on “I want to socialize” at a place, or at an event while it's on, you can send an alert: it goes to whoever is there, is into the same things as you and said they're open to it. You don't pick who. Whoever gets it sees nothing about you until they accept; if they say no, you aren't told and you can't send them another one. If they accept, you both see each other's first name, photo and age. If you both say yes again, your phones say if you're close or far, never where. When you meet, you swap a four-digit code and then you can add each other as friends.

Only between friends, and a new friendship waits 24 hours before the first message. Strangers can't write to each other, not even after an alert, and that's on purpose: Skaify doesn't replace human interaction, it sparks it. The idea is that the first conversation happens in person.

Whatever you decide, and you decide it in Privacy. First you pick your layer: invisible, social, or I want to meet people. Your profile carries the basics, and the places you go start out visible to your friends only. If you turn on “I want to socialize” at a place, to people you don't know you're part of a number, with no name or photo; only the friends you let see your plans know it's you. Your status has its own setting, which also starts out friends only: if you open it to everyone, you show up on a list for people you don't know, with your name, your photo and an approximate distance. Your profile can be public or private: we ask you the first time you open it and you can change it anytime. If you drop a pin on the community map, it shows your name. If you say you're going to a public event, anyone with an account can see you're going. Never your location and never the time: distance goes in ranges and nobody knows where you are. You can only message someone once you are friends, and you can report or block anyone right there. The full details are in Safety and our Privacy Policy.

To make Skaify work: recommending places and plans, connecting you with your friends, the social features you turn on and keeping the community safe. We don't sell it, we don't share it with advertisers and we don't use it for ads. Your contacts are only read on your phone and you can delete your account from the app. Everything is in our Privacy Policy.

Yes, in the app: the button is at the very bottom of your profile. It really deletes your profile, your plans, your photos, your messages and your history, and it can't be undone.

Spanish, English, French, Italian and Portuguese. It talks to you in your phone’s language, and you can change it anytime from your profile.

Register it in the app: choose “My Place” or “An Event”, fill in your details, preview your listing and activate your plan. Then you manage it from your dashboard at skaify.com/negocios, including if you have several locations.

From your dashboard: how busy it is (quiet, medium or packed), what's playing, your current promo and today's event. People see it on your listing as “Today at this spot”. You can also set today's goal and a note that clears itself the next day.

Only totals, never who: how many times we recommended you, opened your listing and added you to their day, at what times, confirmed visits and rating. Counts of distinct people only show up from five. You also see what kind of people find you, by age and gender, in rounded percentages; gender only counts people who agreed to share it. The only thing signed by someone are reviews, which are public on your listing the same way anyone sees them in the app.
