Morning coffee run

Starting in Ann Arbor
Pick a time, drop a spot, share the link. Whoever's free taps join. No group chat, no back-and-forth.
Free to use.
A look at the app: example pulses.
Set a start time and share the link. When the two hours are up, the pulse closes itself, so making one never feels like a commitment.
Pick a time and a place. Pulse hands you a link to send wherever your people already are.
Friends tap join. You can see who's in before you leave the house.
The pulse ends on its own. No stale plans sitting in anyone's feed, nothing to clean up.
Thought to plan in about twenty seconds.
Pick a time, a spot, and a title. That's the whole setup. Pulse hands you a link the moment you're done.
Pulses from friends and public pulses nearby land in your feed as a list or as pins on a map. Tap one to join.
No polls, no “when works for everyone.” People tap join or they don't, and you know who's coming before you leave.
Make groups for the people you actually do things with: roommates, lab partners, running friends. Ping the right one in a tap.
Coffee, runs, study blocks, dinner: the plans that fall apart when they take too long to make.
The group chat has forty messages and no plan.
Make the plan in one tap.
Texting one person feels like a big ask.
Post it and let whoever's free join.
You're free for two hours and don't know who else is.
Say so, and find out.
Half the people who said maybe don't show.
See who tapped join before you leave.
You keep scrolling instead of going outside.
Two minutes on your phone, two hours with people.
The short answers are below. If yours isn't here, send us a note and we'll get back to you.
Contact usTap the Pulse logo in the bottom bar, then pick one of six quick options or start from scratch. Check the title, time, location, and who can see it, add a photo and details if you want, and send.
Two hours from the start time you set. Then it closes on its own. That's the whole idea: a pulse is a plan for right now, not a standing invitation.
Joining happens in the free Pulse app. Friends pulses stay private either way: only people you've added, who have added you back, can see them.
Public pulses show up for people on Pulse nearby. Friends pulses go to people you've added and who've added you back. Private pulses stay yours: nobody else sees them in a feed.
Yes. Change the details or cancel any time, and everyone who joined gets notified.
