Two nights a week, you open the app and tap Go Live. The matching engine pairs you with one nearby live user and opens a private chat. No browsing, no inbox, no opener required.

- Wednesday at 9 PM CT: Live Text. Same matching, lower activation energy.
- Local first: The matching radius prioritizes people in your area before widening out.
