Light haptics and clean states keep the app calm in your pocket.

The social layer
Built for the tiny moments before plans exist.
Soft arrival signals
Know when someone enters your radius without opening a map or watching dots move.
Your phone tells you first
No button hunting. When a friend gets close, the quiet vibration does the work.
Disappear when you want
Go invisible when you need space, then come back when you are open to being found.
Privacy controls
You decide when proximity becomes presence.
Ping is designed around small, reversible signals: visible when you want to be found, invisible when you want the city to be quiet.
Scenarios
Three ways Ping turns nearby into a moment.
friends nearby
The app catches the overlap before the group chat does.
When multiple friends enter your 500m radius, Ping groups it into one calm buzz.
ride overlap
A quick roadside plan without “where are you?” texts.
Perfect for rides, campuses, markets, and places where friends pass close by.
walk mode
A casual walk becomes a real hello.
Invisible mode keeps it optional when you want the city to stay quiet.
Nearby should feel natural
