How it works

1

Pick your color

Once a week: green, yellow or red. Two words if you want. No explanations needed.

2

Your circle sees it

Only the 2–5 people you invite. No likes, no comments, no algorithm.

3

Be there when it matters

Someone's red? Send a ❤️ or "I'm here" — or a 10-minute call.

Try it — this is the whole check-in

Slide, pick a color, done.

Why not just a group chat?

"How are you?" is a heavy question. A color is a light answer.

No unread messages, no guilt
One honest signal instead of small talk
Silence is okay — red weeks are allowed

Private by design

Invite-only circles of 2–5 people. No public profiles, no ads. Your colors are visible only to your circle.

Questions

Is it free?

Yes. Circles is free.

Do I have to write anything?

No. A color is enough. Tags and words are always optional.

Who can see my check-ins?

Only the members of your circle — the 2–5 people you chose.

What if I skip a week?

Nothing happens. You'll get one gentle reminder, never more than one a week.

Someone out there wonders how you're doing.

Start with one color.
