How Kami works
Kami helps you notice the people, places, and moments around you — without turning life into another feed.
No manual check-ins. Just presence.
What Kami is
Most social apps are built around posting after something happens. Kami helps you notice what's happening while life is still unfolding.
A pulse, not a feed
Friends nearby when you're in the same place — plus active venues, live events, and social energy around you. Not a live map of everyone, all the time.
How it works
Presence, not check-ins.
Kami quietly helps you notice nearby moments while they're still unfolding.
-
Detects presence
You're near something worth noticing.
-
Surfaces nearby
When friends or familiar people are nearby, Kami surfaces what's worth noticing.
-
Connects you
Start a conversation, meet up, or simply keep moving.
-
Presence fades
You've left the area. Your presence disappears.
Built to run lightly
Presence shouldn't drain your battery.
Kami avoids constant high-frequency GPS. It uses efficient background location patterns, geofences, and system-aware updates — designed to minimize extra checks, not add them.
- Lightweight background presence detection
- Geofences instead of always-on GPS
- Works with efficient system location APIs
Battery usage varies by device, permissions, and usage patterns.
Privacy & control
Useful should never feel creepy.
Kami is built for public social context — nights out, venues, meetups. Not your bedroom, not your routine, not a permanent broadcast of where you've been.
- Ghost Mode Go invisible instantly — no explanation needed.
- Pause anytime Take a break and Kami stops with you.
- Right here, right now Display only to people immediately nearby, while you're there.
Less scrolling. More showing up.
Some of the best moments in life happen because you knew something was happening nearby at the right time.
Real life has a pulse. Kami helps you feel it.
