1 Minute Checkin
One minute, by voice, with someone from a group you already belong to: your photography club, your Spanish conversation group, your fellow gym members. Strangers to you today, though you may be going to the same places.
One minute. One voice. One person.
“1 Minute Checkin” connects two members of the same group by voice for one minute. Answer the group’s prompt or talk about whatever’s on your mind. A small moment of human connection can change the way a day feels.
If you both want to keep talking, request a longer reconnection. Schedule a moment in advance, or connect spontaneously when your status is set to “available.”
Make room for each other
With little pressure, a clear time limit, and the possibility of something meaningful.
- · Only members of your own groups
- · Real voices, no video
- · A hard stop at 60 seconds
- · Nobody is shown who is available
- · Talk again only if you both want to
How it works
Three small steps
Join your group
Open the address your club, class or gym shared, or start a group and share its address. You only talk with members of your own groups.
Talk for one minute
Set yourself to Available or press Talk now. Nobody sees a list of people; the match is made quietly. You’ll hear the group’s spark, and the clock is in front of you both.
Decide, privately
Would you like to talk again? Five minutes now, a scheduled talk, maybe later—or not. The more cautious answer wins, and nobody is told what the other chose.
Prefer to plan? Schedule a minute ahead of time, or take a time someone else has set.
For communities
The creator provides the spark. Members generate the heat.
Every conversation here happens inside a group. It’s a way for people who share an interest to build connections with each other. The group’s creator strikes the match with a question, topic, photo, or challenge. From there, communication happens horizontally: members talking directly with other members. Those who opt in can also connect with members of other groups.
Most social media connects an audience to a creator. People watch a YouTube video, read a newsletter, or follow an Instagram post, and some leave comments. Communication flows mostly vertically, like spokes around a hub. “1 Minute Checkin” adds connections between those spokes, giving members a chance to get to know one another.
