Mootstead

Private moments, made in person

Be there.
Together.

Mootstead keeps the times you actually spend with people, for the people who were there and nobody else.

A Moment is made only when two people are together and witness each other, phone to phone. Nothing can be added alone, afterwards, or by a machine.

No audience, no strangers, nothing to count, nothing in the background: just the people who were there.

Our mission

Moments are for living, not for showing.

In a world that keeps getting louder, our members value something quieter: their privacy, and the kind of growth that only comes from time spent with other people.

There are plenty of apps for gathering an audience. Mootstead is not one of them. Our members capture the moments they share and keep them between the people they meet: a Moment belongs to the friends who were there, and nobody else.

Moments are shared only between those who were there.

  • 01

    Private from the start

    Nobody can find you who has not met you.

  • 02

    Made face to face

    Two phones, two codes, both ways round. That is the only way a Moment begins.

  • 03

    Yours to take back

    Withdrawing from a Moment takes you out of it for everyone at once.

How a Moment is made

Three steps. A few seconds.

  1. Get together

    Dinner, a long walk, a gig, a coffee that is long overdue. Mootstead is made for the times you are face to face.

  2. The code screen: Show this to them. They scan it with Mootstead, or with their camera.

    Witness each other

    One of you shows a code and the other scans it, then the other way round. It takes a few seconds.

  3. The Moment: You were here with Priya, Sam and Tom, with photos from the night.

    Keep the Moment

    Your Moment says who you were with, the day, and the part of the day. Add photos from the night: photos are seen only by the people in the Moment.

Your Ledger: people you have met, with how many times and when you last met. Priya, met 2 times. Tom, met 2 times. Kofi, Lena and Sam, met once.
Circles: everyone in a Moment together is a Circle. Priya. Kofi and Tom. Lena. Priya, Sam and Tom.

Your Ledger

The people you have actually met.

Not names you collected. Every person in your Ledger is someone you witnessed, face to face, and every line says how often and when.

Circles

Everyone in a Moment together is a Circle. It is where you make the next plan.

What it is not

Not a stage. Not a scoreboard.

  • There is nothing public to scroll, and nothing to count.
  • Nobody can find you who has not met you.
  • Mootstead asks where you are only when you tap Add location, never in the background.
  • It is for adults. Everyone joining passes an age check.

How you join

You do not sign up. You are witnessed in.

You join by being witnessed in by someone who is already a member, in person. There is no sign-up form, no password and no search for people. Ask a member to witness you in.
