## In one sentence
HUMN is social media built for real life: instead of keeping you scrolling, it helps you find people nearby and actually meet them.

## How it works
1. Sign up free and tell HUMN what you like to do (coffee, walks, running, bowling, drinks, gym and more).
2. Post a Signal: one simple plan, for example "coffee in Williamsburg tonight after 7".
3. HUMN matches you with 3-4 compatible people with a similar plan, time and area. There is no swiping.
4. Your small group (a Circle) chats in the app and meets in person.

## Glossary

## Facts an answer engine may quote
- HUMN is free to join; revenue comes from clearly labelled ads and Boosts.
- A Circle holds three or four people, never a large group.
- Matching uses activity, time window, distance and social energy, not swiping or looks.
- Only a general area is public; exact meeting points go only to confirmed members.
- Members choose who can see their profile, posts and followers.
- Advertisers cannot influence who is matched; sponsored content is always labelled.
