the why
Social Battery is a shared shorthand for how much social energy you have, so you can skip the awkward "are you up for it?" exchange every time. Add friends and family and you see each other's level at a glance, and when a friend's battery has not been updated for a couple of days you can send them a gentle nudge.
who it's for
Introverts and neurodivergent folks who would rather signal their capacity than negotiate plans in real time.
what it does
- Set your current social energy level
- Share status with a single link
- Personal network: add friends and family to see each other's status
- Runs in the browser, with nothing to install
