Recent Encounters remembers everyone who crossed your path in the last 24 hours, so a missed moment doesn't have to stay missed.
People who appeared on your radar but you never interacted with stay here for 24 hours, then they're gone. A gentle second chance while the moment is still fresh, not a growing log.

Some people are worth finding twice. See who you nearly met, discover their interests and vibe, and reconnect while the moment is still fresh.

A Reconnect is a simple way to say, "We crossed paths, and I'd like to talk." If the feeling is mutual, the conversation begins. If not, the moment quietly passes after 24 hours.

24h
A rolling 24-hour memory.
Everyone who appeared on your radar but you never interacted with stays here for 24 hours, then quietly disappears. No history to manage, just a second chance while the moment is still fresh.
How a missed moment comes back
They appear
Someone crosses your 120m radar during the day.
No interaction
Neither of you waved. Life got in the way.
Saved quietly
They land in Recent Encounters for 24 hours.
Reconnect
Reach out and, if accepted, a chat opens instantly.
Reconnect is different from a wave
It's a thoughtful way to say, "We crossed paths, and I'd like to talk." Not in the moment, but because the moment stayed with you.
A light second chance, never a tracker
Recent Encounters is designed to fade, so it stays a gentle reminder, never a record of everyone you've passed.
Auto-deletes after 24h
Every encounter disappears on its own within a day. There's no growing history of who you've crossed paths with.
No alert until you act
People aren't notified that you saw them. Nothing happens unless you choose to Reconnect.
Reconnect stays mutual
A reconnect only becomes a chat if they accept. Same consent that protects every connection on initiiator.
