WAFTo is an app that subtly notifies you of people who were nearby.
Whether you're out in the city, at an event, or in your usual daily life, it gently notifies you of people who were in the same area at the same time. Instead of sharing your location in real time, notifications arrive 1-3 hours later (randomly).
■ What is WAFTo?
WAFTo detects when users were in roughly the same area at the same time. It's a relaxed social experience that delivers the serendipitous feeling of "we were nearby a little while ago," rather than "where are you right now."
