Someone, a phonebook for asking your circle

Editorial interest 86/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An invite-only trust network for asking people you know for help without posting to a public feed.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-27 issue.

Field notes

The service separates relationship closeness from request reach: contacts receive one of three manually assigned trust tiers, while each Ask can travel only within the Circle or one hop beyond it. Responders do not see competing Hands, and a completed exchange becomes a Kept record rather than a public rating. The homepage also describes a contact map storing practical context, including what someone does, where they live, how they are known, and when they were last contacted.
