Nairuka’s porch-light app
A forthcoming iPhone app lets a chosen circle signal when they’re open to company, without moving conversations into a new inbox.

Field notes
People invite a small circle, assign private names, optionally connect contacts, and set a lamp for one hour, three hours, or the rest of the day; it can be limited to selected people or saved groups. A wave sends a no-reply-needed signal, while calls, Messages, and FaceTime open outside the app. The page says the iPhone app is coming, so these are described mechanics rather than independently verified working features.
