Now I’m Open

How can we help?

Quick answers about cards, picks, chats, privacy and your account. Still stuck? Email us; a person reads every message.

Getting started

What is Now I'm Open?

A free way to meet like-minded people. You post a short card about what you're open to, like a coffee chat about an idea, a run or a date. People nearby who share your interests can say I'm in, and you choose who to say yes to.

How do I sign up?

Enter your email on the sign-in page and tap the link we send. There's no password. Then make your profile in six short steps; it takes about two minutes.

Who can join?

Adults aged 18 and over. One account per person, with your real first name and real photos of yourself.

Does it cost anything?

No. Everything is free while we launch.

I didn't get the sign-in email.

It comes from hello@nowimopen.com. Check Promotions or Spam, wait a minute, then tap Resend. Links work once and expire after an hour.

Cards and Nearby

What makes a good card?

Be specific: an activity, a topic, an area and a rough time. "Open to a coffee chat about starting a café · Tiong Bahru · Sat morning" gets far more replies than "Open to meeting people".

How long does a card stay open?

You choose 1, 3, 7 or 14 days. Small-group cards with a date close three hours after the start time. You can close a card any time.

Who sees my cards?

Members in the same city who turned on Nearby and share the mode. Women-only cards are seen only by women. Shareable cards also get a public link you choose to share.

Why don't I see anyone nearby?

Nearby works both ways, so you only see others while you're visible too. Check that Nearby is on in your profile. Early on, areas are quiet: post a card or invite a friend to get things going.

Can I hide a card I'm not interested in?

Yes. Tap Hide on the card in Nearby. It's remembered on that device.

Picks, requests and chats

What are noon picks?

Every day at 12:00 Singapore time, up to six people who share your interests arrive in Today. Say you're open to meeting or pass. They're never told who passed.

When does a chat open?

Only when you both say yes: you accept someone's I'm in, or you both say you're open from noon picks.

Why does my chat say days left?

New chats have 7 days to set a time. Once you've both replied, the chat stays open, and after you both confirm you met it stays open for 90 days.

What does We met do?

After meeting, you can both confirm it. You each get a private keepsake card, which only goes public if you both agree, and you can leave a private reference.

Photos, privacy and safety

Who can see my photos?

Only signed-in members. You can also choose to show photos only after you both say yes. People who aren't members never see them.

Can people see where I am?

No. We only show an area such as Tiong Bahru or Seoul. No coordinates, no distances. If you use your location to pick an area, the coordinates are discarded immediately.

How do I get the Verified badge?

In Profile, take a selfie showing the gesture we ask for. A person on our team compares it with your profile photos, usually within a day.

How do I report or block someone?

Open the chat and tap the shield button, then Report or Block. Blocking works both ways at once. A person reviews every report.

Someone asked me for money.

Don't send it, whatever the story. Report them from the chat, and if you think it's a scam call the ScamShield Helpline at 1799.

Travel

How do I use it when I travel?

On Open, choose I'm travelling, pick one of 46 cities and the number of days. You'll see cards from travellers and locals there, and your cards show that city.

What happens when my trip ends?

Check-ins expire on their own and are deleted within 72 hours.

Your account

How do I pause my profile?

Profile, then Account, then Pause my profile. Nobody sees your cards or gets you as a pick until you unpause.

How do I delete my account?

Email hello@nowimopen.com from the address you sign in with. We reply within 30 days, usually much sooner. Pausing is instant if you just want a break.

Can I install it like an app?

Yes. On Android, tap Install when we offer it. On iPhone, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen.
