Commuticate is the easiest way to use the dead time in your day — your drive home, your morning walk, a quiet 15 minutes between meetings — to actually talk to the people you care about.
Stop playing phone tag. Stop staring at unread voicemails. Broadcast that you're free for a quick chat, see when friends or family are free, and call them in the moment.
WHY COMMUTICATE
• Show that you're free for a quick call. Pick a duration (15, 30, 45, 60 minutes — or custom), add a one-line note, and your friends instantly see you're available to talk.
• See who's free right now. Open the app and your Available tab shows every friend currently broadcasting, with one-tap calling.
• Track the people you care about most. Pick a few close friends or family members to "track" — when they become available to talk, you get a push.
• Recurring commute windows. Drive at the same time every weekday? Set a schedule once and Commuticate broadcasts automatically.
• Friend groups for nuance. Share availability with everyone, or just your "family" / "work friends" / "running club" — your choice, every time.
• Real phone calls. Commuticate doesn't add a confusing new dialer — it logs the attempt and opens your native phone app, so you stay in control.
• Call history that's actually useful. See how often you reach who you mean to reach. Notice the relationships that drift; reinforce the ones that don't.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Sign up with email, Apple, or Google.
2. Add the phone number you'd answer on, and a handful of friends.
3. When you're free for a quick chat — usually a commute or a walk — tap Go Available, pick a duration, and broadcast.
4. Your friends see you in Available. They tap to call. Connection happens.
5. Set a recurring schedule for the times you're predictably free, and Commuticate broadcasts on autopilot.
PRIVACY FIRST
We don't sell your data. We don't run ads. We don't use an advertising ID. We don't upload your contacts. Your phone number is only visible to people you've accepted as friends, and only when you're broadcasting. Read our full policy at commuticate.app/privacy.
ACCOUNT & DATA
Edit your profile from inside the app and delete your account at any time from Profile → Delete Account. Deletion completes within 30 days.
WHO IT'S FOR
• Anyone who drives, walks, or rides every day and would rather talk than scroll.
• Long-distance friendships and family relationships that have drifted into voicemail.
• Couples and parents who only get a real conversation in during the commute.
• Friend circles that have always wanted to "catch up more often" but never quite manage it.

Ratings & Reviews
- FaceTime + FaceTime Audio options when you're both on iOS — tap Call and pick the channel.
- Picking up a phone call now pauses your "free to talk" broadcast automatically, then resumes it when you hang up. No more re-broadcasting after every call.
- "Looks like you're driving" prompt offers to broadcast your commute the moment you start your car.
- Push notifications now show the sender's name in bold with the action on a second line, instead of a single truncated sentence.
- Multiline note fields (Go Available, Schedule, Profile bio) now show a "Done" bar above the keyboard so you can dismiss it cleanly.
- Tap-to-refresh: opening a notification jumps you straight to Available with the latest list, no manual pull-to-refresh.
Fixes
- Tapping a friend's free-to-talk card no longer shows a "?" avatar and "no phone number" error.
- Back button labels read "Available", "Friends", etc. instead of an internal screen name.
- Phone validation accepts standard US formats with or without the country code on every screen.
