How it works

From an idea to a Friday night out.

One example, start to finish. It takes about a week.

  1. Monday

    A chef's counter dinner this Friday. Would you go?

    InterestedProbably goReserve a seat

    Voting closes Tuesday

    Neighbors weigh in

    Each week the Pulse asks neighbors what they'd love nearby, and how much they mean it.

  2. Tuesday

    41 interested

    18 ready to reserve · Friday is most wanted

    A business listens

    A local restaurant sees how many neighbors want it, never who, and decides it's worth doing.

  3. Wednesday

    Now available

    Chef's counter, one night only

    Friday at 7 · $65 · 20 seats

    It goes on the calendar

    The restaurant sets a date, a price, and how many seats. Neighbors reserve for themselves and a few friends.

  4. Friday

    Neighbors show up

    Neighbors show their SOFE code at the door and sit down together. The next question is already waiting.

Clubs

Or start something yourself.

Not every good idea needs a business. Any neighbor can start a club in a minute: pick an activity, a public place, and how often. It starts once enough neighbors join, and it's always free. Local cafés and studios run clubs, too.

  • Run club
  • Walking group
  • Yoga
  • Game night
  • Supper club
  • Coffee club
  • Playgroup
  • Story time
  • Book club
  • Afternoon social

Needs

Need a hand? Ask the neighbors who've hired someone.

A handyman, a math tutor, a dog walker. Say what you need, and neighbors who've hired someone point the way, with counts like “Hired by 5.” That person can come to the neighborhood for everyone on one day, often at a neighbor discount. You pay them directly.

SOFE runs family life, too.

Sprout reads school email and grades, then tells you what's due and where your kids need practice. SOFE for families adds Otis, an assistant you can ask about anything, plus plans for fitness, habits, meals, trips, parties, and events. You buy them once, then pay only for the AI you use.

What we believe

Make more possible. Together.

Technology should bring us closer to the people and places around us. AI gives us a new way to do that, by helping people create, connect, and get more done together.

You own it

Your information belongs to you. You decide what gets shared.

You shape it

Your tools, your routines, and the place you live.

AI works for people

It does the legwork, so you have more time for each other.

Local comes first

The best parts of life happen in person, close to home.

Everyone has a say

The people who make a community great should help shape it.

Businesses see totals

“41 interested, 18 ready to reserve.” Never your name, email, or address.

Real neighbors

Everyone joins with a SOFE card or a neighbor's invite, then confirms their address.

Security assessed

The SOFE app passed an independent security assessment (CASA), and our hosting and data vendors are SOC 2 certified. How we protect your data
