Light's on.Drop in.

Porchlight lets close friends and neighbors know you're home and up for company. No invite to send, no group text, nobody put on the spot.

Peter's light is on

until 9:00 pm

Coffee's on and the kids are in the yard.

What friends in your circle see.

How it works

Turn your light on.Pick a circle, add a note if you like, and choose when it turns off.
Your circle sees it.Only the people you've chosen get a quiet heads-up.
Friends swing by.Or they tap "Next time." No pressure either way.

Porchlight is paid for by the people who use it, not by advertisers. These four promises don't change.

No ads.Not now, not later.
We never sell or share your data.Not your contacts, your plans or your address.
No third-party trackers.Nothing in the app or on this site reports to anyone else.
Published costs.Each quarter we post what Porchlight costs to run, including our margin.

We're starting with a handful of households who already know each other. If you'd like your street or friend group to be next, send us a note.
