Lasagna Mode
Discover nearby people without broadcasting yourself back. Reveal only when you want to reach out — it's on by default, because sometimes you just want to be a ghost.
pocket social drift
A light little social app for passing keepsakes hand to hand and noticing who is nearby — no feed, no email, no account sprawl.
What's inside
Discover nearby people without broadcasting yourself back. Reveal only when you want to reach out — it's on by default, because sometimes you just want to be a ghost.
Your identity is a key pair on your phone, not a server row. Delete the app, delete your identity. No email signup, no password to lose.
Share actual things — PDFs, text, images. Opening one is a deliberate act, not a scroll reflex. Each keepsake you receive lands in your Keepsakes tab to revisit any time.
A private timeline of the people you've crossed paths with, where, and what you traded. Your data, stored locally — never uploaded.
Anything over ~10 MB stays opt-in: large keepsakes travel only when recipients explicitly ask for them, so the first hello stays fast and light.
Every transfer includes a plaintext hash; a tampered or corrupted keepsake is rejected at the receiver before it's ever stored.
Install the beta
Z-Pass is in closed testing on both iOS and Android. Scan a QR or tap the link on your phone to opt in — you'll get subsequent builds through TestFlight or Play Internal Testing.
TestFlight invite link opens soon. Join the mailing list to get it the moment it lights up.
Play internal testing opens soon. Join the mailing list and we'll drop the opt-in link when it's live.
Stay in the loop
One email when the beta opens on each platform, and a quiet note when something new ships. No marketing spray, no drip sequences.
How a trade feels
Turn on the pulse
Z-Pass broadcasts a tiny encrypted card over BLE to anyone running the app nearby. You can stay invisible until you want to reach back.
Request a connection
Tap someone who's nearby. They see your card and decide whether to say hi back.
Pick a keepsake to send
Choose any keepsake from your Keepsakes tab. Small ones travel automatically on approve; large ones stay opt-in.
Open it later
The keepsake lands in your Keepsakes tab, encrypted in transit, integrity-checked on arrival. Read it when the moment feels right.
