FiveClose: your five, always close
FiveClose is a private circle of up to 5 people that notices when a friend goes quiet. Pick the people you never want to drift apart from, invite them, and log when you talk, message or meet. FiveClose reminds you before a relationship fades, and if you go silent, it asks your circle to check on you. No feed, no followers, no likes.
How it works
- Pick your five from your contacts, by mobile number or by email.
- Invite them with one link. They don't need the app to be in your circle.
- Tap "I'm OK" or log a check-in. Each person has a 7-day timer; when it runs out, your circle is nudged to reach out.
- Optionally share your last-seen location, visible only to people who have each other in their circles.
Why it matters
1 in 6 people worldwide are affected by loneliness, and loneliness is linked to about 871,000 deaths a year (WHO, 2025). In Japan, 76,941 people died alone at home in 2025, and 22,222 were found more than a week later (police data). Loneliness starts as relationships quietly fading, long before anyone feels alone.
