The directory is how you find members and circles: by topic, and by place.
Browsing
- See members and circles, and open anyone's profile to learn a bit about them.
- Each profile shows who someone is in the community; from there you can send a friend request.
Finding people near you
- The Community directory can put people nearby first, each one shown with a soft area label like "Nearby" or "Your area," never a distance or a pin.
- Start typing a city or town and it autocompletes, then shows circles near that place. You can also search around your own location.
- You control all of this under Settings → Connections & Location: who can find you, how precise it is, and your own findability radius (see Your settings).
My Contacts
My Contacts is your own private address book: people you have met and logged, scanned from a card or a poster, or added by hand. Only you can see them.
- When someone in your contacts turns out to be a member too, Frequency spots it (by a matching email or phone) and shows a merge prompt at the top of My Contacts.
- Merge links the two. Their live member profile fills in the card, and the details you logged plus your notes stay exactly as you wrote them. A merged contact gets an On Frequency tag.
- The private details you logged also show up on that member's profile, in a card only you can see. Nobody else knows you kept a contact for them.
- If it is not the same person, Dismiss the prompt and it stays quiet.
A note on privacy
Frequency never shares anyone's exact location. You only ever see a member as a fuzzed area (about a mile across) or their city, never precise coordinates or a pin on a map, and the same is true of how you appear to others. You decide your own visibility, and Ghost mode hides you from proximity entirely whenever you want. So you can find who's nearby without anyone being pinpointed.
