Built for the moment between “are you up?” and “on my way.”
My Status is a deliberately simple way to tell the people you care about whether you’re free — and to know when they are — without sending a single message.
Group chats are great for conversation. They’re terrible for one simple question: “is everyone ready?”
Ask it and you get twelve replies, three notifications for every person, and someone woken up who was trying to sleep in. Don’t ask it and you’re left guessing.
We wanted something quieter. A light, like the one outside a recording studio. Green, you can come in. Amber, nearly there. Red, not now. Everyone understands it instantly, it works across every age and language, and it never interrupts anyone.
That’s My Status. No feeds, no likes, no location tracking. Just a light that you control, shared with the people you choose.
“The best notification is the one you never had to send.”— the idea behind My Status
Four rules we build by
Simple beats clever
Three colours and a short message. If it needs a tutorial, we’ve over-built it.
Private by design
No location, no contacts upload, no ads. We store only what’s needed to show your light.
Never interrupt
Checking someone’s light never pings them. That’s the whole point.
You’re in control
You decide who sees you, and you can take that back in one tap.
And never will be
Small team, fast replies
My Status is designed and built in Melbourne, Australia, and runs on Cloudflare’s global network so it’s quick wherever you are — whether you’re at home, on a road trip or halfway around the world.
