Kyouz Anywhere v1.0.4

Let me know when it happens.

You can be on the other side of the planet. You ask someone to watch the moment for you — a friend, a stranger, a clerk who's never heard of Kyouz. They scan your KyouzID from your phone or your Wallet Pass, agree to the terms, and watch on your behalf — your turn in line, your food, your class, your name being called. When the moment comes, they tap. Your phone is the only place it lands.

No app, no account, no language needed on their sideThe bond is for one moment — and ends when it happensDesigned with Privacy by Design from day one

Why this works

Kindness, at scale.

Strangers helping strangers, anywhere on Earth.

Every Anywhere scan is a person choosing to help someone they don't know. A friend at a café. A receptionist who's never heard of Kyouz. A stranger by the door of a government office. The kindness is theirs, not ours.

We didn't invent this. People have been holding spots for each other since lines existed. What's new is the range: a friend across town, a stranger in another country, a clerk who's never heard of Kyouz — all helping the same way, with the same one tap. The kindness was always there. Now it goes everywhere.

It works because most people, given the choice, will do the small kind thing. That's the assumption Kyouz Anywhere is built on — and the reason the product exists in this shape.

The mechanic is smallThe kindness is humanBoth are required

The helper needs nothing.

This is the part most products get wrong. The whole point of “anywhere” is that the person helping you didn't plan to help you. They aren't a Kyouz user. They aren't going to download an app at the door of a tailor in another country.

Anywhere works because the helper does nothing. They have a phone with a camera. They scan. They tap once. They're done.

If the product needed them to install something, sign up for something, or even know what Kyouz is — Anywhere would not exist. So none of that is required.

How it works · the four beats

Two phones. One Cue.

The mechanic is four small actions, between two people. The ask. The scan. The accept. The notify. No special app for the helper, no shared account, no link to share — your KyouzID carries everything else.

1
You ask. They listen.
You're somewhere — a café, a clinic, a classroom — and the moment you're waiting for is going to happen without you. You ask someone nearby: “Can you let me know when it happens?” A friend, a stranger, a clerk who's never heard of Kyouz. The ask is human; everything that follows is small.
2
You show. They scan.
Your KyouzID is a QR code that lives in your Kyouz app — or as a Wallet Pass on your lock screen, ready in one swipe. Pull it up. They point their camera. Their phone opens a single web page about your moment.
3
They accept. The bond is made.
A short set of terms appears — fast to read, plain language. They tap accept. From here, they're your helper for this one moment. Nothing about them is now Kyouz's; nothing about you is now theirs.
4
They see it. You feel it.
When the moment arrives — your turn, your food, your class, your name called — the helper sees it and taps Notify. Your phone asks first, you say yes, the notification lands. The bond ends.
Scenarios · everywhere on Earth

Six ways Kyouz saves your day.

A line, a coffee, a class, a doctor's call. Different moments, same shape: let me know when it happens.

Down the street · 01
At your usual coffee shop
A friend keeps watch while you take the call.
You step outside for a meeting. They scan your KyouzID. When the barista calls your name, they tap notify. Your phone buzzes; you walk back in for the latte.
Two states over · 02
A clinic in a city you're visiting
The receptionist scans your KyouzID like it's nothing.
No signup. No download. They just point their camera and tap. You wait outside in the sun. The product crosses borders even when you don't pack it.
8,000 km from home · 03
At a tailor in a country you don't speak
A stranger taps “Notify” and that's it.
No shared language needed. One button to tap — universal. You go explore the city. The tailor finishes the alterations, the stranger taps notify, your phone tells you the moment to come back.
Same waiting room · 04
A pediatrician with a fussy three-year-old
Your partner watches your spot while you walk the kid.
Your partner stays in the lobby with the bag, the snacks, the stroller. You take the kid for a five-minute lap of the parking lot. The receptionist calls your name, your partner taps — your phone buzzes.
Across campus · 05
University, between back-to-back lectures
A classmate watches the door while you grab a coffee.
You're cutting it close on time. They scan your KyouzID at the lecture hall door. The professor walks in, your classmate taps — your phone buzzes, and you make it back before the door closes.
One floor down · 06
Government services, 32 ahead of you
A stranger by the door watches for you while you grab water.
You ask the person closest to the entrance. They scan, they tap, they're now your eyes. You go to the cafeteria, the bathroom, the curb. You don't have to memorize the announcer.
Privacy · by design

A stranger can help while your privacy stands.

Anywhere was built so the helper can do their part with almost nothing of yours. Not as an afterthought — as the whole shape of the product.

The principle
Designed with Privacy by Design.
Anywhere wasn't given privacy as a feature; privacy is the constraint we built around. Every part of the bond — the scan, the notify, the moment in between — was shaped to do its job with the smallest possible surface of you exposed to anyone, including us.
What the helper sees about you
By default, nothing that identifies you.
Your name is never shared with the helper without your explicit consent. They see what's necessary to watch the moment for you — and nothing more. You decide what's revealed each time, and the default is to reveal as little as possible.
Who the helper is in your life
A stranger. Before, during, after.
Before the scan, they were a stranger. After the moment, they're a stranger again. The bond is for one moment — and ends when it ends. They don't follow you home. You don't follow them. There's no relationship to maintain.

For the full picture, see our Privacy Policy and Helper Terms — both linked from inside the product at the moment they apply.

That's Anywhere.
