A Passing Moment.
A Possible Beginning.

Two ways to find a connection. One simple idea: a little hello can go a long way.

For the One
Still on Your Mind.

You crossed paths. Something stayed with you. Post where, when and the details you remember, then see if someone posted about the same encounter.

  1. Set the Scene

    Choose the place and time. Add the details that made this moment yours.

  2. Ask Something Only They Would Know

    A verification question helps you recognise the person who was really there.

  3. Choose Your Next Step

    Read their response. Accept a connection when it feels right. You stay in control.

Share Your Moment.
Let It Travel Further.

Every Moment you post has its own Moment Card. Share it, and more people can help it reach the person you remember, or someone who knows them.

  1. Tap Share

    Open a Moment you posted and tap Share to get its Moment Card link.

  2. Pass It On

    Send it to friends, post it on social media or copy the link. Anyone can pass it on again.

  3. They Respond on Crossed

    Whoever opens the card sees the place, the time and the details you shared, never your name or photo, and can respond on Crossed.
