Features

Kismet is a small app with one job: end group indecision — and every feature exists to protect the moment where fate speaks and everyone commits.

Five activity types

Each type shapes what a “pick” is, so the pool is full of real options instead of vague text: Restaurant (live place search with maps and hours), Movie Night (poster-forward picker: trending, in theaters, top-rated), Trip (destinations near or far), Night Out (bars, karaoke, bowling, anything glowing), and Anything Goes (if you can type it, fate can choose it).

Hidden submissions

Every pick is invisible to every participant — including the owner — until the draw. It’s the feature everything else is built around: no anchoring, no lobbying, no “I’ll just match what she said.” The reveal lands with genuine surprise because nobody, anywhere, saw the pool.

The lock and the draw

Two timestamps run the show. At lock, submissions seal — no edits, no late joins. At draw, the server randomly picks one — persisted seed, persisted result, zero human fingers on the scale. Owners can seal early when everyone’s in; the draw can follow in seconds or simmer for days.

The reveal

The answer ball wakes, ignites, and surfaces the winner — the same choreography on iOS, Android, and the guest web, synchronized live for everyone watching. Then the acceptance tracker: Accept your fate, one tap to calendar, done.

Crews & friends

Save your people once — the brunch crew, the trip squad, the ride-or-dies — and invite a whole crew in one tap. Add friends by exact username or phone number, straight from your contacts. Friend requests, profiles with avatars, and a history of every fate you’ve shared.

Guests by link

Anyone can join from a share link in their browser with just a name and phone number — no app, no account, no password. Guests submit, watch the same live reveal, and accept fate like everyone else. If they ever sign up, their history comes with them. The whole guest story →

Notifications that respect the ritual

Push lands at the moments that matter: a pick arrives, the seal closes, the countdown nears, fate speaks. Guests get exactly one optional text — the result — and nothing else, ever.

The vault

Every decided activity lives in your history: what fate chose, who accepted, and the losing picks still sealed forever. Some mysteries are better kept.
