FirstMove activates at the events you are already going to. Signal interest quietly. Wait for it to be mutual. Then meet the person in the room. Free, always.
Mutual only
You can only connect with someone if you have both knocked first
Ephemeral
Your profile vanishes when you leave. No trace, no timeline, no receipts.
Always free
Students never pay. Your SU or campus venue holds the licence.
Freshers week throws three hundred strangers into a room and expects chemistry to happen by accident. It rarely does. You can sit next to the same person in a lecture for a month and never learn their name. Existing apps push you into dating territory or feel like professional networking. Neither is what you need at 11pm on a Wednesday at the SU bar.

SU bar. Freshers fair. Library study floors. Sports socials. Halls common room. Society events. Wherever your campus sets up a VibeZone, FirstMove is live. Walk out and it disappears.
No swipe. No persistent profile. No algorithm picking who you see. FirstMove shows you the people who are physically in the same room as you, and who are open to meeting.
Your profile resets when the event ends. No record of who you knocked on, who knocked back, or what was said. What happens in the VibeZone stays in the VibeZone.
The app is free to download and free to use. Your student union or campus venue covers the VibeZone licence. You just show up.
The chat exists so you can find each other in the room. That is all it is for. Once you have said hello in person, FirstMove has done its job.
The 3-Way Handshake. Every connection on FirstMove starts with both people saying yes.
See someone in the VibeZone you'd like to meet? Tap their profile to quietly let them know. They won't see who it is until they knock back. No exposure. No awkwardness if it goes one way.
When the interest is mutual, both profiles are revealed at the same time. Nobody gets exposed first. Nobody gets blindsided. Consent is the only way through.
A short chat opens. Work out where you both are. Say hi in person. Then put the phone away. The app's job is done.
If only one person knocks, nothing happens. That is the point.

Every profile on FirstMove is ephemeral. It resets after every event. There is no permanent record, no social graph, and no way for anyone to find you outside the room you were both in. Consent is built into the architecture, not buried in a settings menu.
"Nothing happens on FirstMove unless both people have actively said yes." — Jahmai Enime, CEO
Tell your student union you want FirstMove at freshers week, SU nights, and campus events. The VibeZone licence sits with them, not you. Students never pay.
They get the engagement data. You get the room. Everyone gets a better night.
Free to download. No subscription. No catch. Just show up.
