See who is up for a break right now.

Cutting helps small private groups coordinate immediate real-world meetups with minimal friction.

A real-time coordination tool for spontaneous group breaks.

Features

Coordinate breaks in the moment

Private groups. Immediate meetups. No scheduling, no chat — just a clear signal when someone is up for a break.

How it works

Start a break from the composer: pick a break type, pick a group, then tap GO. It starts immediately — no pre-start dialog.

Immediacy

Everything happens now. There is no future scheduling. Time is always implied as ASAP.

One active break per type

A group may have more than one active break at the same time, but not two of the same type. Chai and Coffee can run in parallel; Chai and Chai cannot.

Social clarity

Users should immediately know what break is happening, which group it belongs to, where it is happening, who is in, and whether they can still participate.

Low friction

The primary action must always be reachable in a single tap. Starting a break should feel like: pick type, pick group, GO.

Break lifecycle

For any visible break, the ritual moves through three states on the home dashboard:

  • Active Break — participants toggle In or Out; the host may update location, add time, or tap Leave Now.
  • Cooldown — when the host leaves, a one-minute cooldown closes out that break type for the group.
  • Recent — finished breaks appear for fast repetition. Tapping a recent item restores its group and type into the composer; it does not auto-start.

Responses

Keep responses binary: In or Out. No maybe, no comments, no chat, no reactions, no discussion. The objective is to answer one question: are you coming?

Private groups

Groups are private. Create a group, join via invite link or code, switch groups, rename where allowed, or leave. Groups define who receives breaks — the product is the break.

Preset break types

Start with built-in break types, or add custom types with your own label and icon from Settings.

What Cutting is not

Cutting is intentionally not a chat app, an event planner, a social network, or a scheduling tool.
