Broadcast

Broadcast drives your toy on a shared 10-minute cycle. Everyone tuned in feels the same build and climax at the same moment, anywhere in the world.

Broadcast is a source. Instead of a script or a video, it drives your toy on a shared cycle that everyone tuned in feels at the same time. Think of it like a radio station: you do not build the programme, you tune in to it.

What it is

Broadcast runs in 10-minute cycles lined up with the clock. A new cycle starts every ten minutes. Each cycle is eight minutes of build and a two-minute climax, and the climax always lands on the :00, :10, :20, :30, :40, and :50 marks past the hour.

Everyone tuned in feels the same intensity at the same second. Join at 9:04 and you feel the rest of the current cycle and the climax at 9:10.

How to start it

  1. Pair a toy.
  2. Open Broadcast from the source picker on the device's card.
  3. Press Join broadcast.

The first time, a short panel explains the rules. After that, Join broadcast takes you straight in.

You can watch a cycle without a toy paired. The heatmap keeps running so you can see the shape; you just cannot feel it until a toy is connected.

The cycle

Each cycle moves through named phases:

Every cycle has a different shape. The shape is worked out on your own device from a number that everyone shares, so every browser agrees on the curve without anything being sent between them.

The screen

Chat, participants, and the leaderboard

Broadcast has a public chat for everyone tuned in. To post, set a display name in your profile. Without a name you can still read along.

The participants panel lists everyone with a display name, plus a count of anonymous listeners. The leaderboard ranks named users by total time tuned in and number of climaxes.

Reporting a message

Every chat message from another user has a Report button. It opens a panel where you pick a reason (spam, harassment, hate speech, threats, and others), optionally add a note, and choose which of that user's messages to flag. Recent chat context is sent with the report so the moderation team can see what happened.

Privacy

No haptic data travels over the internet. The cycle is generated on your own device. The only things that reach our servers are chat messages, which are public like any chat room, and, if you use a display name, your presence and leaderboard time. Anonymous users appear only as a count.

Stopping

Press Leave broadcast, or use the Stop button to stop everything at once. See The Stop button.
