Why we built Panic Hide: a letter from the founders
Panic Hide removes event and address visibility immediately for non-host users when a host needs to close access.
Hosting at home is an act of trust.
One host concern shaped this feature: "Who can see my address right now?"
That is why PokerMeet is more than a scheduling tool. It includes access controls for private-home coordination.
Why Panic Hide exists
If a host feels uncomfortable at any point, they need immediate control, not a support ticket and not a delay.
What Panic Hide does
When a host triggers Panic Hide:
- Event visibility is removed for non-hosts.
- Address visibility is removed immediately for non-hosts.
- The host regains control and can decide what happens next.
Built for immediate control
We hope hosts never need to use Panic Hide. It exists so product access can close without waiting for a support response.
Panic Hide does not replace emergency services or host judgment. If there is an immediate threat, contact local emergency services first.
