If you've ever experienced the supreme discomfort of running into someone you never want to see again, then boy oh boy, have we got the app for you. It's called Cloak, and it helps you fend off awkward run-ins with the girl that ate pumpkin pie filling out of your butt last weekend.

If you've ever experienced the supreme discomfort of running into someone you never want to see again, then boy oh boy, have we got the app for you. It's called Cloak, and it helps you fend off awkward run-ins with the girl that ate pumpkin pie filling out of your butt last weekend.

Cloak was developed by a fellow named Brian Moore, who, no matter how hard he tried, could not stop running into his ex-girlfriend around town. So he began to wonder if there was some sort of mobile tool that, instead of hook strangers up like most apps, could tear them apart so they would never have to suffer through the aching awkwardness again.

There wasn't an app like that, so like any good millennial, he made his own app to ensure that he could avoid his ex, as well any shit friends he didn't feel like seeing. Introverts, rejoice!

The app pulls in location check-ins from your contacts’ Instagram and Foursquare accounts, then maps out their positions based on their most recent social posts so you can give them the slip. Click on a bubble on the map, and you’ll see a person’s name, their location and about how long ago he or she checked in there. If it was a while ago, the image will appear faded, like the haunting specter of awkwardness avoided.

The app lets people set up push alerts for acquaintances they’d prefer to avoid such as, but not limited to, your ex's new wife, an annoying co-worker, that dude you gave the wrong number to last night, Justin Bieber, or your Albanian landlord who has declared a blood feud on your head because you lit the house on fire. If someone wants to drop off the grid completely, they can set up these notifications for everyone in his social networks — presumably while sneaking through dark, moonlit alleys or hiding between a fake mustache and sunglasses.

If Cloak isn't the greatest thing since sliced bread or Kate Upton's boobs, then our name isn't Rooster. And while we wait for Cloak to download, here's exactly what we'll be using it for.

Five people we're trying to avoid:

1. Molly dealer who used to deal molly but has now downgraded to meth and needs a cook partner but we like, totally got out of the game last year and we just want to go back to teaching chemistry at the local high school and recovering from lung cancer.

2. Friend told us our skin would make a nice lamp.

3. Ex who's getting married this, but we don't know how to congratulate them without simultaneously saying "fuck you" and crying like a little bitch.

4. Guy who tries to tell us about his "idea room" every time we see him, but really it's just a room covered in Post-Its and we don't give a shit.

5. Gary Busey.
