Four steps, one real meeting

01 · Discover

See what is near you

Curated ideas tied to real places, so you are not starting from a blank box.

02 · Drop

Post your plan in seconds

What, where, when, one-on-one or small group. Any time from today up to 12 months ahead.

03 · Pick

Others ask to join

You see their profile, what you have in common, and how reliably they show up. You decide who is in.

04 · Encounter

You meet

No open chat. An hour before, Focus Mode opens for quick preset messages and your live location.

Built for friendship, not just for meeting strangers

Post, don't chase

Let people join your plan instead of messaging six friends and hearing back from one.

Join what's already happening

Free evening, no plan? Answer a Drop someone nearby already posted.

Set the intent

Choose new friends, so everyone who joins knows what this is.

One-on-one or a small group

Your call, every time you post.

Friend Circles

Group the friends you already have and invite the whole Circle to a Drop in one tap.

Invite codes, not searches

Add friends with a code, or have them invite you. No username search, so nobody gets cold-contacted.

Why people who say yes actually turn up

You approve every Pick

Nobody joins your plan without your yes.

A Trust Tier on every profile

Newcomer, Regular, Anchor, Icon. Rises by showing up, falls by cancelling.

No open chat

No channel for endless stringing along, and none for scammers or fake profiles.

A check-in when you meet

You scan each other's code. It proves you both turned up and feeds the Trust Tier.

Photo verification required

Before every Drop, Pick or invitation, plus optional ID for an even more trusted badge.

Public venues

A cafe, a climbing gym, a bar, every time.

Who this is for: people new to the city (see for expats), friends who all had kids or left town, anyone out of a long relationship, remote workers who last spoke to someone in person on Tuesday, and people with plenty of friends who can't get four of them in one place before August. forrealz! is 18+ and works in German and English.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find friends near me?

Post a Drop for something you were going to do anyway, a coffee, a run, a gallery, and let people nearby ask to join. Shared activity does the work that small talk cannot.

Is forrealz! only for meeting strangers?

No. You can post a Drop visible only to friends you already have, and group them into Friend Circles to invite an entire crew in one tap.

How is this different from a swipe app?

You match on what you want to do, not on faces in a queue. No swiping, no endless chat before meeting, just a straight path to actually meeting up.

Is it free?

Free to start. Posting a Drop is always free, and your first 3 Picks are on us. After that, joining someone else's plan uses coins. Premium is available as a separate subscription with extra filters.

Do I have to meet in a group?

No. Every Drop is either one-on-one or a small group, and the person posting it decides which. You can filter for either.

How do you stop people from not turning up?

Every profile carries a Trust Tier that rises by showing up and falls by cancelling, and both people check in with each other at the meeting. Both are visible before you agree to anything.
