Meet new people near you

A Drop is a single plan with a clear shape: what, where, when, and why. You post what you're up for, other people ask to join, you pick who comes, and you meet.

Language exchange

Practise in a cafe with someone practising the other direction.

Networking

Over coffee, without name badges.

Playground, cafe, other people in the same phase.

Who you meet on forrealz!

People new to the city

The biggest group, and everyone in it is in the same position.

Friend groups around a shared interest

A games night, a five-a-side kickabout, a quiz team, whatever you are actually into.

Parents with young kids

A playground meet-up or a cafe with space for a buggy, people on the same schedule.

Remote workers and freelancers

A coffee that is not a video call.

People whose friends all moved or had kids

Same friends, new gap in the calendar.

You know who you are meeting

You approve every Pick

You see the profile, what you have in common, and their Trust Tier before you say yes.

A Trust Tier on every profile

From Newcomer up to Icon, built by showing up and damaged by cancelling.

No open chat

An hour before the Encounter, Focus Mode opens for quick preset messages and your live location.

A mutual check-in

At the meeting, so both people prove they turned up.

Photo verification required

Before every Drop, Pick or invitation. Optional ID adds an even more trusted badge.

Public venues

Cafes, bars, climbing gyms, every time.

Frequently asked questions

How do I meet people near me?

Post something you were going to do anyway as a Drop with a time and a place. People nearby ask to join, you approve who comes, and you meet.

How do I find a friend group, not just one person?

Post a small group Drop around something specific, a games night, a five-a-side match, a quiz team, and the people who join already share that interest.

Is there a way to meet other parents?

Yes, meet other parents is one of the intents. Set it on your Drop for playground meet-ups or a cafe with room for a buggy.

Do I have to talk to people before meeting them?

No, and you cannot. There is no open chat on forrealz!. You agree on the activity and the intent, then an hour before the Encounter, Focus Mode opens for a few quick preset messages and your live location.

What if nobody joins my Drop?

It expires quietly and nobody sees a failed plan. Posting is always free, so try again on a different evening.

Is forrealz! available in my city?

The app works worldwide on iOS and Android. Coverage is thickest where we have launched actively, currently Berlin.

Someone within a kilometre of you is also free on Thursday
