#Interest

Someone nearby wants to do the same thing.

Say what you feel like doing, and see who within walking distance wants the same - right now, not someday.

How it works

1

Say what you want to do

"I want to #play #piano." Your post is live for up to three hours, then it is gone.

2

See who's nearby

Posts from people within your radius who want something similar, with a rough distance - never a pin on a map.

3

Send an #Interest

Tap #Interest on a post. If they accept, the two of you get a private chat.

4

Meet - or don't

Agree a time and a public place, or leave the chat. Either is fine.

Built for safety and privacy

Your exact location stays with us

Others see a distance band and an area at least 150 metres from you. Your post's location is erased the moment it ends.

Chats don't pile up

A conversation's messages are deleted a day after it ends, and a conversation ends after a day without a message.

Adults only

Every account is 18 or over and signs up with a phone number. Sexual solicitation is grounds for a ban, not a warning.

Tell a friend where you're going

Share a safety plan with someone you trust. If you don't check in, they get a text with the details.

Block and report

A block is immediate, mutual and silent. Reports about physical safety are reviewed first.
