Post a small plan for something you're into, or ask to join one near you. The planner says yes, you chat, and you meet up. Usually one-on-one or a small group.
Pick one and watch the plan build
padel on Saturday morning
Saturday padel
Never a crowd. Most Bunchups are two people, or a handful.
Hiking, chess, coffee or cooking. Start with a shared interest.
Plans that end in a real hello near you, not another chat thread.
To post a plan or ask to join one, people first confirm their photo with a selfie.
See plans from people who share your interests, from hiking and tennis to board games, so there is always something to do together.

Each part of Bunchups exists to get people in the same place at the same time.
Post in seconds. Bunchups handles the rest.
Tap the mic and say what you feel like doing. Bunchups fills in the title, time, place and interest for you to check.
Not sure when suits? Offer a few times. People tick what works, then you lock one in.
Set the vibe so the right people ask. Keep the exact spot private until someone's going: others only see the suburb.
Run the same thing every week. Save your regulars as a crew and invite them in one tap.
The right plans come to you, a few at a time.
Browse the way you like. Filter by interest, day, distance and who a plan is for.
Say what you're keen on. When three people nearby want the same thing, Bunchups brings you together and one of you makes the plan.
Every Thursday evening, a short list of weekend plans nearby with spots left. Nothing to search for.
At set times, go live to say you're free right now. See who else nearby is up for a catch-up and say hello.
Fewer empty spots, fewer last-minute dropouts.
See the first names and verified photos of everyone going before you turn up.
Someone can't make it? Bunchups quietly finds the next person for their spot, so the plan still happens.
Plan full? Join the line. If a spot opens, you're told first, in order.
Nervous going alone? Ask for two spots and bring a friend along.
Everyone who posts or joins a plan adds a photo and a selfie check first. Tools for the day are always one tap away.
A quick check-in, 15 minutes after you start.
Always meet somewhere public first. In an emergency, call 000.
A profile photo matched to a selfie before anyone can post or join.
Keep the exact place hidden until someone's going. Others see the suburb.
Send a friend where you'll be and who's going. The link stops working after the plan.
Call 000, share the meeting spot, or report and block, from the chat or the plan.
Blocking works both ways. Reports go to the Bunchups team to review.
Going on holiday? Pause your plans so no one waits on a reply.
Badges come from what people do on Bunchups, never from paying.
Tell us how it went, thank the people who made it, and do it again with the same group.
Turn your photo from the day into a card for your story, with first names only.
Say what people were like. Nice words show on profiles once a few people say them. Star ratings stay private.

We started Bunchups because loneliness is not fixed by another feed. It is fixed by a coffee, a walk, a game of tennis with someone who lives down the road.
Someone nearby is probably keen too.
