## What is Mandemic?

Your group chat called. It wants an actual plan.

Mandemic is a free, platonic app for guys who want friends to actually do stuff with: pickup hoops, golf, pickleball, poker night, a run, trivia, a cookout. There's no swiping on people and no feed to scroll. You find a plan, tap In, and show up.

Free. No ads. Not a dating app. Not social media.

HOW IT WORKS
• Pick the activities you're into and the times you're usually free.
• Find plans near you, filtered by miles or drive time. Spots are first come, first served.
• Post your own: activity, time, place and spots. Say who it's for (Guys only, Bring your kids, or Family & partners welcome) and who can see it (guys within 15, 25 or 50 miles, or just your crew).
• When enough guys nearby like the same thing and are free at the same time, Mandemic posts the plan itself. No organizer needed. The guys who are in pick the spot.

GET A CREW
Mandemic groups guys nearby into crews of 4 to 6 who like the same things and are free at the same times. It depends on who's around, so there's no guarantee, but every new guy helps. Crews run in 8-week seasons, and the app suggests a crew plan about once a week. In week 8 everyone votes privately: keep rolling together, or get matched into a new crew. Crews are open by default so guys nearby can grab an empty spot. Any guy in the crew can make it crew only.

PLANS THAT ACTUALLY HAPPEN
• "Needs at least 4": set a minimum. If not enough guys are in a day before, it's called off automatically and nobody's score takes a hit.
• Rate your own level for each sport, and say how you like to play: just for fun, keep score, or to win. Only you see it. Plans can show a level range, so the game is good for everybody.
• Add a plan to your calendar, and get reminders a week, a day and an hour before.
• Get notified about new messages, a guy joining your plan, a plan reaching its minimum ("It's on") or getting called off.
• Every plan has its own chat for the guys who are in, and every crew has a crew chat.

RELIABILITY, NOT POPULARITY
No likes, no followers, no rating people. Your only score is whether you do what you said you'd do: show up, check in, and pay your share. Cancel more than 48 hours out and nothing happens. Late cancels and no-shows count. Everyone gets one "life happens" pass a month.

SPLITTING THE COST
When court time or a tee time costs money, the organizer sets a cost per person. You pay him through a Venmo, Cash App or PayPal link with the amount already filled in. Mandemic never holds or moves money.

SAFETY AND PRIVACY
• Report or block anyone from a chat message or a plan. A person reviews every report within 24 hours.
• Harassment, hate, threats and hookup attempts get you banned. Smaller problems get strikes, and three strikes closes the account.
• A filter blocks slurs in chats, plans and names.
• Your location is rounded to about 1 km on your phone before it's sent. Other guys see how far away a plan is, never where you are. You never give a home address. You can type your city or ZIP instead of sharing location.
• We never ask about race or ethnicity. Faith and politics questions are optional, only you can see your answers, and they count in matching only if you say they matter.
• Drinking-centered plans (bourbon, breweries) are 21 and up.
• Delete your account any time from the You tab.

WHO IT'S FOR
Any guy 18 or older (anyone who identifies as a man) who wants more friends to do things with. Dads, guys who are new in town, guys whose old friends live three states away.

Launching in Louisville, KY first. Somewhere else? You can still post plans and browse plans in other cities. There may just not be much near you yet, so bring your buddies.
