Meet people who are physically near you, safely and on your terms. 18+ only. Location sharing is opt-in and manual. You choose when to appear on the map, and you can block or report any user at any time. pullup is a lightweight, location-based icebreaker for spontaneous real-life moments. Travelling solo and want to meet locals? At a festival looking for someone to hang with? New at university? Hanging in the park? New in town? Turn your radar on and see who is around within 500 metres. This is not a dating app. No swipes, no matches, no photo sharing in chat. Just a simple way to say hi to someone nearby and start a short conversation. HOW IT WORKS Turn your radar on manually to appear on the map. It starts off every time you open the app. See real people nearby and the vibe they are up for. Send a chat request. They have to accept before you can message. Start chatting and meet up in real life. BEACON Inside a chat you can share your live location with that one person for 30 minutes. It is one-way, visible only in that chat, moves with you, and you can turn it off at any time. It disappears immediately when you stop it or when the 30 minutes are up. PERFECT FOR Travelling solo and meeting locals or other travellers Finding someone to hang with at a festival New at university and looking for people on campus Spending a chill afternoon in the park Just moved to a new city and want to say hi VIBES Pick what you are up for: Bar, Cafe, Love, Party, Sport, Club. Other people see your vibe and know what kind of hang you are open to. PRIVACY FIRST Appearing on the map is always a manual choice. The radar starts off on every launch and there is no auto check-in. Your exact location is never shared with other users on the map. Coordinates are fuzzed before they ever leave the server. Beacon is the only exception, and it is fully opt-in: exact location, one chosen person, 30 minutes maximum, no history stored. Turning the radar off deletes your live location immediately. Location history is purged after 24 hours. Read messages auto-delete 30 minutes after being read. Unread messages are deleted after 24 hours. No background location tracking. The radar only updates while the app is open. Text-only chat. No image, video, or file sending. SAFETY 18+ age verification on signup Block and report any user, any time, from the chat, the nearby list, and settings GDPR-compliant, full data export and account deletion Active moderation pullup is free to use. Turn your radar on and see who is around. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 2.1 (1) — 2026-09-16 Beacons: share your live location with someone in a chat for 30 minutes, and cancel it whenever you want. You can see everyone you are sharing with from the top bar and jump straight into that chat. Radar now covers 500 metres, and you can zoom smoothly between 50 and 500 metres to see who is close. Faster start: previous chats and messages load instantly, and the app opens straight into a purple launch screen with no flash. Redesigned chat with cleaner bubbles, live online status, profile photos you can tap to enlarge, and links to Snapchat and Instagram when people add them. New vibes to choose from: Drinks, Cafe, Love, Party, Sport and Club. ### 1.7 (1) — 2026-08-18 Location is now fully manual. You check yourself in from the map each time you want to be visible, and the system location prompt appears only at that moment. If you decline it, the radar simply stays off and the rest of the app keeps working as normal. We also made the check-in labelling clearer, so you always know whether you are on the map or not. Under the hood: faster startup, smoother map performance, more reliable chat delivery, and a number of small fixes across the app. ### 1.6 (3) — 2026-08-06 Location is now fully manual.
