## What is Pulse?

Meet Real Friends Fast with Pulse, the Friendship App

Pulse makes it easy to meet new friends in real life. Join small groups of people in your city who share your vibe, interests, and pace. Each group is on a simple mission to meet up, try something fun, and build real friendships within a 10 day deadline. If your crew meets in real life, your mission gets extended so you can keep hanging out.

No endless chatting. No awkward swiping. Just real people ready to connect and meet friends near you.

### 5/5 — Great way to create new adventures!

*2024-09-20*

I love the ability to just see who has plans around me or invite people to join me without the heavy aspect of having (as an introvert) to ask them to come join me. It favors authentic and genuine interactions with new people.
